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 TropikalParadize on February 25, 2011 at 8:09pm: I cried so hard when I got Max's form letter....I was praying and praying I would get it Tues and it came! I was crying I was so happy I just wanted to get word from him that everything was OK!! Now I can't wait to get letters or calls...on to the next stage! I'm sure that now the first week is over the time will start to go faster!

Comment by Jaimers on February 25, 2011 at 7:51pm: does anyone know yet how many divisions are graduating on 4/15 ?

Comment by Navy Mom on February 25, 2011 at 6:50pm: Thanks Lala Ribbon Queen. It's always nice to know you're not alone. :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 25, 2011 at 6:17pm: Anthony's Proud Mom- Can we believe it? YES, of course we can believe it lol. I don't think there are very many mom's, wives, GF, etc that don't cry with that letter and probably every other one of them too lol.

Comment by Navy Mom on February 25, 2011 at 2:55pm: Just got a call from my daughter who is at home. "THE LETTER" finally came! :) YEAH!!! He even got to write a short note along with it. And can you believe it, it made me cry! I swear I have never been this emotional in my life! Thanks to everyone for their support and messages. It really does help a lot! He is on Ship 2 Div 922. Anyone else with the same address?

Comment by diannep on February 25, 2011 at 1:38pm: Anthony'sMom: Is there anyone else who could have received the form letter from your SR? Sometimes we find out on here that a bf, gf, other parent, etc received the letter. They can only send out one.

If that is not the case, then yours is coming! Just know that your SR is being taken care of, provided for, and watched over....hopefully that will help a little bit, even though it is so hard emotionally for family members (especially MOMS) when they are in bootcamp. Hoping that your letter comes in soon!
