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."

Lovnlife4ever im thinkn the same thing both of are loved ones are in the same ship/div and there is also another mom on here and neither of us have recieved a letter yet!! and because of this storm im starting to think if that is also holding our mail up...i live in buffalo,ny and everything is up and running and the streets are cleared but i know that its really bad in chicago!! hopefully by saturday we will have somthing...im stayin with my gma for a while so everyday i drive 40min to go home to see if I have a letter and there has been nothing =( just gotta keep prayin...its sad that some of the SR are tryna take advantage of the lil bit of freedom that they are geting hopefully they learn and can make up for it...better they learn now then mess up wen its close to PIR that wouldnt have been good at all!!

Sorry to read of the ones who snuck out and caused the whole division to pay the price.  Very sad.  But they learn!  By punishing the whole division, not just the ones who did it, it's a lesson for all for anyy future disobedience....my son's division had to do IT for 2 hours one time when he was in bc...because of what one SR did.  That SR had to sit in the middle of the room and watch THEM do the IT....my son said that the SR ended up in tears because everyone else was exhausted doing IT for what HE did.  It works....we all know life isn't always fair! I'm thinking that the division has learned a wonderful lesson and will get it all together now.

navymalespouse:  They usually complete the form letter during the first week they are there, but nothing is written in stone!  Glad you got it!
Comment by navymalespouse on February 3, 2011 at 5:31pm
I got my form letter today! My wife shipped out 1/18.  Does anybody know when the note on the bottom was written.  Was that recent or during the first week? thank you.

According to mr SRs recruiter, the only other "required" phone call is the "I made it to graduation" call after Battlestations :(  Hopefully, they gain their priveleges back before then :(
Comment by NavyMomAllison (PIR 3/18) on February 3, 2011 at 5:22pm

Div 918...heard they snuck "extra" phone calls.  Likely when they were making their TS calls.  Just a bummer for the rest of the division.  Lesson learned is that their actions effected their entire ship....and their loved ones :(

Comment by cinder on February 3, 2011 at 5:20pm
I thought we weren't going to get a call until the 3rd week.
Comment by cinder on February 3, 2011 at 5:17pm
It's snowing  and freezing outside!  Was it they snuck to the phones?
