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 Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on January 17, 2011 at 5:36pm: Left a message on the 3/4 PIR group. I was noticing that the PIR list 7 divisions graduating on that date but list only 6 maybe 91 is the missing link.

Comment by Valarie26 on January 17, 2011 at 4:18pm: I know he sent a box home because he took his cell and most def wouldn't have tossed that! lol Im just worried that it somehow got lost or something. Hopefully it comes tomorrow, but i'm not leaving the house till it does. My hubby left a voicemail too...I listen to it 100x a day

Comment by Mayflower on January 17, 2011 at 4:11pm: JaredJen, I got both the same day, today! So it seems FedEx delivers on most days.

Comment by ashlove2317-GM C SCH. SAN DIEGO on January 17, 2011 at 3:53pm: Lala- that made me tear up. Sounds like your girl really knew she wanted to be a sailor.

Niko- I do the same thing....My phone goes EVERY where I go.

I am sure we are all doing that.

Comment by JaredJen (Seth) on January 17, 2011 at 3:15pm: Got the box!!!! Now waiting until tomorrow so we can call the recruiter and get his address. Yep, cried when I saw the fedex guy but feel so much better now. March will be here before I know it. Thanks ladies!!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 17, 2011 at 2:37pm: ashlove your husband sound like an awesome man. How adorable it was for him to put all the notes and messages for you and your little one. My daughter called my cell from the airport as well when she knew I was going through a dead-zone on my way back home from MEPS the day she left. She told me "Please don't worry, try not to cry, and go out and have fun and write all about it in my letters. This will be hard but it is what I want to do and I can do anything for 8 short weeks. I got this mom. Everything is good, I am safe I will be just fine, I love you and always will." Well, let me tell you I listened to that message many many times. And cried every time I did :)But it really did help a lot.

Comment by nikosmom ( CVN 70, Seaman ) on January 17, 2011 at 2:18pm: my recruit only took the clothes on his back, he told me ahead of time he was just gonna toss them. maybe some of your boys did the same. someone said they got a call on Saturday, how lucky are you!!! i keep my phone with me everywhere i go, even in the bathroom, I don't want to take a chance of missing a call. come on 847********* where are you.

Comment by Valarie26 on January 17, 2011 at 1:22pm: Is there any way to get a tracking number for the box or do they sometimes ship it UPS? I called fedex and they said nothing is coming to my address and this is the only address he could send it to. Im freaking out!

Comment by ashlove2317-GM C SCH. SAN DIEGO on January 17, 2011 at 12:49pm: Mollie-

I am doing ok. I feel like my chest weighs a ton every second though. I just listened to the messages he left me and our 2 yr old on his phone. Hearing his voice was bittersweet.

Comment by ashlove2317-GM C SCH. SAN DIEGO on January 17, 2011 at 12:45pm: I found out they wont get letters right away a few days ago and it makes me very sad to know that they arent hearing from us and thinking we arent writing.
