OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Momof1 Ship2Div909 on December 7, 2010 at 3:11pm: Hi Cat- Wow !! I was reading and sounds like we need to really not be specific when we talk about our SR's if we don't want to draw attention to them. Maybe thats why its a lil quiet here today.. moms r scared to say anything, as probably our sons are, too... do you know of a way we can privately talk to each other?

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 7, 2010 at 2:58pm: Hi Momof1, It has been quiet on here today, huh? No letter for me so far. Hope everyone else has luck...

Comment by Momof1 Ship2Div909 on December 7, 2010 at 2:43pm: So much to reading to do to catch up to you all... just want to check in to see if anyone has received letters from SR's in ship 2 div 909??? I'm still waiting.. going into full stalking mode on postman..hahaha gonna but out the camos here soon...hahaha

Comment by Ellen B on December 7, 2010 at 12:09pm: "On this Pearl Harbor Day, we remember the sacrifice our fellow sailors paid in order to protect the liberty and ideals this country was founded on." US Navy Life

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 7, 2010 at 11:57am: I copied this from another group, we must remember what today is:

Pearl Harbor Day. I just wanted to take a moment today to remember all who gave their lives 69 years ago today. And to those who survived and fought another day along with all the families affected. As Navy moms/families, we can only begin to imagine the pain that must have been felt that day by the families. For a day that "will live in infamy", may we never forget. .

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 7, 2010 at 11:43am: *think

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 7, 2010 at 11:42am: Nope Nascarnov, I don't the boys have but I do believe that the girls from 051 sent home letters.

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 7, 2010 at 11:38am: Oh yes, I did get the box and form letter a week after he left. It has just been 21 and counting and would really love to get a letter from him

Comment by nascarnov on December 7, 2010 at 11:37am: Kathy-I received the box and form letter. No actual letter from my SR or a phone call. I don't think anyone in DIV 51 has received an actual letter. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 7, 2010 at 11:23am: Nada-Ziltch! no word from my SR. Hoping for a letter this week. Actually praying for a letter this week. My son left on the 16th
