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 beverlymcn (Ship 09 Div 129) on March 2, 2011 at 11:04pm: @gonavy - yes, my son flew out of Richmond on 2/15.

Comment by candy-oh! on March 2, 2011 at 11:03pm: I did, gonavy. My son drove up Sunday the 13th and flew out of Richmond on the 14th. We live in Suffolk.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 2, 2011 at 10:44pm: It is so great to hear you all are getting letters. Time for the HaPpY dAnCe lol. For those on the East coast and further south Thursday seems to be the GREAT day for receiving letters so hang in there. Hopefully you will get one tomorrow.

Comment by Tatia on March 2, 2011 at 10:39pm: I received my letter from my daught. It made me laugh and then cry. She didn't get the letters we sent last week so I hope she gets them Sunday. I am so excited . She seems to be doing good. She has made us very proud of her I tell everyone around me about her. I'm sure they are sick of hearing about her at work.But oh well

Comment by beverlymcn (Ship 09 Div 129) on March 2, 2011 at 10:37pm: Candy-oh - our sons must have gone in together. Did your son leave from Fort Lee near Petersburg? If so, I may have a couple of shots with your son in them when they were leaving - also of the swearing in ceremony. Were you there? We're from Fredericksburg.

Comment by candy-oh! on March 2, 2011 at 10:28pm: My husband intercepted the 1:30 am call on the 15th (technically the 16th).

Comment by beverlymcn (Ship 09 Div 129) on March 2, 2011 at 10:12pm: I know....now I can't wait to get off work tomorrow, run home and check the mailbox. Wonder if letter carriers carry mace for crazed moms....used to be for dogs! I haven't talked to Daniel since 2/15 (technically 2/16) when the, "I'm here, all's well, I'll call in 3 weeks," call came in and woke me at 1:15 a.m. I was so groggy that I hardly remember it. My cell phone will be my new best friend for the next few days!!!

Comment by proudnavymom (ship 09 Div 135) on March 2, 2011 at 10:04pm: Aloha all,

I agree w/ Candy-oh! I'm dying to hear from my son as well. Haven't heard from my son since Feb 18th. He called that day and we spoke briefly.

Marilou :(

Comment by Jaimers on March 2, 2011 at 9:00pm: I know what you mean Candy-oh! ..no letter yet for me either,,,, I'm on mail patrol now! Poor mailman, I know his schedule and i see him coming.... I'm usually barreling out of the house..... and he has this frightened look on his face like I'm going to run him over or something....lol (sigh) gonna try to be patient for that long awaited 1st real letter and not to mention that call!

Jaime

Comment by candy-oh! on March 2, 2011 at 7:22pm: Oh, man, yall are killing me!! My son is in Div 130 and I've not had a call or a real letter but it's great to hear you talk about the news your SRs sent. Thanks!!
