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 Stephanie-Sub-Wife on April 13, 2010 at 11:18am: THIRTEEN DAYS UNTIL THE PARKING PASSES FOR OUR PIR DATE ARE AVAILABLE FOR PRINTING :-D I am getting driven, BUT it is still exciting that we will be able to print our parking passes!!!!! It's almost here!

Comment by Stephanie-Sub-Wife on April 13, 2010 at 11:15am: Sandy I received several letters yesterday. They are still doing well, they have had a few extra IT sessions because the girls won't stop talking... They took their seamen ship test and learned all about fire extinguishing and tying knots. They are doing great and the time is beginning to pass quickly! the letters were dated from 6 APRIL 2010, but post marked 9 April 2010

Comment by Libby(CJs Mom) on April 12, 2010 at 12:55pm: I inadvertently clicked my bookmark to the RTC website's "Upcoming Graduations" page. We are now in the middle of the list. I looked at the May 27th PIR list and remembered how we felt that first week after our son left. It is really surprising how fast the time is going (and how slow it still goes at other times).

They put up a "Military Wall of Honor" at his high school honoring graduates who have gone on to serve in any branch of the military. I took a picture this weekend of his name in the Navy section to send to him. Just another reminder that what he is doing is important to a lot of people back home.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 11, 2010 at 5:49pm: I know I am so excited as well.:)

Comment by navywife10 on April 11, 2010 at 1:45pm: it makes it so much better when it's said like that, only 3 more sunday's...I tell people that we have 26 days and they are like "thats like forever away" to me 26 days seems better than saying 4 weeks :) I am so excited and can't wait!!!

Comment by Stephanie-Sub-Wife on April 11, 2010 at 12:36pm: Three Sundays remaining until we see our sailors :-D and 26 short days.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 10, 2010 at 12:09pm: I wish it was may. Why is april dragging?

Comment by Stephanie-Sub-Wife on April 9, 2010 at 9:25pm: Primary fitness assessment? I think

Comment by CorinneL on April 9, 2010 at 9:00pm: I feel the same way. It's nice to get a letter and a phone call but I can't wait to wrap my arms around my kid! I'm so proud of him, I could just burst!
