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 SAFutureFC~ship 12, div 181~ on March 27, 2010 at 10:29pm: Recruits are allowed to send letters they write on Sundays for the first few weeks only, then after about 3 or 4 weeks they are allowed to send letter on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so you all should be receiving mail on or about the same day each week.
The phone calls they are allowed to make are scheduled by the RDC's and is when they are able to get the phone room set aside for their division. Some times brother div's will call on the same day but sometimes not.
Numbering is a very good idea. I personally received a piece of mail like 2 weeks later if not more b/c they wrote "asmo" on it, meaning i got sent back for some reason, which i wasn't. I also had a friend who just received a letter his grandmother sent while he was in boot, we graduated in Nov!!

Comment by AlyciasMom on March 27, 2010 at 10:20pm: What I got from her letters was that they had not yet gotten any mail because they did not have a mail petty officer and they are in the process of hiring one. No mail until they get a mail petty officer. However; my daughter did mention that they were told that there was mail received.

Comment by Stephanie-Sub-Wife on March 27, 2010 at 9:39pm: jmk2368 did your daughters letters allude to weather or not they received our letters? It seems like we are both getting everything the same days. Except for that phone call, but he said he only got that because he said he didn't get through when he called his 'next of kin' to say he arrived saftely.

Comment by Teacher Mom_Ship12Sailor on March 27, 2010 at 8:09pm: Same here Mom2sailorsX3..our son also said he is not into writing...I still have hope that I will get a few though :)

Comment by CorinneL on March 27, 2010 at 8:05pm: No letters for us yet either. Our son is in 183. Hopefully, we'll get one this coming week.

Comment by RobinM on March 27, 2010 at 7:38pm: No letters yet...still waiting!! Trying to be patient. I keep sending mine everyday and keep them numbered so he knows what order I sent them in case they don't get to him in the order I sent them.

Comment by mvpmom on March 27, 2010 at 7:36pm: Letters? Did anybody in get a letter in division 184? Besides the form letter?

Comment by AlyciasMom on March 27, 2010 at 4:40pm: Wow SC720 awesome!!!! I got 3. I have 2 daughters, the eldest at boot camp and the youngest a senior in high school. She didn't get a letter today, so she was really upset.
