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 LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on April 22, 2010 at 10:04am: moonblosson- I'm not sure why the pant legs are rolled up. my son went in sweat pants. But before he left on utube he found a video of recruit training and the first bit they go thru. he shared it with me. They stand on this machine to get sized for shoes so I'm thinking (odor coming out my head LOL) that is why they might be rolled up.

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on April 22, 2010 at 9:21am: not sure we're in this date yet but think we will be. ship06 div 930, anyone else?

Comment by Duston'sMom on April 21, 2010 at 8:19pm: Great idea about the box. I squirreled mine away in my closet and am just waiting for my husband to find it and wonder what I'm thinking. Now I have an excuse! :)

Comment by Duston'sMom on April 21, 2010 at 8:05pm: Terelak--do you have your son's ship and division. If so, the divisions that will be graduating on 6/11 is supposed to be posted next Monday. My son also left on 4/15 and I believe his date is 6/11, just from looking at division numbers just before his.

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on April 21, 2010 at 8:00pm: I still haven't opened the box......

Comment by Sealifedifferently-ship11/Div209 on April 21, 2010 at 4:03pm: JessicaB0Sailor Mom we all appreciate all your help. This site is the best to find answers or just to chat when you need someone who understands. I think we will need folks like you through this and beyond. Thanks for being there :)

Comment by Sealifedifferently-ship11/Div209 on April 21, 2010 at 3:25pm: I am sure glad that the rest of you also loved the smell of the clothes in the box... I was thinking that folks would think I was crazy.. I have been sending a letter a day since I got his address. I know that I will get very limited letters but hopefully I will get at least one. Does anyone know if you can send them stamps in their letters so that they do not have to worry about buying them?

Comment by lacksmom on April 21, 2010 at 11:39am: My son arrived in BC on 4/15 and we received his box yesterday. I'm not sure but if I have it right he sould be part of PIR on 6/11 but it could be 6/18. I guess I won't know until I get the official letter. My husband called me early and told me that we had received the box, I started to lose it at work but after a few minutes of talking with my husband I was OK. When I got home we opened it and just looked at everything. When we first opened the box it smelt like him. I miss that beautiful boy! I know God is with him, guiding him through whatever he is going through. I CAN'T wait until we get the letter.

Comment by Jakob and Lily`s Mom on April 21, 2010 at 11:37am: got my "husband in a box" monday night and the letter...opened it immediately! was dissapointed that his bible was sent back...everything was sent back...i was under the impression that he could have some of the items that was on the "list" oh well i know he ok...hes tough...our 3yr old is handeling things much better than i am he just says "mamma dont cry daddy's at the navy on a boat" ha! hope all of you other moms and wives are doing well =)

Comment by Duston'sMom on April 21, 2010 at 1:13am: Charlesmom--I've discovered already that this is a great place to feel not so lonely without your kid. The folks on here "get it" like the folks at home can't.
