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 ACMRcorpman2013USSBULKELYDDG84 on March 1, 2011 at 9:31pm: I received my first phone call today around 4:30 pm , very short, but she's doing good and I felt her really excited....everything is ok her only complain was that "she didn't sleep to munch".

Comment by TexasSailorMom on March 1, 2011 at 7:36pm: DIV 806 is calling! So good to hear his voice!

Comment by janlee on March 1, 2011 at 7:34pm: runaway--YES...lol this group graduates from Great Lakes Navy Bootcamp on April 1st....youre in the right place. And PIr means Pass in Review (graduation)...:)))

Comment by azjulie (Ship 11, Division 115) on March 1, 2011 at 7:15pm: I spoke my recruit today! It was very short, but he missed the Friday time to call because he was sick and on "bed rest". Therefore, no trips to the phone. He is trudging through so he won't be delayed. Apparently, so far,so good. I was afraid maybe he had run into trouble and lost phone privileges, so I'm happy that's not the case. (Boy, can a mom's mind run wild with possibilities!!) I have been writing at least one letter every day. He said the most recent one he has was dated 2/23. So, it seems it takes a little while for mail to get to him. We have received 2 letters to date--one last Friday and one the previous Thursday. He didn't mention if he wrote again, but a mom can always hope! Oh, and he is very happy that there is only 30 days left! Me, too!!!

Comment by diannep on March 1, 2011 at 6:37pm: janlee: One recruit had told his mom that although they could write certain days, and eventually everyday possibly, they put the mail in a bucket or something and it is only mailed out on certain days. So that might explain the same postmark on letters written at different times.

Comment by chelseag11/117 on March 1, 2011 at 6:25pm: Oh ok. Well I will check on that.

Comment by janlee on March 1, 2011 at 6:21pm: quiltblue--They are able to write on Sundays and the letters usually get sent out mondays. The outgoing mail system in there is kinda goofy. My sons GF would receive a letter, and then the next day,,,she would receive another one, and all the while WE (his parents) didnt receive one until the next week...yet they were all postmarked on the same day!!. Also,,, my sister-in-law (SR's aunt) didnt receive ONE letter from him even though he claimed to had written her four of them. Im not sure if he had the address wrong, but when i checked his address book after PIR, it was correct (unless he wrote it wrong on the envelopes).

So hang in there...you may receive several letters at once..:))

Comment by chelseag11/117 on March 1, 2011 at 6:05pm: Im not sure if hes g&g yet. Well he know at this moment? &i dont remember the name of the sites I just googled some things that I was looking for.
