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 Deanna_H_Proud_FC2's_Mom on February 27, 2010 at 2:15pm: Mardee, My son is on Ship 06. But, he's in a different Div. I haven't gotten to be here much this week. (Been one of those kind of weeks!) Hope you get a letter and call this weekend! (me too!) I wanted to go to the movies today with friends, but, thought, "ah, maybe not, Andrew might get to make his first phone call today!" Hope you all have a great weekend. Just think, we're that much closer to PIR!

Comment by mardee5 on February 27, 2010 at 2:15pm: You are such a god send. You have helped me so much since I came here. May God bless you in a special way. Is it o.k. if I mention the site to my son in a letter so that if wants he can tell his division mates to tell their parents about the site when they write to them?

Comment by mardee5 on February 27, 2010 at 1:57pm: I am starting to think that my son is the only person on his ship. : ) I did find another mom whose child is going to A school for MAA. I know that the division is small but the ship should be large. I hope he isn't alone as that would mean that they have all the time in the world to beat up on him. : ) Is there anyone out there who has a child who is in ship 06. From my understanding the ship is the building and the division is their immediate group. Anyone else out there who has a child on ship 06 and/or division 152?

Comment by TexasBonBon on February 27, 2010 at 11:05am: hey, Mikesmom, we meet again, same here except we did hear from him because he needed additional information for security clearance purposes, no letter but the little note at the bottom of form letter sent last week. have house phone calls forwarded to cell phone, because cell phones cannot take a collect call and since he left without a phone card he won't get the one we sent for a while and I didn't want to miss that first collect call home! taking son's wife shopping in a little while, so pray that I don't throttle her! I don't think my son would like it if I did that. for some reason he is fond of her...

Comment by stlrgrl59 Sailor Mom on February 26, 2010 at 7:40pm: Nicole, you will get your letters soon....sometimes they are just so busy there is no time. And I only got a call b/c she needed security info faxed over to them that she didn't have. So you will hear soon

Comment by MomMom on February 26, 2010 at 2:17am: Got a letter today - so did his sisters and brother - long ones too. He sounds like he's doing great. No regrets. Sure makes me feel better.

Comment by Laura on February 25, 2010 at 10:54pm: Tina I just saw where she is. No need to tell me. Thanks.

Comment by Laura on February 25, 2010 at 10:54pm: I have been reading some of these and my daughter was a little sick also from the shots she was receiving. Actually she said it was mostly the H1N1 Iin the nose. I wouldn't like to get all those shots. I give all those kids credit on doing what they are doing. She is also doing well according to her one letter I have received. It makes me feel alot better and I beleive her. She said they are nice as long as you do what you are told. She called the other day and said inspection was this week. I'm sure she passed it. I agree with you HaTina, she is going to be fine. What ship and division is your daughter in? Mine is 03/147.
