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."

I'm learning so much and with each piece of information I get more excited for this direction my daughter is taking! Can't wait to meet this new woman at PIR.

Comment by Gardening_Brenda (S4 D811) on April 9, 2011 at 1:32pm: We got our letters yesterday; didn't think we would since we are flooded out on three sides of us with only one way in or out of our farm now. The mail lady must have seen the letters and made an extra effort to get them to us. I must put a treat in the mailbox for her on Monday. : ) Mu son is in 811 and besides the lack of time needed to eat and shower, he told me, "I thought you yelled a lot until I got here." Ha! I was just training him for the big show! He also informed me he's a petty officer and is in charge of the "Dirty Dozen" cleaning up the bathroom. All those years of making him clean his own bathroom at home paid off..just not thinking HE thinks so! So good to 'see' his voice.Yep, he misses my cooking, too. Here's hoping all of you get your much anticipated letters...

Comment by drewsmom on April 9, 2011 at 12:31pm: @Kelly and Katy. Please post a link or tell me how to find the pictures. I am lost here....

Comment by CorpsmansGirl08 (station:GL,IL) on April 9, 2011 at 12:23pm: Sooo glad I went to the mail box to drop off my letter for my SR when I did this morning!!! the mailman usually comes at 11 ish but today they were an hour early!!!! as i was walking up the driveway they came and picked it up! :D

Comment by drewsmom on April 9, 2011 at 12:13pm: @futurenavywife....yes my son is in Ship 7 Div 177. He left out of Sacramento on 3/29. I know it has been a long 12 days for me also. I didn't even recieve the "I'm here" phone call!! The only thing I have recieved is the for letter which gave his address and grad date, and the 3 very short handwritten lines at the end. I miss him so much but they are already approaching their 3rd week so that's good. I a hoping for a letter or a phone call some time soon. What A school will your fiance be going to after BC? My son will be in Pensacola FL for Aircrew training. I have already made reservations for our hotel for grad but still shopping aroung for flights. Good luck to you and feel free to private email me :)

Comment by KellynKaty(corps-Mom) on April 9, 2011 at 11:53am: I found the pics.. They are from April 7, on US Navy RTC. Facebook.. you might want to see if you see your loved one..I didn't see mine but hopefully you will. Let us know if you see yours..

Thank you all,
