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 cmom-Ship04-Div812 on April 11, 2010 at 10:37pm: mikesproudmom, I am right there with you!!!! Like you I am doing better with the tears. I felt like everyone was probably tired of seeing me all wheepy but we cannot help how we feel. I think if we got a call we would feel as though we won the lottery. Have a great week. Will check in tomorrow. Nite!

Comment by cmom-Ship04-Div812 on April 11, 2010 at 6:10pm: My husband and I both look like morons going everywhere with 2 phones at home. (Cell and landline) Then at work we even take the phones to the bathrooms. Wish they would let these guys call home......ugh! Just need to hear his voice............a letter tomorrow would be great too. But....I am not counting on anything...everything is hurry up and wait these days. If anyone gets anything please share with those of us who may not!!!! Still waiting. ;-)

Comment by t-wifey (Ship 14/Div 189) on April 11, 2010 at 3:25pm: I'm glad I'm not the only one... My phone was on vibrate during church... when it rang I about jumped out of my seat! Only to discover it was my father-in-law *sigh*. Good luck... hope everyone gets a call soon.

Comment by grumsmom on April 11, 2010 at 12:06pm: My cell phone has rang twice this morning (never does on Sunday mornings) and my heart has raced both times. I am sooo waiting for a phone call. I hope we all get one.

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on April 11, 2010 at 11:02am: Good Sunday Morning Ladies,
Does anyone think that we may get phone calls today? I hope so. My phone will be glued to me today. Just wondering if anyone else is hoping for a call.

He said first week was really hard, had seperationanxiety ......said the food was not to bad, he eats lots of bannas,apples and salads I think it said with no ranch...lol. said its getting a littlw easier. But anywho that's the basics hopefully other peps are getting letters. :)

Comment by lovemysailor (ship 14 div 190) on April 9, 2010 at 8:27pm: Hello all my husband is ship 14 div 190 and I got not letters today but got a phone call......yay it made my day, he was calling about his transcripts but was able to talk for a bit. He said he sent our letters on Sunday so I'm hoping to get them 2marrow. Said to keep sending lots of mail and that he got mail finally he said the last one that he received was the one from the Friday before easter. Said he has been doing great on all academic and physical test. Told me to send some of the ultrasound pics asap...he said he had seperation anexity at first but is doing a lot better. Also said that the word is that maybe wed they may get a good call so look out for it but don't get ur hopes up. Cleared up a lot about my pregancy which is good he says he heard from someone that as soon as he gets to a school he needs to tell his comand that I'm due soon and he might come home to me and our other 4 year old son until the baby is born which would be soooooo great. I also talked to him about if he knew if he was grad and go he said he didn't know and was not sure about that but I know there was a bunch of talk about them being grad and go...I'm sure they still are he just didn't know anything about it. Anywho thought I would share
