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 Jaime (USS Abraham Lincoln) on May 12, 2010 at 3:47pm: My letters were coming in on Wednesdays for the first couple weeks then they started coming in on Thursday or Friday. It is really tough when you are anxiously waiting for it and then it doesn't come. I ran home today at lunch, like usual, to check the mail and the darn mail hadn't even come in yet so I went all that way for nothing! So I have to wait to see anyways. I am really looking forward to my call tomorrow. My husband said in one of his letters that div. 189 would be making calls around 2 - 3 central time so I will be waiting with cell phone charged and volume on high so I don't miss it!!

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 12, 2010 at 1:40pm: My last two letters have come on Wednesday, but I'm trying to stay calm so I don't end up disappointed. And I haven't had any phone calls since April 19th, so I'm concentrating on the "I'm a sailor" phone call next week.

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 12, 2010 at 1:23pm: Gloria, I get letters on Thursdays so I will definitely fill you in as soon as I know anything! ksunagel is right, maybe it will be in the mail tomorrow. Keep your chin up and just think, next week you'll be face to face with him! Try to hold on to that joy.

Comment by Gloria (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 12, 2010 at 1:02pm: I just got home and for the first Wednesday since he left, I did not get a letter. I'm so nervous that something's going to go wrong here at the end. If anyone from our division hears from the recruit please post and let me know if everything is alright. Maybe the mail just got delayed and I'll hear from him tomorrow.

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 12, 2010 at 11:50am: I know some of you ladies get your letters today! Don't forget to keep us informed! I can't wait to hear how they are all doing.

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 12, 2010 at 11:12am: I understand; I'm sure all of you are so anxious to see him. I'd leave now, if I could...but then I would probably go crazy up there waiting. :)

Comment by Jaime (USS Abraham Lincoln) on May 12, 2010 at 9:50am: I have not been able to sleep these last couple nights either. I was planning on leaving on Monday to start my trip north but I think that Saturday or Sunday sounds better! Not that we get to see him any sooner but just knowing that we are on our way will hopefully calm my nerves a little!

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 12, 2010 at 9:04am: OH, and congratulations to all the honor grads and their families!! That is so awesome.

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 12, 2010 at 9:02am: Check around and see what others are doing. I'll go along with anything, just as long as we have the buttons and something that identifies the division. I'm so excited I couldn't sleep last night.
