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 sandy Ship3 Div 17 on October 25, 2010 at 8:02pm: I really think we will see some letter this week and yes we do have to keep our heads up and I agree - No news is good news. Thanks everyone for keeping me in check. LOL

Comment by Ashley (Ship09 Div009) on October 25, 2010 at 7:36pm: im glad to hear there are other people from TN YAY! I'm so ready to see Curtis i sure hope the next 5 weeks fly by!

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on October 25, 2010 at 6:22pm: I got 2 letters last week too...this time they were 2 letters in the same envelope, written just one day apart. Just so nice to hear from him. Hope everyone gets lots of letters this week.....

Comment by Sherri_M on October 25, 2010 at 6:14pm: Yay! Glad you got letters...did you get any last week or was these your first ones?? Yay, I am glad you got them, also glad he's doing ok after the wisdom teeth...thinking I would not have been awake, but that's me...infact when I got mine out, I was out! Glad to hear it's not too bad! That's what MIchael said...toughest part was no communication with family...

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on October 25, 2010 at 5:55pm: We're from TN also. I got 2 letters today!!! Yippeee. Brandon says he's doing fine, passed his first PFA and IFA. He got his wisdom teeth out on the 20th and is doing OK; said he was awake for the whole thing and it hurt so bad. He says write everyday if you want to. I've been writing everyday, but only sending every other day, so I guess I will send out a letter every day. He says he loves hearing from everyone and he loves writing....can't wait to write, he says. He says it's easier than he thought it would be and is worried about nuke school.

Comment by Sherri_M on October 25, 2010 at 5:21pm: Lovingmycurtis, I am from TN!!!! Also, my sons's GF is on here and she is of course from TN as well!

Let's def keep our heads up for our kids! We will get those calls, just on the Navy's time schedule...they apparently don't like moms time schedules..LOL....anyway, as I heard over and over....NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS!!!! Even though it is very tough, if you haven't heard anything, that is great news, means they are hanging in there and are ok....remember, they are all in the same boat...none of them get to hear from us either....but soon, very soon we'll be watching graduate...well, it seems like forever, but only 38 days!!!!!!! HOOYAH!!!

Comment by diannep on October 25, 2010 at 3:44pm: Yes, Aggie: I found the same when I read the BStations article. Someone had posted it on another PIR site and I had never seen it before. Disney created the ship and I'm sure used all of its wonderful talent in making it seem so real!

Comment by diannep on October 25, 2010 at 3:42pm: LovingMyCurtis: Ahhhh, that is a question that has no answer as every ship is different and times are different depending on world situations. My son's is in dry dock...so no deploying for at least another couple of years.

Comment by Ashley (Ship09 Div009) on October 25, 2010 at 1:11pm: is there any1 who is from tennessee? diannep i have A question for you... after they get stationed somewhere how often do they deploy?

Comment by Aggie08Mom (ship 02,div. 903) on October 25, 2010 at 12:52pm: JAB's Mom, my son's Ship 02, Div. 903 too. I haven't gotten any letter, I was hoping so badly that I'd get one over the weekend. I'm thinking if they get to write on Sunday, maybe I'll get one Wednesday or Thursday.

diannep, thanks for the article about BS21. It gave me a lump in my throat thinking about when they get their new Navy caps!
