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 RissysMom(Proud Mom of a Sailor) on January 25, 2011 at 8:37pm: It's Good to hear all of the good news. :-}

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2011 at 8:15pm: Angie: Many of us found great comfort in knowing that when our sailors were there, they couldn't drink in bc, smoke, dip, had good food, good exercise, etc....a great time to get rid of bad habits and get strong and healthy! Alas, some of them return to bad habits at A School...but pray hard that bad habits are broken!

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2011 at 8:11pm: Hannah'sSailor: Congrats to you! Maybe you can help the ladies on here with specific questions about what goes on in the barracks, testing, etc. Things that only those who were IN THERE would know! :-) Good luck to your fiance!

My son graduated last year, but some of us veteran moms are on here to help. I have a question for you: In the beginning of bc, were you all only allowed to write on Sundays? And once the mail was finally delivered to you all for the first time, was it delivered 6 days a week? That is what we always thought (and then later on, recruits could mail out on other days during the week)...but on another group, 2 recruits from the same division said that they only received mail on Sundays but could write any day. ????? They are pretty close to the beginning of bc.

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2011 at 8:06pm: Angie: They usually update the PIR dates on Mondays...so hopefully next Monday, this group will be on the RTC site. They don't update EVERY Monday, but they didn't this week, so hopefully next week.

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 25, 2011 at 7:24pm: Congrats Beth!!! I know you are thrilled you have those numbers now and your name looks beautiful I got my box today pants weren't rolled up, he's such a rebel :) stinky shoes and socks but I did smell his jeans and tshirt but then I put them in the laundry pile HIs coat smells of cigarette smoke. yuck..I hated that I hope that the forced 8 weeks of not smokting will last longer than 8 weeks I cried a little but not too bad He drew a design on the top of the box and he wrote a 2 sentence note to his girlfriend about how she was beautiful and that the moon was just a pretty FUnny I remember looking at that moon that nite and his girlfriend also commented on the moon

Seabee I hope it works out for you tomorrow as well as oregonmom!

Comment by oregonmom on January 25, 2011 at 7:15pm: Seabee wife - GRRR that sucks!!

I will pray that you have it tomorrow. This part of the Roller Coaster is no fun!!

(( hugs to you and all ))

GO NAVY

Comment by oregonmom on January 25, 2011 at 7:12pm: Beth our sons are on the same ship and division!!! And yes your name looks much more complete, Congratulations.

No box for us again today. But I have an address and the ship and division, I can go on!!

Comment by Hannah'sSailor(Ship07DIV105) on January 25, 2011 at 5:13pm: Hey all you moms with Recruits graduating on th 18th. My fiancee is there right now, and I've already been there, so bring on the questions. I know my fiancee's mom got her box today, and should get the form letter this week. If your recruits arrived last week they MAY have gotten to write for about an hour last Sunday. When your recruit sends the form letter they will be on P-2 day, and whatever date it says they will graduate is the day, unless they get set back in training. I know I'm not a mom, but I'm a fiancee thats been there, and got my Navy ball cap lol. My fiancee is in Ship 07 Div 105. You can go ahead and write to your recruit and have them ask their RDCs if they are gonna be grad & go.

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 25, 2011 at 4:23pm: Guaranteed to make you laugh check it out I can't wait til we can add to this discussion!! http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/1971797:Topic:856292?id=197...
