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."

We have a SR in my son's division that hasn't gotten a letter yet! I'm on a campain to get this young man as many letters as possible! I guess their divison is having a contest to see who has the most letters at the end of basic. I think it would be great if the so far letterless SR won! Friend me and message me if you would like to join the letter campain.

Thanks!!!

Comment by wsubmariner(ship 11 DIV 121) on February 26, 2011 at 4:22pm: I'm sure that as anxious about getting letters we are, our Sr's are just as anxious at mail call. LOL = )

Comment by justin'smom on February 26, 2011 at 4:11pm: Well... no letter today. We can look forward to the mail delivery on Monday! I have never before been so anxious to get the mail! LOL!

Comment by Debi (Ship 9 Div 126) on February 26, 2011 at 1:05pm: Just checked the mail- No letter , Hopefully next week, Good to hear that other div are starting to get theirs

Comment by ntz4laa (HM Mom) on February 26, 2011 at 11:56am: Yeah! Glad you got a letter, ProudNavySister. I think that's the first one received for div 125. Hopefully Kimberly and I will get one today. I still have 4 or 5 hours before the mail comes.

Comment by Debi (Ship 9 Div 126) on February 26, 2011 at 10:55am: My son is ship 9 div 126 and I haven't recieved a letter yet either, hopefully today

Comment by justin'smom on February 26, 2011 at 10:35am: I'm hoping to get a letter today, too! I have enjoyed reading all the posts from the letters everyone has received so far! It is encouraging to see that all of the kids seem to be doing well - and they still have their sense of humor!
Everyone from ship 9 div.125 - hopefully our letters will arrive soon!

Comment by ProudNavySister on February 26, 2011 at 9:56am: Hope we get a letter today! And as far as getting in trouble for receiving too many letters, we sent my other brother (the one who graduated last week) so many letters. He said he couldn't keep up and was feeling guilty because he didn't have time to write everyone, but he never got in trouble for too many letters :) and he also said it gave him something to look forward to everyday, so I'm doing the same for this brother.

Comment by MamaMia on February 26, 2011 at 7:38am: Yes, my son actually is pretty funny, and he's always been a writer of short stories and he writes songs and plays them on the guitar-guess he won't be doing that for awhile! I'm really glad I have his videos to watch now and then of his songs. And you're right, for those that don't have 'writers' in BC, you will know by the things we hear that all is well. Mine said they are forming strong bonds and learning to become a solid unit...it just takes awhile when 80 of them all have to do the same tasks. And as for showers, he said privacy is gone!!
