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."

thank you aveoamare, getting ready for work and feel better as my other two boys are home from school now. I am usually a very patient person, but I am just so excited to get that form letter and be one step closer to PIR.

hang in there nicksmum, it will come.  Try to get some rest in the meantime, its not going to do any good worrying about it.  I know its so hard but each division has different rules and they each do things in their own time.  It will come soon.

@dminnesotaMom, thank you so much for your encouragement, i think the worst part was that I sent my husband over there this morning and they told him they had not heard of anyone getting the address before 2 weeks. so when my husband got home he felt like i shouldnt have sent him there, i told him that almost everyone else had some address for their SR and he just argued with me, so of course i started crying because I work night shift and I had waited up for him expecting to get my boys address. So then I couldnt get to sleep for ages and I have to work again tonight which will be 40 hours in the last 3 days. and when the mail came this afternoon there was still no letter. aaaahhhh

when did he go So?  I'm sorry you're having such a hard time getting information.

And, some RDC don't mind newspaper clippings and others don't like them. If possible try to scan them and print them out on regular paper, then you can write your letter on the other side. Or get the article online and copy and paste it to word and print it off.
Comment by nicksmum on March 16, 2011 at 7:20pm
@soh, i received my box tuesday and still no address I had my husband go by the recruiting office today and they said it takes at least 2 weeks to get his address. I am so frustrated and i just started bawling when my husband told me they didnt have it. I wish i had a good experience with my local recruiting office but I knew they would say no.
Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 16, 2011 at 7:18pm
So sorry Soh@ppy (cute name by-the-way) maybe you will get the form letter tomorrow. I will keep my fingers crossed for you :)
