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 Ragdollrae HM A school SA on February 25, 2011 at 6:29pm: MommaSeal - Love it! That is classic... If that were true, I would join the Navy!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 25, 2011 at 6:25pm: MomaSeal, your son is a riot. It is so good to hear he is so upbeat this early in the journey.

I saw someone posted that they posted on facebook for their SR's friends to send letters. That is awesome. I did that as well. Just make sure you post on there that they cannot send musical cards or care packages. :-)

Comment by Riptide11/128 on February 25, 2011 at 6:14pm: :-( ....nope, no letter from mine yet either. I put another one in the box though and watched for that flag to get put down..... nope, nothing yet..maybe tomorrow!

Comment by jim'scupcake on February 25, 2011 at 6:10pm: mumzipooh~I think you are right~it sounded so good when I presented it...but that was when I thought dad might get to the mail first...now I think it will be me, and I dont know how/what i would do with a letter staring me in the face! Luckily, we work at the same place, although hubby is usually "out in the field". "Oh, please come tomorrow little letter...when we are both home!!"

Comment by Momto2sailors(ship 09, div 125) on February 25, 2011 at 6:09pm: my son is ship 09 division125 .... no letters yet

Comment by mumziepooh on February 25, 2011 at 5:52pm: hahahaha MamaSeal! Love it! What a dreamer......

Jimscupcake - I would break that pact in a heartbeat!

Keep telling me what those boys say since my son told me he is sleeping when he is horizontal!

Comment by Ladybug<3 on February 25, 2011 at 5:45pm: MamaSeal- hahaha that is so funny!! :) Thanks for sharing it with us!!

Comment by jim'scupcake on February 25, 2011 at 5:27pm: So excited to read about those who have received letters...that is such good news. We are on the West Coast...seems we were a few days behind with form letter and box. Hopefully tomorrow~that is assuming he wrote to us. Hubby and I made a pact to only open letters if we are together...wow..if I get the mail and cant open it for several hours...tht might just be the end of me!! Again...YEAH!!! for those who have had a letter arrive!!!

Comment by MamaMia on February 25, 2011 at 5:26pm: Thought you'd all appreciate my son's opening line: Every night we have to get an hour long massage and it is hard to squeeze in any letter time between the five course meals and the bubble baths. Of course there is always cocktail hour, but it would be rude to the attending females to ignore their company as they are taking time out of their busy modeling schedules to lift the morale of us strapping young recruits...Ha! He wishes!!

Comment by Ragdollrae HM A school SA on February 25, 2011 at 5:23pm: Just got back in town. No letter yet. Maybe, just maybe the mailman hasn't made it here today yet. You all are so fortunate and Mumz wins the prize for getting o talk to her son soooo much! I am so jealous, but extrememly happy for you!
