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 SailorMom on January 25, 2011 at 2:43pm: ::Staring at the phone:::

Comment by Sue M (SHIP 12 DIV 095) on January 25, 2011 at 2:34pm: You Two are very lucky..... can't wait to hear my sons voice, just hope he calls home and not the "GF's" on the first call.

But they will do what they do..... Keep Sharing your news with the rest of us.

It helps "All" of us to stay motivated and hopeful we'll hear from them soon.

Comment by SailorMom on January 25, 2011 at 2:31pm: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by terrijeann ship 12 div 101 on January 25, 2011 at 2:23pm: I can't believe it!!! My son just called!!! He's only been there a week.. Thank god I had my cell phone next to me!! Moms: keep your cell phone with you 24-7!!!! I thought something was wrong, nothing wrong, just needed his high school's mailing address for verification..He sounded SO good!!! Said he is not getting enough sleep but is well.... phone call lasted about 3 minutes....Oh my gosh!!!

Comment by SailorMom on January 25, 2011 at 2:21pm: HapsMom: Sorry to bug you but you've got me now duct-taping my phone to my body. Did your son mention if this was a "reward" phone call? Sometimes recruits get calls because they're in a division that's won something or done something spectacular. Or is he in an 800 or 900 division?

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2011 at 2:12pm: Jean H: Yes, on the password request. They are very protective of that word because it allows access to the base. But writing your son is the best thing to do. You have time here...and he can also tell you if he calls. Write it down in several places once you have it. There are some on every PIR site that lose the letter, never got the letter, etc....and are in a jam with no password. Not to worry...your son will have it. The ladies on here are not supposed to share it...even though they want to, I'm sure!

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2011 at 2:10pm: terrijeann: They start with 88 recruits, lose some, and then gain more back, but they graduate with alot less than 88 usually.

You may want to start a discussion group up above for Div 101 if no one has done that yet. A good place for all in your division to meet up! Still post on this main board and check it for info because Jessica, Lala, and I don't post much in the discussion groups. We look on the main board mainly for questions so post on here too!

Comment by frandrea<3 Ship 12.Div 93 on January 25, 2011 at 1:43pm: Well, he said to me, "Baby, they may just take the picture and not give me any warning." I said, "Well, you better let them know that you have a marriage on the line" haha (all in good fun, of course...but I DO want a smile!)

Speaking of smiles: For everyone out there who doesn't have much to do or can't sleep (like me!) Check this out-http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/1971797:Topic:856292?id=197...

Guaranteed smiles and a lighter heart <3

Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on January 25, 2011 at 1:41pm: I just talked to the public affairs office about getting a new password. They say have to send a letter to my SR in order to get a new one. Does that make sense?

Comment by terrijeann ship 12 div 101 on January 25, 2011 at 12:43pm: Any ship 12 div 101 moms out there? Not sure how many recruits are in each ship? Does 88 recruits sound about right?
