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 Ladybug<3 on February 26, 2011 at 12:47am: still waiting for a letter, but I know that it wont be for a another few days yet for me. and I am doing ok since, like mumziepooh, I got to talk to my SR a few times, so I already feel lucky! I do like reading how everyone is starting to recieve their letters and what they are saying. It's good to hear good things coming from them!

Comment by mumziepooh on February 26, 2011 at 12:22am: My son told me that he got a bunch of letters last night and he is plodding thru them. He said the other guys were jealous and to keep them coming. Momma2 - I think you said what I feel. I am not upset that he hasn't written me - he told me he hadn't. I honestly didn't expect it - I know this boy! I talked to him and that is really all that matters - he is happy and doing well. Nothing else has changed.

Comment by Jajajo on February 25, 2011 at 10:46pm: got 2 letters from my daughter the first one 7 pages! YAAYY!!:) She sounds good, she loves the dessert cart especially the snickers and ice cream but is also eating her fruits and vegetables. She said she loved the first mail call when they kept calling her name over and over again :) She talked about the first night being up for 30 hours :( She talked about her daily routine starting at 530 am. She's in 1 of the only 2 co-ed divisions with 88 SR's in it and her division is the only sponsored one. She talked about the "team" concept and the intense PT . She's made a lot of friends and should be calling next week and she loved me verrry much, what a happy end to my week :)

Comment by MamaMia on February 25, 2011 at 10:30pm: Yes, it was very refreshing to see that handwriting in my mailbox today! I really hope the rest of you get mail soon!! I don't want to post much on here, as I hear the RCT's read these posts and don't want any reprecussions on the SR's. All in all-they are fed well, get almost enough sleep and are learning to clean, sew buttons, polish shoes, and make beds, so when they come home to us, we can put our feet up and relax, right ladies??? ;-)

Comment by Riptide11/128 on February 25, 2011 at 9:51pm: mamaseal....I thought I'd die when I read what your son wrote. What an wonderful sense of humor!! I'm sure he never, in his wildest dreams, thought so many people would get to truly appreciate that. Thanks so much for sharing!

Denise...y'all...well, you are just a love. You surely are! (((HUGS)))

To you all who got letters and are feeling so much better, oh gosh , I'm just so happy for you. How very relieved you all must be. Yes, you knew they were okay, but hearing something from them just verifies that, doesn't it?

To those who didn't receive letters today...I'm mourning right alongside y'all, but sincerely hopeful that we will get our letters soon. May they be every bit as uplifting as we need them to be! ((((((HUGS)))))) to my sweet Navy moms!

Comment by ntz4laa (HM Mom) on February 25, 2011 at 9:23pm: No letters here yet, either. :( Maybe tomorrow!

Comment by Bebe on February 25, 2011 at 8:33pm: No letter today : ( ...checked with the girlfriend-none either. Hopefully this weekend...

But I did mail another letter today.

Comment by jim'scupcake on February 25, 2011 at 7:53pm: Our letter arrived too! I "kind of" kept to the pact...called hubby told him to pull over and i would read it (if that was ok with him...and it was!). SR sounds really really good, eating fruits and veggies (maybe a 1st), excited about do all the different things for training..feeling up and positive! Yeah!!! I am so proud and happy!! He will make a wonderful Sailor!!!

Comment by Cheryl on February 25, 2011 at 7:52pm: So happy for all of you who received letters. My letter was the very best thing that has ever come through the mail.

Comment by Cheryl on February 25, 2011 at 7:50pm: MamaSeal-What I meant was he must make you laugh with his sense of humor. It's great that he has one going through BC. It will definitely help him along the way. Glad you got your letter. It is definitely uplifting!:)
