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 Ryans mom on October 23, 2010 at 7:28am: Since I just joined recently, I didn't know about the others being sent home. Have they all been health issues, or have they sent any home for other reasons? Sure helps to know I am not the only worry wart in the world reading all your messages. I guess this is why this board is for moms. The dads would be on here telling us we are over reacting.

Comment by marylou (ship09 div015) on October 22, 2010 at 11:58pm: Linda, did you call his recruiter??

Comment by marylou (ship09 div015) on October 22, 2010 at 11:14pm: I'm with you sandy

Comment by diannep on October 22, 2010 at 11:13pm: sandy: Calls can come on any day, not just Sundays. No set day or time.

Comment by Rena'(Dylan's mom) on October 22, 2010 at 10:38pm: Yeah Me!!! I finally got a letter a letter today. my son has been gone since 10-4 and this has been the longest 18 days ever... it was very awesome though that today happened to be his dads birthday and he wrote a special note to everyone in our house. it was super sweet. he said he was nominated Education Petty Officer. what is this? i really hope to get a phone call soon and hear his voice now. hopefully those of you that haven't gotten a letter yet will get yours tomorrow. it really helps to see their handwriting....

Comment by sandy Ship3 Div 17 on October 22, 2010 at 10:07pm: I am beginning to feel like a 2 year old: "I want a phone call I want a letter" Is that too much to ask for. LOL!!! Do any of you think they will get to call this Sunday if they have been there two weeks? Are calls only on Sundays?

Comment by Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on October 22, 2010 at 9:51pm: Sunny I am so sorry for you and Meg! Breaks my heart that any of them would be sent home. :-(

I hope you moms that haven't gotten a letter yet get one tomorrow.

Comment by Sherri_M on October 22, 2010 at 9:15pm: Sunny, sorry to hear about the daughter.....but glad she's ok....let us know how she's doing!!

I hate that many people haven't gotten letters yet...I hope you get one very soon!! It's such a relief to get that letter, so I'm praying tomorrow is everyones luck day!!

Comment by CJ's Mom on October 22, 2010 at 9:09pm: Sunny sorry to hear about Meghan! Glad she is okay even if she is a little anemic. She will probably make a wonderful nurse.

I worry my son won't make it. He was somewhat lazy in high school (okay very lazy) and his ASVAB score was Average. Anyway he actually was cut out for the miltary life and does extremely well with structure and directions. So I hope he continues to do his best.

Comment by Ashley (Ship09 Div009) on October 22, 2010 at 7:55pm: Curtis is going to be a Master At Arms and his A school is in San Antonio Texas. He had said in his letter to me that he hadn't received any letters yet but they told him he would start getting mail on Monday 10/18/2010 which means he has already started getting it now YAY! I'm so sorry for the ones who haven't received mail yet =[ I'm sure you will get a letter this coming week sometime... i will pray for each and every1 of you guys!
