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 mapes on April 14, 2011 at 6:38pm: I got a very short phone call from my son div 811 and I could NOT hear him at all. I am so upset!

Comment by tks4 on April 14, 2011 at 6:32pm: I have not received a letter or phone call. 1ProudMomma, I would love to do the color thing. I have not made exact plans yet looking at my funds. This trip is a real exspense for my husband and myself.

Comment by catzmoo on April 14, 2011 at 6:13pm: I just got a 5 minute phone call from my SR in Div 811 :D it was so amazing to hear his voice!

Comment by Brandis_Mom on April 14, 2011 at 5:44pm: The mail just came and sadly there was no letter from my daughter, but I am hopeful for tomorrow, but at least I did get a phone call, so that is something that I can think about as well. I am so happy that the rest of you got your letters today, lets all send our best thoughts and wishes to all the young men and women in bootcamp and may they get everything that they desire from this life changing experience they are going through.

Comment by SailorWhitworth(Ship 04 Div 811) on April 14, 2011 at 5:11pm: They better not get two more! if they do I won't be able to see my SR graduate. I go to RTC on 5/24 to start my bootcamp!

Comment by catzmoo on April 14, 2011 at 4:50pm: I was really happy to get a letter today :) He seems to be doing well. My SR in Div 811 said one of the guys in the division got caught writing at night when they weren't supposed to be. The RTCs read the letter and it said bad things about them so the entire division got a "hard card entry" and that if they get three of those their graduation is delayed. He said they had to do jumping jacks for 2 1/2 hours straight because of it as well. I certainly hope they don't get two more :(
