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 Troy's Mom Ship 03/Div 146 on March 3, 2010 at 12:07am: I'll keep my fingers crossed for a letter SOON. Sometimes it takes a while for mail to get to my small corner of the state, not sure about where you live. Positive thoughts going out to you!!!! :D

Comment by GANavyMom on March 2, 2010 at 11:51pm: Hi Troy's Mom - How exciting! Nothing yet, but I keep checking :)

Comment by Troy's Mom Ship 03/Div 146 on March 2, 2010 at 11:47pm: Troy sounded good! He was so positive. Not sad or depressed (I had been preparing myself for those things). He said he was done with processing, food was good - better than he expected - they got more time to eat than he expected, too. He said he misses everyone and can't wait to get phone privileges. Yes, Indeed - AT THE MAILBOX is SOOOOO right!!! LOL My youngest son was in the car with me and I was whooping and hollaring - bouncing up and down in the car, crying happy tears. My youngest son, Joseph, was laughing with me and AT me, too! My good mood lasted all thru the day today, too.

GANavyMom - anything today?

Comment by sailorsgirl on March 2, 2010 at 9:46pm: Thanks... Still learning the site :)

Comment by GANavyMom on March 2, 2010 at 9:45pm: Amanda - check the discussion forums. There is one just for 4/808 (click on "view all" if you don't see it).

Comment by GANavyMom on March 2, 2010 at 9:43pm: My stepson is in the same.

Comment by sailorsgirl on March 2, 2010 at 9:38pm: Hey guys!! I am just wondering who all is with my boyfriend. Just would like to know who is with him. I know of a couple people on here just wondering if there is anyone else. He is on Ship04 DIV808. :)

Comment by GANavyMom on March 2, 2010 at 9:20pm: We should keep in mind that they are probably exhausted and they are from a generation of text messaging and cell phones, not letter writing!

Comment by sailorsgirl on March 2, 2010 at 9:16pm: I am ready for a call! Can't wait to hear from him! Letters are great but it would be nice just to hear his voice!
