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 DebbieD-Sailor Mom on January 25, 2011 at 1:49am: My sons pants legs were rolled up also....what is up with that....it made me laugh

Comment by DebbieD-Sailor Mom on January 25, 2011 at 1:47am: Received my sons box and form letter today....he left January 18. I was so excited. Looked like he just took everything off and through it in the box....went through everything looking for his cell phone..at first did not think he sent it, then pulled his shoes out and it was stuffed inside one of them...lol.

Comment by Junebug (Ship 2 Div 918) on January 25, 2011 at 1:14am: Finally opened "The Box." I had to laugh at his pants' legs rolled up! His jacket was still zipped up halfway...it got caught so he pulled it over his head. His ticket info and a receipt from the airport here were also in the box. Not food but he had told me he was going to buy a puzzle magazine. Oh, there was a large piece of Oreo cookie in there! He must have ate them on the plane and a piece got into his pocket! Didn't cry but let the dog sniff the clothes...she then ran to the door looking for him. Now that just about made me cry.

Tomorrow is the day for you Beth to get that address!!!

Comment by oregonmom on January 24, 2011 at 11:51pm: Congrats Navywife23. A call is so cool. We are all going thru different stages, it's so wild!!

Congrats Seabee Wife Dawn on getting your box. Was there anything besides his clothes in the box?

So glad Navy MaMa that your DIL got the call.

Tomorrow should bring lots more news for all of us. Makes me want to go to bed! LOL

Comment by davysnavywife (Groton CT) on January 24, 2011 at 11:03pm: I did get the call!!!! But no box or letter... he sounded great!

Comment by SeabeeWifeDawn(ship 02 DIV 918) on January 24, 2011 at 11:02pm: Got my box!!! No letter though so I'm going to call our recruiter tomorrow to see what he can find out for me. It's so exciting now that some of us are starting to get addresses!

@Beth- don't feel too lonely w/o your ship/div #, the rest of us WILL get them soon!

I was really surprised to see Hubs clothes in the box, he wore old clothes he was going to donate. But it sure was nice to smell his shirt, maybe I'll have to change the cover on my build-a-hubs! lmao

Comment by Junebug (Ship 2 Div 918) on January 24, 2011 at 10:36pm: NavyMaMa--So glad your DIL got the call. I bet that makes you feel so much better after waiting so long last week.

Rissysmom--we are a funny group, aren't we!! LOL....Once I got my SR's DivShip I checked it with the PIR dates. It could change but I'm hoping it stays the 18th (spring break week for me!).

Stay strong everyone!

Comment by oregonmom on January 24, 2011 at 10:33pm: No box, no letter but I did the ship and the division from the recruiter. I suddenly love that man and he calls me mam!! Ship 7 div. 106!! I have an address and that makes me soooo happpy. This is a roller coaster isn't it? Stay Strong.

Comment by RissysMom(Proud Mom of a Sailor) on January 24, 2011 at 10:32pm: Hello ladies, how is it that you already have your PIR? I'm waiting for something, anything. so I don't really know if I belong in this group. But all of you seem to be pretty funny.
