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 Zacsmom88 on March 24, 2010 at 3:41pm: My son is Ship 4 DIV 161....STILL NO call !!! His letter, however, said that he got his WT out last week, that was the reason for no call apparently ??? Now I REALLY feel bad :( HOPEFULLY today is the day !! Anyone else from DIV 161 ?

Comment by Sailor Garrett's Mom DIV 158 on March 24, 2010 at 3:12pm: Everyone go check your mailboxes, I got two letters today. They must have held the letter from last week because it was dated March 14th. My son didn't say anything about it in this weeks letter. Well, they have been going through alot of inspections and have passed them all. He did say they are now wearing their dress blues which goes with what we found out on here the other day. I am hoping to get that next call any day here.

Comment by Becky (J's Mom) on March 23, 2010 at 9:00pm: My son said he's been getting our letters in 4 days.
I have ordered shirts for our family from cafepress.com. We will probably wear them to the Meet and Greet, or after PIR.

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on March 23, 2010 at 12:27pm: They told us that the mail take 5 to 10 days to reach the recruits so I wouldn't mail anything after April 6 to be on the safe side. I do know that our letters from Montana are reaching Logan in 5 days.

Comment by Sailor Garrett's Mom DIV 158 on March 23, 2010 at 12:23pm: One more question for the group - our Recruits have a little over three weeks before PIR, I was wondering when we should mail out last letter so it is guaranteed to reach them before they leave GL? If anyone knows, let us know.

Thanks Logan's Mom! I will check out this website. I also thought about having one custom made at a t-shirt shop.

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on March 23, 2010 at 12:08pm: Garrett's Mom, I thought this website had some decent items. Check it out if you haven't already. http://shop.cafepress.com/navy-mom

Comment by Sailor Garrett's Mom DIV 158 on March 23, 2010 at 11:54am: When my son called almost two weeks ago, he told his girlfriend that they are wearing White so I am going to ask him again when he calls next. I have been searching for a Navy Mom t-shirt but haven't found anything I like yet. Has anyone found a great website for these items?

Comment by yozoo on March 22, 2010 at 7:57pm: Ship 13 div 156 My son Vincent called me yesterday!!! I was so happy! I was able to ask him all the questions I needed answers to!! He sounds amazing he says BC is a lot better!! This ship and div are doing very well thats why I recieved the second call already, they are earning their phones calls!! I am so happy my son is not a grad and go!!!I thought he might want to sleep during Liberty but he wants to get out and see Chicago!!! So very excited hang in there all you BC Mom's its almost over!!

Comment by emma_0077 on March 22, 2010 at 7:41pm: no call yet, but I have my cell phone fully charged and glued to me and I don't even go to the restroom without bringing both my home phone and my cell phone. LOL! I am so anxious to receive his call.

Comment by Roz Phillips on March 22, 2010 at 7:24pm: I tell you I love this site it is full of information but is it just me or is it very confusing??? I had the hardest time finding PIR 4/16/2010. My daughter graduates on this happy, so happy day, may it be here very, very soon. I am also having great conversations with 2/3 other mums (I'm from Britain so this is NOT a spelling mistake) on another discussion site. Please keep talking to me ladies. Anyway. We got a phone call last Monday and here it is this Monday and I have been willing the phone to ring all evening but nothing. Dis anyone get a ca;;?
