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 sailormom_jentkd (Ship4 DIV 162) on March 18, 2010 at 4:22pm: Carolyn LOL.. I love the chocolate bar comment :) THANKS!!

Comment by Sue(Daniel's Mom) on March 18, 2010 at 2:54pm: One more comment about Hell Week. I think it is somewhat like their first week at BC. They will have a test on Monday 3/22/10 (written) and then they will have to do things as a team, personal inspections, division inspections and so on. Also, not much sleep. It could be another 40 hours without sleep. That is continuous sleep. Hope we get more information about it in our next letter.

Comment by Sue(Daniel's Mom) on March 18, 2010 at 2:49pm: Hello Everyone, I need to correct something from my earlier post. Next week beginning 3/21/10 is Hell Week. I read Daniel's letter for the third time and realized I made the mistake of thinking this was the tough week. Daniel is Div. 160 Ship 13. When he called on Monday evening he told us then that Hell Week would be next week and when I read the letter I misread. Our prayers are for all the sailor recruits at BC. So thanks to all of you who are there with us and know that we pray for all of you and your loved ones.

Comment by sailormom_jentkd (Ship4 DIV 162) on March 18, 2010 at 1:58pm: Zacsmom88 Thanks we appreciate it!

Comment by Zacsmom88 on March 18, 2010 at 1:57pm: jentkd- I'm glad for your call, but sad your son sounded depressed...I will pray his spirits are "lifted" this week :) I'm sure it will get better!!

Comment by sailormom-cathie on March 18, 2010 at 1:29pm: Congratulations Sue, we will pray for all our loved ones and each other during this difficult time, wish I knew what they do to call it Hell Week.

Comment by Zacsmom88 on March 18, 2010 at 1:05pm: Sue, what DIV is your son in?? I'm praying for all !!

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on March 18, 2010 at 12:41pm: Screeminmomma. Thanks for the questionaire. I copy it and personalized it for my son and sent it out. Can't wait to hear from him.

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on March 18, 2010 at 12:39pm: Sue I will keep the prayers coming.

Comment by Sue(Daniel's Mom) on March 18, 2010 at 12:35pm: We just got our second letter and Daniel sounded great. He wanted to thank everyone for all the prayers and said "keep em coming". This is Hell Week and he said they needed a lot of prayers. The letter was short this time as he said things are pretty repetitive but that would change. Next letter should have more detail. Lots of great people in his division. I wish he had expressed a little more about how they are coming together as a team and may be this is the week that it happens. God Bless all of you and your families.
