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 20, 2010 at 11:03pm: Glad to hear some of you are getting letters - I can't wait, but I fear I am a few days away from being serious about chasing down the mailman. LOL!! Sunny, what day did your daughter get to GL. I am curious how so many divisions can graduate the same day? I assume more than one division is formed in a day? Just wondering how soon after you get a letter would I get one - I know OVER ANXIOUS I AM.

Comment by marylou (ship09 div015) on October 20, 2010 at 10:24pm: that's awesome QT! I teared up reading about your son's letter. I cant wait for my sons.

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 20, 2010 at 9:25pm: So glad we had wisdom teeth done 2 years ago, and tonsils 30 days before she left! Tonsils - that was awful, way worse than the wisdom teeth when have it done as an adult! She was literally down for 10-days, couldn't even think about doing PT even if she wanted to. You don't realize how many normal day to day movements cause movement in your throat which is painful when you have tonsils removed! It was at least 2 weeks before she could really start getting back into PT again!

Comment by Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on October 20, 2010 at 9:18pm: I had a reply all type out until my Foster dog jumped in my face and I accidentally hit delete (anyone want to adopt a Basset??)!

I knew about the wisdom teeth. Possibly tonsils too. They want to prevent future problems as much as possible.

I am really excited that letters are starting to arrive! I hope we all hear from our recruites this week!

Comment by Sherri_M on October 20, 2010 at 8:53pm: Hey all, I was surprised we did get one today...usually our mail runs about a day or more behind everyone elses....we live in the country and never get things on time! I hope you all receive one tomorrow!! And all of us receive phone calls this weekend!!!!!

Comment by fyrwife (EM Nuke mom) on October 20, 2010 at 8:38pm: We did not receive a letter from our son today. So sad! I am hoping that we will have a surprise waiting for us in the mailbox tomorrow. I am so happy for all of those who did recieve their letter and am sure that the tears flowed.

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 20, 2010 at 8:21pm: QT4JLM - Yay for letters! I didn't get one today :(, maybe tomorrow. I'm hoping the entire division gets a phone call on Sunday! I'm crying already!!! I woudl LUV LUV LUV to hear from my girl :)

Comment by Sherri_M on October 20, 2010 at 7:47pm: Braintreemom...Happy Birthday to you son, how old is he? My son celebrated his 18th bday and 4 days later was shipped off....

Comment by Sherri_M on October 20, 2010 at 7:45pm: nuke mom (ship 9, div 13)....wow that's alot for a week...I hope he does well with the wisdom teeth coming out and doing those tests...my son had 3 cut out when he was 16, was in bed for 2 days...3rd day he was up and heading to the indy 500....but still took Tylenol...not the pain killers...he was still swelled but wasn't about to miss his annual trek to the INDY 500! Glad he's doing well!

My son's GF texted me and said she had got one...of course the one day I couldn't get out of work sooner...I was soooo excited to see if he wrote us too....he did!! Said things are going well and can't wait to see us and talk to us!! Never knew a letter would make you feel so wonderful!
