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 1ProudMomma on April 21, 2011 at 5:21pm: I got a letter yesterday from my SR. It was only a few lines but still, it was good to hear from her. I must have read it a dozen times before I went to bed. She sounded very positve and said that the letters and cards were what was keeping her going. I can't wait to see her at PIR!!!

Comment by Brandis_Mom on April 21, 2011 at 5:10pm: No letter today, but last week I didn't get one on Thurday either, it came on Friday, so I am still holding out and will be watching for the postman tomorrow. But I know in my heart that she is doing well and taking it all in...

Comment by catzmoo on April 21, 2011 at 4:56pm: I got a couple letters today :) my SR mostly talked about how much he loves getting mail and said to keep writing lots. I'm guessing the fact that he didn't have anything bad to say about boot camp means everything is going well for him!

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on April 21, 2011 at 4:33pm: I stopped in to see one of our local recruiters here today. He told me to repeat that no news is good news. (He's a chief and honest with me.) He said if you aren't hearing from your sailors, they haven't earned rights to calls. He even said that they can earn the right and then have it taken away because someone messes up. All have letter writing privileges now. He also said if something is really bad, the Navy will contact you. There's nothing new in any of this, but it bears repeating as I know you're all waiting for calls and letters.

I live in an area that has two recruiting offices plus a reserve center recruiting office. I had a pretty active Navy Families group started several years ago that I'm resurrecting. Even if we do nothing more than go out to dinner once a month, it's a nice support group. I wish some of you lived here!

Comment by Tricsious (07/174) on April 21, 2011 at 3:34pm: I received 3 days of letters today and she said they are getting to write and mail out more often now. This is music to my ears!!! So glad to hear this and makes me feel so much better. Its reassurance that they are progressing!!!

Comment by Tricsious (07/174) on April 21, 2011 at 3:32pm: RauEli~ my dtr hurt her knee earlier on and was on LLD. She has had problems with bone abnormalities that we never knew about and have been worried about the same thing! The knee healed and she is fine. I got a letter today and said she has not heard back so she is hopeful everything is fine. Injuries can heal and they will allow them too. Hope and pray for the best and please know that we are going through it too. Its so difficult playing the hurry up and wait to hear game!!!

Comment by RaeEli on April 21, 2011 at 3:17pm: So I received 4 more letters today, the first two sounded good... he had his wisdom teeth removed but otherwise okay. The last two written on 4/17/11... not so great. Said he hurt his knee that week and the Navy noticed. He was going to see a specialist on 4/18/11. He's worried that he will get kicked out. I know some guys from his Div (178) have called home this week and I still have not heard anything. I'm scared for him. If he was going to get the boot, wouldn't I have heard something by now? Or heard from him period? I know no news is good news but after the letters I'm concerned.

Comment by ColoradoConnie on April 21, 2011 at 3:08pm: @diannep yes it will be a thrill for him. I know that he thought it was great. Yes he is in Div 927. The second oldest guy in his TG. He said they call him a Delta Male. But that as far as his PFA goes he is running ,swimming and performing better than most of the 17 and 18 year olds! Way to go ! That's my boy! Not bad for 30, huh gang!? So very proud...or can you tell?

Comment by diannep on April 21, 2011 at 3:00pm: ColoradoConnie: Is he in the 900 division? Yes, it is possible that he will be doing this service rather than marching. It is an honor for him to be with the officers and the guests, I'm sure! Hopefully, you will get to see him ....maybe before the ceremony? Catch a glimpse of him? I don't know....
