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 Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on October 29, 2010 at 7:02pm: Has anyone from ship 9 div 10 NOT received a call? I'm starting to wonder if there was something wrong with his calling card.

Comment by TMH (Ship 9 Div.14) on October 29, 2010 at 5:54pm: That is great you got a call TRea's Mom! I am still all smiles from mine yesterday :-).

Comment by diannep on October 29, 2010 at 5:17pm: Amy'sMom: Yes, I would think that is possible. More as a disciplinary tool probably if they aren't working together. But let's hope that they receive it soon because...yes...it is so important to them.

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on October 29, 2010 at 4:47pm: Anyone out there got a son named Stephen on ship09 div013?

Comment by TRea's Mom (ship 09 div 015) on October 29, 2010 at 4:31pm: I just received a call from my son!!!! We talked for about 20 minutes and he sounds great!!!

Comment by chandlersmom on October 29, 2010 at 4:08pm: I guess I would know if anything went wrong with Chandler like if he got in trouble? I don't think he would but you never.. I just want him to write!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope they allow them to soon!! And I hope they get thier mail soon!!

Comment by diannep on October 29, 2010 at 3:11pm: 11/5 group is starting to post about their I'm a Sailor calls coming in....you may want to check it out! Very exciting! Won't be long before that is you all!

Comment by Dodie on October 29, 2010 at 11:32am: I emailed the RTC about Thanksgiving & this is the response that I received:

U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command wrote:
"Not every recruit will be eligible for Adopt a Sailor. It depends on how far along they are in their training. Those recruits who are eligible will be have the opportunity to send home paperwork to fill out. For those who are eligible whose family cannot make it to Great Lakes, or if the recruit decides not to send home the paperwork, will be adopted out in large groups to area civic organizations."

Comment by vita3 on October 29, 2010 at 9:01am: Sherrinukemom, my sons in ship 09 div 015. Did you get a call yet?

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on October 29, 2010 at 5:48am: Well, I didn't get a call yesterday, but Brandon's girlfriend, Lacey, did. She said he is doing well...all the numbness is gone from having his wisdom teeth pulled. He is in charge of folding clothes (whatever that means) and will be on the front row at PIR. He is G&G and is not happy about that. I guess his plane will leave sometime between 2-6am on Saturday, so not sure if we'll be able to take him off RTC on Friday after PIR or not. I had already heard he was G&G from mom (thanks Dawn), so I prepared his GF to play it up and stay positive. She said he seemed fine once they got to talk. He's running out of paper and envelopes and asked me to send some cuz he doesn't know when he gets to go to store again. He was gonna call me, but RDC started yelling at him to get off the phone, so I never got a call, but that's OK. I know he NEEDED to hear Lacey's voice. After a ll, I've talked to him 3 times already (for paperwork stuff). He said his division started with 90, now down to 81. That's all I can think of.
