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 ILNavyMom2010 on March 30, 2010 at 4:38pm: What is a peanut butter shot?

Comment by debyar63 on March 30, 2010 at 3:59pm: Hello everyone. Well, it has been 2 weeks since my son left. I find myself wondering everyday what he is doing. I am really hoping that he can call my daughter-in-law on Easter. I am anxious to hear an update on him. I think that has been the hardest thing - not being able to pick up the phone and call or text him anytime I wanted. But, fortunately 2 weeks down already.

Comment by missnmybaby on March 30, 2010 at 3:48pm: Karla=) I've read on here that when they extract their wisdom teeth, they give them 2 days in bed with pain meds to recover.....and the recruits love it! They get 2 days off:) I bet my son will have to have his taken out, too.
How old is Destiny?

Comment by CootieBug on March 30, 2010 at 3:10pm: wade142 - Hi! What's your daughter's first name and age? There are a number of other moms on here with daughters in Ship 14 Div 188.

Comment by NavyWife10 on March 30, 2010 at 12:47pm: Well, getting the form letter in yesterday with my husbands little note at the end had my hopes up for a letter today.. nothing though :( I miss my husband so much it hurts. I'm ready for this to be over with :-/

Comment by Navy4my2 on March 30, 2010 at 9:22am: My daughter is Ship 14 DIV 188 Her Grad date is 5/14 as well! So glad to have found you!!! She arrived 3/23 to RTC

Comment by mrthlap on March 29, 2010 at 6:58pm: Hi everyone - my son Rob got to bootcamp on 3/22 - Ship 14 Div 187, with a PIR date of 5/14.

Comment by Arwen on March 29, 2010 at 6:57pm: BAH is more unpredictable. I've heard some get it in their first paycheck, some get it between paychecks, and others it has taken a month or two. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

Comment by NavyWife10 on March 29, 2010 at 4:53pm: Also, one other question for Arwen, we will get bah, so will that be deposited in with his first check also ?

Comment by NavyWife10 on March 29, 2010 at 4:52pm: My husband got to bc on 3/22. He's in Ship 04 DIV 811.. PIR-5/14. I can't wait to see him!!!!!!!!!
