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 mamasan 4/809 on March 16, 2011 at 5:05pm: You got mail already? Wow..maybe for us today too. I can't believe it, but I think I saw a picture of my boy today. There were some new photos on the fb page, and there was one that said it was of their newest SR's...freshly thru with processing week. I think my boy is in the front row! I've convinced myself of it anyhow..

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on March 16, 2011 at 4:54pm: foreverMom, I read in the Family Guide at bootcamp.navy.mil...standard envelope. I've been sending the standard, business size #10 envelopes. Since I haven't heard anything from my SR, I'll have to assume that's what we should use. Somewhere in this website, I read that cards are okay, too, but we should avoid colored envelopes.

jbird, yes, I live in Shanksville. That was not a good way for our town to become known, but it is what it is, and we make the best of it. I agree, our SR's are to be commended on their decision to join the Navy. We can all be very proud of our loved ones!

Comment by Soh@ppy&proud!ship 7 DIV 170 on March 16, 2011 at 4:45pm: @DMinnesotamom...I'm so happy for you,I hpoe i get a letter soon going crazy here,so wa his letter short and sweet or did he get to tell you what hes really feeling??

Comment by jbird on March 16, 2011 at 4:39pm: Robin, a nuke's mom,

I just saw that you're from Shanksville. South of us. You must have some stories to tell of that sacred ground..wow. Reminds me of just how proud I am of all of our son's and daughter's for the commendable decision they've made to serve in the Navy. Bless them all

Comment by Ozzy on March 16, 2011 at 4:38pm: Hi Girls! Starting to look at airlines and hotels, as well. Are you staying until Sunday?

Thinking of Courtyard Marriott in Waukegan. Are you renting a car or taking a hotel shuttle?

Any thoughts?

Comment by Soh@ppy&proud!ship 7 DIV 170 on March 16, 2011 at 4:34pm: My son loves Kentucky basketball can I send clippings out of the sports page of the games he's missing???when I finally get an address that is?

Comment by jbird on March 16, 2011 at 4:34pm: forever mom,

thanks for that information. did not know airlines could do that. awwww...I wouldn't call you a B-word. It's an adjustment. I warned my husband to bear with me for the time being. So mine's poor too! back to airlines, do you know how far in advance is a good time to book in a normal situation? We rarely fly..

Hey I like your picture, you must have taken it at MEPS. Not a scene you see just anywhere. Oh the memories already, cried my eyes out in that swearing in room, so was a dad of a girl leaving. So very touching he was..the girl turned around after swearing in and said "aww dad, you're crying!" That did not help my cause any!

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on March 16, 2011 at 3:27pm: Amen, sister! Thanks for making me laugh! I needed it :)

Comment by jbird on March 16, 2011 at 3:12pm: Robin, you are cracking me up! Did it look like Jenn ship to you too? too funny! Nuke moms are one of a kind! Amen!
