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 Bren's Mom (Andrea) on March 25, 2010 at 2:55pm: Hello All! I havent been near the computer for days but I have been thinking about everyone. I can see I have alot of reading to do on here so I can get caught up on what's new . We did get a second call from Bren on Sunday & his chest cold sounded worse. He said everyone has had it. He had 1 hour for his phone calls but only spent 15 minutes talking so someone else could use the phone. Bren mentioned the long lines that were formed waiting to use one of the few phones ... I hope you mothers waiting for a call finally got one!!

Comment by Sue(Daniel's Mom) on March 25, 2010 at 12:32pm: Division 160 -Got two letters today and Daniel sounded good. He said he was tired and would be so glad when this "Hell Week" is over. I wish we would get a phone call with more detail than he gives us in his letters. He did say extra phone calls are given depending how well they do as a division. He ended his letters with things are still going good and to keep praying.

Comment by Zacsmom88 on March 25, 2010 at 10:43am: Hank- I agree, this is ridiculous!! It's killin' me too :( Not knowing isn't good for me.... Maybe, maybe, maybe tonight is THE night!!! Keep in touch !(you're DIV 161 too, right ?!)

Comment by Hank(Ship04Div161) on March 25, 2010 at 9:51am: No call in Jersey last night either. Hopefully we'll at least get a letter today. I know that "no news is good news" butthis is rediculous. My last letter from Mike said that he was doing well,"I haven't gotten in trouble once". And that the RDCs were just starting to remember his name.

Comment by Zacsmom88 on March 25, 2010 at 9:13am: sailormom-cathie- Your son sounds eactly like mine! I work for a dentist, o I knew what was coming and my son does NOT handle THAT type of pain either. We need to find each other at PIR for sure!!! My son said he had 3 day of bed rest....I hope that doesn't mess with his PIR date or anything??!! Nooo call here last ight either :( Did get a letter though. Sounded good other then the teeth pulling. He's looking forward to the end. Also said he talked to the chief re his job and him and another guy intheir DIV (161) got the language they wanted...Chinese!! Ship out on 4/21 to Monterey, CA for school for 1 yr. 8mos.

Comment by yozoo on March 24, 2010 at 10:30pm: My sons Wisdom teeth were pulled 2 weeks ago ship 13 div 156,PIR 4/16/10 he didn't need them out, and he did get to call me 2 days later, they get light duty the 2nd day and back up to full on the third day!! my son also said they gave him pain meds, he had all 4 teeth cut out, he made it just fine!!! Marching was tough,and so was running, but he was able to get through. Stay positive its almost over!!!!!

Comment by sailormom-cathie on March 24, 2010 at 9:36pm: Zacsmom88, still nothing here either, If they pulled my son's teeth he would be sooooo miserable, he does not handle those things well, so I am very concerned about him, especially with this being Hell week on top of it and not being able to call home , this week (excuse my language) sucks.
