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 Peggy G on March 8, 2010 at 10:41am: I am in the same boat. Honestly, if only we could line them up ourselves! It makes you sad, mad and worried. I am thinking no letters until the end of the week if they were written yesterday so hang in there.

Comment by Sue(Daniel's Mom) on March 8, 2010 at 9:45am: Another week. Still no call and no letter. But today will be the day for a letter. I've prayed that we will all hear something today whether it's a letter or phone call and I believe it will happen. Stay strong and as Jessica said.. no news is good news and I'm sure it's killing all of us. God Bless all our kids and us.

Comment by Becky (J's Mom) on March 8, 2010 at 9:13am: I didn't get my call and I cried all night. Keeping positive thoughts, or at least trying to. It will be another long week.

Comment by ER_Nuse32 on March 8, 2010 at 4:13am: Ok keeping my fingers crossed! Letter tomorrow....ugggh

Jessica is right...No news is good news even if it kills us!

Comment by ALOHANAVY on March 7, 2010 at 1:55pm: We got our first letter on Friday, and it was the best letter I ever received, I must've read it 10 times! Our son sounds good, tired but good. Does anyone know when the 1st phone call will come?
