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 January 30, 2011 at 2:06pm: another question that i have is yesterday jessica-b sailor mom made a comment about our SR receiving mail she said "they" dnt care what you write as long as its from home who is the "they" she is reffering to... do you mean the SR or their RDC doesnt care....so should all letters they receive have our home address on it or can anybody send them letters as long as they have our SR correct address

Comment by LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 <3 on January 30, 2011 at 2:04pm: hey everyone its good to see that some of us are getting letters...i still havent received one yet =(

Comment by Craig on January 30, 2011 at 1:11pm: Allison - Thanks... You can just pm me the names.

On the below I put:

? = USS xxxxx

?? = USS xxxxx

??? = USS xxxxx

for each of those ships. I can send a larger size, if you pm me your email address. Then you could forward it on....

Comment by NavyMomAllison (PIR 3/18) on January 30, 2011 at 2:27am: Happy to help Craig...will print. Or if you want to email it?

Comment by Craig on January 30, 2011 at 1:20am: For those that have recruits on ship 2. On my slide show I had a map on how the barracks were laid out. However, that drawing was incorrect. My drawing was from a proposed drawing, which actually changed as they made the barrack.

The barracks are actually laid out like the below (from Google Earth). So, if you ask your recruit where is Ship 2 in this picture, I'd appreciate it. Actually, if they can also answer Ship 3, and Ship 4, that would be better. I have label them with ?, ??, ???

Please us the Roosevelt (5) and Contitiution (6) as a reference

Again, thanks for the help, I'm just trying to get the info correct for the next group of recruits and moms....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 30, 2011 at 12:57am: Hi everyone, I wanted to check in real quick and see how everyone is doing. We spent most of the day unpacking and then we went shopping for my sailors new apartment. Got the basics, towels, shower curtain, rugs, a microwave, and groceries. We are totally about to freeze. There is something wrong with the heat in her new apartment. No matter how high we set the furnace we can't get it above 64. Burrrrr. Now I am getting a cold from being so cold all night last night. I guess it will be monday before someone comes to fix it. The good thing is I found lots of supplies for the ribbons I am making fot y'all to wear to PIR. It helps to have so many craft stores near by :-) we are going to Norfolk in the morning to get some pics of the aircraft carriers before we head home. We went to the beach today and tooks pics there too and it was very cold. Of course we went to the NEX and got some cool stickers and pins and sweatshirts. If you ever are the NAS Oceana base in VA beach check it out. It is huge kind of like a mall. Okay time to start working again. Everytime we stop we start freezing again.

Comment by cinder on January 29, 2011 at 10:14pm: You can mail all of the stuff you mentioned.

Comment by wmax33 <Ship 7 Div 108> on January 29, 2011 at 9:59pm: Thank you for your responses. I was meaning more of envelopes, stamps, phone cards, band aids and stuff like that. I can't access the link that shows me what she can get.

Comment by diannep on January 29, 2011 at 9:37pm: Answered you below your last post, wmax..I don't think I would be mailing anything to your recruit right now. She will let you know if she needs something mailed because she will know what she is allowed. But read the other post too below.

Comment by wmax33 <Ship 7 Div 108> on January 29, 2011 at 9:29pm: Can someone please tell me what we are allowed to send to our SR's at bootcamp? I can't seem to access the link her form letter gave me.
