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 Mollie (Ship 12 DIV 095) on January 27, 2011 at 10:48pm: AGCSSailorMom, I'm so glad you got a letter! I hate our sons are not in the same division, but they will still have the same PIR. Thanks for sharing your news!

Comment by AGCSailorMom(Ship12Div096) on January 27, 2011 at 10:39pm: Oh I am sooooo happy!!! I finally got a letter from my son. He sounds good. Says it's going by fast! That he has met alot of new buddies. He also says that they are working out and running alot, that doesn't mind it though. His Ship is 12 and Division is 096. Anyone else on that ship and division, I would love to hear from you!

Comment by diannep on January 27, 2011 at 10:22pm: amsred: Our rule of thumb on here with calls is: Be ready any time!

Comment by Mollie (Ship 12 DIV 095) on January 27, 2011 at 9:38pm: Amsred2, I am a full time student too and I would gladly fail a test if it meant getting that call from my son! The one call I got other than the "I'm here" call was on Saturday afternoon. I have wondered the same thing about if there was a "usual" time they would call.

Comment by amsred2 (Ship 12, Div 102) on January 27, 2011 at 8:56pm: A question for those that have gotten phone calls. Do they come primarily in the evening or during the day...or is there no rhyme or reason. I guess I will just start forwarding all my house calls to my cell phone. I am a full time student so all my teachers will just have to understand when i go running out of the classroom to constantly answer my phone.

Comment by Phillips Mom (Ship012Div092 on January 27, 2011 at 8:41pm: Just got our fisrt. Letter!!!!! Cried the entire time I read it. Lol. He says he's in a push division but based on his grad date, he'll be there for more than weeks. Anyone know more information?

Comment by amsred2 (Ship 12, Div 102) on January 27, 2011 at 8:33pm: I am so ready for a letter, but I can guess that if my son has ANY free time, he will find a place to hide and sleep instead. Who knows, maybe he'll be homesick enough to write. Congrats to all those who got letters! I know it makes your day...week!

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on January 27, 2011 at 8:23pm: momsnavy: that is so cool that he wrote to his brother!!!

Comment by cody's mom (ship 12 div 091) on January 27, 2011 at 8:22pm: Happy Dance, Happy Dance, Im doin the Happy Dance!!!!!! I got a letter!!!!! It was the best feeling in the whole world!!!!! He sounds great. He seems to be doing really good. Did say it was really cold. He even made a comment that sounded all grown up...said he has learned new limits for himself. Was doing things that he thought was pushing him over the edge but come to find out, he got through it. PROUD MOMA!!!!!!!!!!!! Im pretty sure im gonna sleep with the letter under my pillow tonight LOL.
