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 jennnyj on January 11, 2011 at 8:26pm: mountain mama- yes he is going to school for master at arms. i didnt think he would be a grad and go.. makes me upset, i just hope i will be able to spend all day with him on friday..

Comment by NavyGirl10(Ship09 Div076) on January 11, 2011 at 8:17pm: Got a call from my daughter today. It was so good to hear voice. She was tired but in good spirits. She said they have a lot of SR that talk alot so they get IT alot. They start out with 1 hour call time and ended up with 36 minutes. They lost 3 minutes everytime they had to tell them to be quiet. Though I'm sure it wasn't said to them that nicely. LOL

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on January 11, 2011 at 8:10pm: jennnyd - is your recruit going to MA school? I ask because that's where my son is going and I haven't heard from him yet. Maybe that means he is also grad and go.

Comment by jennnyj on January 11, 2011 at 7:53pm: got a call from Brian today!! he called and i missed it and started crying... about 10 minutes later i saw that 847 number again!!!! was sooooo HAPPY! But did find out that he is a grad and go and will leave on saturday for a school in texas

Comment by bendebhartner(ship09-DIV075) on January 11, 2011 at 7:46pm: got a call from Kyle today! haven't recieved letters or call til now, I was so happy to hear from him. he gets 4 hrs sleep a night, he says he is troup line leader and they get alot of IT for chatty recruits. everyday someone goes to the infirmary for passing out from IT. When they march he carrys several packs on his back cause several people where having trouble carrying them, He is a grad and go, and leaves saturday morning. He sounded happy and upbeat, I told him I was keeping informed by all the moms and wives on here and he was surprised that I knew as much as I did about what was going on, I hope you all got calls from your recruits!

Comment by MariaM on January 11, 2011 at 7:43pm: So happy for all of you with the phone calls. Dont understand whats going on with Divison 913. Of all of us with the SR's there....no phone calls since they left on Dec 14th. Any reasons? Dont get it!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Scrappy1(Carol) on January 11, 2011 at 7:37pm: Ok, we got a call today. It was so nice that we were able to ask some questions and get the answers. He knows an Andrew who may be from Idaho? He likes his bunkmate whose last name starts with an F. He and his friends have always gone by last names so he has no clue about first names but will try to pay attention. He knows Caleb and said he is pretty cool. They are being detoxed on caffeine so only black coffee. The only soda is coke zero. He said food is pretty good most days but he is back to eating sweets. I'm not sure what sweets would be since he doesn't really like them he did say he is eating cereal twice a day :-) He sounded more tired than he did Sunday, tomorrow is day 3-1 for his group. Loves the mail, we send sports items etc.. He did say typed letters were easier to read since they read late at night and the lighting makes it hard to read ink. The best part is he has "head" duty. Nothing makes Mama more happy! Hang in there ladies you will be hearing from you loved one soon. They only send mail out on Sunday but get their mail everyday so keep sending them letters. They love it.

Comment by navymom99(ship09 div075) on January 11, 2011 at 7:33pm: Yah, got a call from Casey. Said they had to run in the snow to earn it. She sounded so good. She is going to be a grad and go and will fly out saturday morning sometimes. Of course they may get over there to the Air Port and sit and wait for a while which would be good for us. She talked alot about some of the stuff they have done whic alot I did not understand but just took it all in. She says she has made alot of friends and that the food is pretty good. It is more like home cooking. We talked alot but can not get it all in. I will update you as I recall stuff.
