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( Mrs. Davis) on April 2, 2010 at 10:34pm: Congratulations to everyone who received calls or letters. I hope everyone's sailors are doing good:)

Comment by mvpmom on April 2, 2010 at 8:42pm: I think I know what you are saying and yes the calls could be delayed:( That is so great he got your letters. They must be so busy because i'll bet your letters are so important to him! I send one a day and I found out my letter skills need work. This will do it. It's stormy here today and the manager at our Walgreens is from your town. When I met him I thought of you. I'll let you know more as we hear. Thanks for your info!

Comment by Cassandra Rose on April 2, 2010 at 8:31pm: Haha well he said they had a special bond with their RDC's despite all the insane old school-ness because they could tell they really love their job and care about them succeeding as recruits, and he felt like other divisions weren't so lucky... their RDC's just make it a little harder than most on them haha :) (explains the no calls and not much time for letter writing). He said he got my letters on Saturday the 27th but only had time to read one (poor guy I've sent him one or two EVERY DAY! haha).

Comment by mvpmom on April 2, 2010 at 8:10pm: Hey Sailor'sGirl13, I'm so happy for you and Thanks for sharing. My daughter scanned her letter and the envelope it was so exciting. He said the days are long and he's got the best RTC in Chicago! Funny after what your guy said. I'm guessing mine likes yelling.lol Did your Sailor say anything about your letters?

Comment by Cassandra Rose on April 2, 2010 at 7:07pm: MVPmom we should compare notes! I got a few letters from my fiance today too :)

Comment by mvpmom on April 2, 2010 at 6:39pm: Good News my daughter just recieved our Saloirs first letter!!!! Ship 12 Div 184! They are coming!!!

Comment by Mo on April 2, 2010 at 5:22pm: Happy days I finally got a letter from my son. It was less than 50 words and believe it or not he sounded happy.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 2, 2010 at 4:26pm: SailorsGirl13-Yes, I have been very lucky to receive phone calls and I'm sorry you haven't. Today I had this feeling I was going to get mail so I rushed home to get NOTHING. But, like I said i'm going to stay strong and hope for tomorrow. I hope hear something soon:)

Comment by Cassandra Rose on April 2, 2010 at 3:59pm: Keep the faith ladies! I have yet to receive any phone calls (other than the initial "I'm here & safe") OR letters. Same with all of the loved ones in my fiance's division. We'll get the letters soon :) But I hear you on the mailbox anticipation... get so worked up just to be let down with a mailbox full of bills and junk mail hah. Soon.... :)

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 2, 2010 at 1:58pm: No I am not. I'll join. I got off work and rushed home thinking there would be mail since it's been so long but, maybe tomorrow. Thanks. I hope you atleast have some in yours. I guess I can't be too picky since I've got four phone calls but, Ive been writing him everyday and the phone calls aren't very long. Lets hope for tomorrow:)
