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 Ashley (Ship09 Div009) on October 21, 2010 at 2:23pm: My boyfriend of 3 years is in ship 09 div 009 and i have received two letters so far. I got my first real letter last Thursday and i got my second letter last night. He said that he hasn't received any letters yet which is weird because as soon as i got his address i started sending him letters.

Comment by Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on October 21, 2010 at 2:06pm: I got one today! He did sound down in one part but good in another. He is in charge of his division, said he made lots of friends already and a few enemies. Hope the *enemies* part was a joke! lol He said the food wasn't too bad. Has already started the countdown til he graduates. No mention of anymore medical problems which is a HUGE relief!

Comment by Molly*corpman* mom on October 21, 2010 at 1:54pm: it doesn't bother me that Matt is the division clown cuz yes he would he would make everyone smile , even in the toughest times.... I feel bad that im the on my second letter and everyone else is only on their first or havent got on at all... i hope everyone is doing good and i think once i he hears my voice he will be ok, I hope that is grandfather from up above is looking down on him and giving him the strenghth to get through this.... is there anyon else out there that has recieved to letters yet? thanks to everyone for your support, it means alot

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2010 at 11:26am: The 9/2 PIR group had 14 divisions in it...now THAT'S LARGE! And one of the ladies in that group said she was an "extra" and not on the guest list, but got in and didn't have to wait to be seated until all of the guests listed were seated. Maybe because she was just one person...they may have made "groups" wait to make sure there was room.

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2010 at 11:24am: BraintreeMom: Ok, LOVED "the crush on the mailman" comment....soooo, DO YOU???? It might help to PRETEND if you want your recruit's letters on time! :-)

HOOYAH, Sunny! So glad for your upbeat letter!

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 21, 2010 at 11:13am: Yay!!! Got a letter from Meg! My hubby called and read it to me!! She says their RDC's are really cool; one looks like J-Lo, the other is "smokin hot", and the chief is crazy and looks like Mr. Clean.....all meant in a good way. She was very complimentary about all of them! She says she gets through the day by looking forward to chow, but never feels like she can chew fast enough to get as much as she wants. Says food is pretty good but imagines it will get old and has a list of food she wants to eat. At chow she was really craving mandarine oranges and low and behold they brought out mandarin oranges on the desert tray and so she said "small prayers do get answered"! Says they don't get outside much but when they do she knows she'll see trees and squirrles, and it will most likely smell like hot dogs LOL! She also said she thinks they will start receiving their mail tomorrow.....meaning Monday 10/18 since she wrote on Sunday 10/17. She was very upbeat, so I'm happy about that. I'm on cloud 9 for the day!!

Comment by dillndrewsmom on October 21, 2010 at 10:26am: my son turned 19 yesterday.. no letter yet " (.. I hope today as I really think my mail man thinks I have a crush on him..lol

Comment by JAB's MOM (Ship 02/DIV 903) on October 21, 2010 at 10:23am: Anyone from Ship 2 Div 903 received any more letters?

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 21, 2010 at 9:41am: Molly**Matt's Mom - I think what he's feeling is completely normal for them at this point, and I would agree with Lala, Division Clown makes others happy and think that you need to be happy and proud of that!

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 21, 2010 at 9:34am: sandy - my daughter arrived at GL on 10/6. I'm pretty sure this entire group's (divisions 09-018, plus 903) 11 divisions mostly arrived between 10/4-10/8! I think the last training group of the Navy's fiscal year actually had 13 divisions graduating on one day, but yes this is a very large group!!
