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 gaylemm on February 23, 2011 at 9:36pm: The letter was in the mail :) And the "box" was sitting by the door.

Comment by nycnative12/ProudparentHMSR on February 23, 2011 at 9:19pm: Jamie, my daughter took her ss card also and she got to keep it bit they did not let her keep her watch. The formal letter came yesterday, since they got to write letters on Sunday. So you should be getting you letter soon. Keep your head up.

Comment by Jaimers on February 23, 2011 at 5:27pm: Thank you...Suzy...

Im going to get used to the "Hurry up and wait " ....:)

Comment by Jaimers on February 23, 2011 at 5:22pm: Thank you Gaylemm.....did the letter come in the box or separately ?

Jaime

Comment by gaylemm on February 23, 2011 at 5:19pm: Jaime(JazziesMom), My son arrived at BC on the 16th.I received his letter and box yesterday. I think a lot depends on how far you live from G.L. Fed Ex usually takes a week so you should be getting it today or tomorrow! Her PIR should be the 15th. I don't know if they will have Graduations on the Holiday weekend.

Comment by Jaimers on February 23, 2011 at 5:18pm: was pacing around the house happend to look out the front door and screamed!

the box was sitting at the front door. just looked thru it....smelled just like my dau!

everything came back except for her drivers license, and 1 500min phone card,atm card...(those are the only things she was able to keep)

they even sent her social sec. card back...(Is that typical?) was the form letter suppose to be in the box or does it come separately?...Im so sad to see the box just missed her more....

Thank you Anthony'sMom.. im glad im here and other moms can relate :)

Comment by Navy Mom on February 23, 2011 at 5:01pm: Jaime(JazziesMom) I feel your pain. I also have read where others who left the same day as my son have received their letters and I'm still waiting. I've been told "that's the name of the game", WAITING! I don't much care for this game though. Hang in there.

Comment by Jaimers on February 23, 2011 at 4:46pm: ugh...been lurking around the site...i have a 50/50 chance she will PIR on 4/15 or 4/22 ....Im so anxious to get her info...seems like everyone ive seen that had a SR leave on 2/16 already received their form letters... im feeling left out....
