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 denbarb76- Ship 03 Div 146 on March 14, 2010 at 1:48pm: Just checking in to see if anyone received any phone calls this weekend from their recruit with news on how their week went. I haven't left the house all weekend hoping he'd get to call home, I have my cell in one hand and the house phone in the other, my husband thinks I've lost my mind:). I can't wait for 4-9 to reestablish communication;) Although letter writing has afforded us sharing thoughts and feelings in a more concrete format to hold close to all of our hearts, having the ability to read his written words everyday, for that I am thankful.

Comment by stlrgrl59 Sailor Mom on March 14, 2010 at 9:27am: Does anyone know if we buy the pictures @ PIR or do you order them later and then they mail to you or how that works? I can only guess they are very expensive, I was going to just have hers taken where I live but she is Grad N Go so will purchase them from graduation
Thanks

Comment by mardee5 on March 14, 2010 at 12:14am: Hey Jessica, if you stop following with e-mail, will the comments still show up when you go to that group?

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on March 12, 2010 at 5:44pm: Any of you ladies related to the Medical Yeoman for Ship 03 Div 145? My recruit spoke highly of him in his last letter home. No name just the Medical Yeoman. Thought you might like to know that another recruit respects and likes your recruit.

Comment by katendom on March 12, 2010 at 2:13pm: ship 13 div 150??

Comment by mardee5 on March 12, 2010 at 12:18am: Troy's Mom have you called public affairs to see if his ship/division is Grad N Go. I had read to call and I called and they told me he was not. I plan on checking again in a week or so.

Comment by SOalex5708 on March 11, 2010 at 11:40pm: Okay I have a question and hopeully someone who has been in my situation has the answer. My boyfriend goes to BUD/S in June/July and we are planning on getting married. Will I be able to live on base with him in Coronado since we will be married?

Comment by Troy's Mom Ship 03/Div 146 on March 11, 2010 at 11:17pm: No letter from Troy today - but grandma got one (her first) so she was happy. He still sounds very upbeat and positive in his letter to her, but no info about G&G.
We'll just wait and see what he has to say next time he writes or calls. :)

Comment by denbarb76- Ship 03 Div 146 on March 11, 2010 at 11:12pm: Hi Mardee

TJs mom here, he's on Ship 03 Division 146, a grad and go:( His division leaves at 4am on Saturday.

Comment by mardee5 on March 11, 2010 at 10:54pm: Oh by the way, if you have a child/spouse/wife we are starting a group for ship 13 division 152. Those discussions and the replies just jump all over the place. Those that are in our brother/sister ship 13 division 151 please join us too if you don't have one. My son is not a writer, he does write on Sundays but just not enough info so I thought I could get info from others in his area. It just makes the world a little smaller. Like I said, I am going to start that spread sheet this weekend. At first I was lost because I didn't know how to get around, now I am lost because I can't keep up with it all. : )
