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 Cheryl on February 24, 2011 at 10:26pm: Denise, how wonderful to receive a phone call. That is a blessing! We received our first letter today. Our son has been sick, but apparently that hasn't otherwise affected his PIR date. Hoping for letters and phone calls for everyone!

Comment by Debi (Ship 9 Div 126) on February 24, 2011 at 10:22pm: Denise, I am so happy that you were able to get a phone call from your son! And I know their letters will be coming soon : )

Comment by Debi (Ship 9 Div 126) on February 24, 2011 at 10:18pm: My son is Ship 9 Div 126 also and we haven't recieved any letters from him yet, - thanks, My heart is in Boot Camp, for the info about the letters, We have decided to stay at the Navy Lodge, It is only 1 1/2 miles away, Haven't decided on a flight yet though

Comment by ntz4laa (HM Mom) on February 24, 2011 at 9:41pm: I just read a post from the official RTC poster on the RTC FB page that states "The recruits are able to write the first Sunday they are in their ships. This does not include their in-processing days." So, our SRs should have been able to write last Sunday ~ letters please!
