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 momof6 on February 25, 2010 at 6:55pm: Yeah! Received my son's first letter today. Very heartwarming and reassuring to read his handwriting. Guess what, he's doing great! Not a single complaint! Commented on how busy they are with only a few minutes to get ready or make bed perfectlyor shower and "hygiene" - ha! Getting about 4-6 hours of sleep a night. Also proud to wear a uniform with his last name on it (that really made me smile!). In an integrated unit of males and females. Mentioned getting sick from all the shots and that he will need to get his wisdom teeth pulled. Very upbeat and told me not to worry...how did he know?!! Wanted to make sure I had the right date for graduation on 4/9/10 and asked me to keep the letters coming! What a relief. I'm sure there will be a tough time or two, but sounds like he's handling it well. That's all a mother can hope for!

Comment by SOalex5708 on February 25, 2010 at 3:59pm: I got letters today!!! He has written me almost everyday since he has been gone so there were a lot of letters! :)

Comment by SOalex5708 on February 24, 2010 at 10:36pm: Well hopefully we all get letters within the next couple of days. I just cant wait!

Comment by stlrgrl59 Sailor Mom on February 24, 2010 at 10:31pm: My dtr got to call home only b/c she needed me to fax over info for her security clearance so don't think she is failing at all they only needed more info that she did not have.

Comment by GANavyMom on February 24, 2010 at 10:08pm: Hi SOAlex - No letter for us yet either, hopefully tomorrow. We sent several letters out yesterday.

Comment by SOalex5708 on February 24, 2010 at 10:01pm: My boyfriend is ship 4 division 808 :) everyone else got letters today but i didnt... hopefully one comes tomorrow.

Comment by GANavyMom on February 24, 2010 at 9:18pm: Just officially joined the group, but I have been following for the last week waiting on more information. My stepson is ship 4 Div 808, anyone else?

Comment by stlrgrl59 Sailor Mom on February 24, 2010 at 8:15pm: Got my first letter I guess the first few days were torture....a little scary but slowly getting better told her it's all in the mind and will be worth it once bc is done.
I guess div 147 just got a few letters so far is all but I think now they will start getting all of them. Now praying they get to pir April 9th

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on February 24, 2010 at 6:29pm: Hey EricaRae, some of us did get letters. I'm heading home from work now, trying to beat my husband to them. I see on your profile that you're from Tennessee too. Do you have a son or husband at BC right now? My son is Ship 03 Div 145.
