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 LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 <3 on February 7, 2011 at 9:02am: Conster1114 I have yet to receive a letter either wat ship/div is your daughter in? The only thing I received was a form letter also I'm praying that I get something in the mail today because sometimes I feel like I'm writing to casper I have sent over 20 letters lol and haven't received anything back I hope he is at least being able to read them so he knows I'm thinking about him...they say no news is good news but I dnt know wat to think wen everybody else is geting letters! This will be week 3 that he's been gone and still no sign of him being ok....=(

Comment by diannep on February 7, 2011 at 8:55am: You all may want to read through some of the PIR groups ahead of you and get info from their comments. 2/11 should be getting I'm a Sailor calls today after this particular group that went last night was delayed from Thurs night (but ladies didn't know that until late Fri night or even Sat, so they were waiting all day Friday for calls!).

So check out PIR 2/11, 2/18, and even 3/4 if you have time.

Comment by diannep on February 7, 2011 at 8:53am: Conster: Hang in there...it is hard when some are receiving mail and others haven't yet...but eventually, the mail and calls come. It will happen! There is no one to contact about it. It is up to the RDCs/recruits when they can write and when they can mail out, and of course up to the RDCs when they can call.

Comment by diannep on February 7, 2011 at 8:51am: Rissysmom: Yes, they can pay for internet after BattleStations, as Jessica said, when at Ricky Heaven having "down" time. So FB messages/email could be read and responded to then!

Comment by Conster1114 on February 7, 2011 at 8:02am: Wow, I haven't received any letters either, except for the form letter we got on Jan. 27th. I thought my daughter would have plenty of time to write home. Has anyone else not gotten any letters from their Recruits? What should I do, if I don't get anything this coming week? And who do I contact about it? Noone has heard from her. Should I be upset? Please, someone, help me get through this.

Comment by poeticfeet6 (Ship 07 DIV 104) on February 7, 2011 at 3:32am: So I have yet to see any letters from my fiance. lol How in the world are you guys getting letters?

Comment by RissysMom(Proud Mom of a Sailor) on February 7, 2011 at 1:56am: Hello everyone, JessicaB-, you mean they might have a chance to check their email, cause I sent one the other day to my daughter...

Comment by cinder on February 7, 2011 at 12:43am: no letter yet glad to hear they are well thanks

Comment by mae_gf on February 6, 2011 at 10:00pm: cinder he said that all of them are good and sometimes feel home sick..did u receive letter from your SR?
