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 Jan1 on May 19, 2010 at 3:34pm: Dear Nukewife,
He said that at least for him, he is still on track for graduation on 6/11. We are much closer to Great Lakes - you should get some mail either tomorrow or Friday.

Comment by Krystal(Trevor'swife) on May 19, 2010 at 3:21pm: Jan-Glad you got some mail!! Did your son say how the division is doing? I expect Trevor's letters to be here tomorrow since the first set came last Thursday. It takes a little longer to get to FL I guess.

Comment by Jan1 on May 19, 2010 at 2:20pm: Our mail delivery was early today - 4 letters in one envelope. Seems like they are having a little more time to write. Hope that mail is on the way for other families today!

Comment by WendyG on May 19, 2010 at 11:13am: Thanks for that idea! I know she will be here in spirit so to speak.

Comment by Sealifedifferently-ship11/Div209 on May 19, 2010 at 11:11am: WendyG - I know how you feel my son celebrated his B-day in boot camp as well. It was a hard day but someone suggested that I go buy a little cake and celebrate the birthday anyway. I did not see the message until the next day but I thought it was a good idea maybe you can do that.

Comment by WendyG on May 19, 2010 at 10:55am: My daughter's birthday is the 23rd of this month. So, I went to pick a nice card and couldn't decide on one, so I got her 4 cards. I am hoping she gets them on her birthday. As I chose cards, the tears falling and still falling... mostly from pride, but a bit from worry and just plain missing my girl on her birthday stinks. Of course I take comfort in knowing that her next birthday (I think) I will at least be able to call her and tell her "Happy Birthday!"

Comment by Kathryn on May 19, 2010 at 7:01am: Goodmorning to you all.
Charles Mom I know how you feel last I heard from my son he twisted his ankle and they wouldnt let him do PT that day. I have not heard from him since. I keep praying the phone rings but then Im glad it don"t my son's recuiter said No News is GOOD news.

I hope all you moms have a good day today.

Comment by ses_monroe on May 19, 2010 at 5:03am: I love the test. It made me smile as well. Today, the movie Valentine's Day came out. Of course I had to buy it, but I spent the night bawling my eyes out. I miss that boyfriend of mine. We are so close to PIR it's killing me. Hope it's letter day for everyone. :)

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on May 18, 2010 at 11:10pm: Tess - thank you so much for your uplifting words. You always seem to know just what to say to make one feel better. I haven't gotton mail or a phone call, but I am hopeful that this might change soon. I am looking forward to some written correspondence rather then a phone call right now. I would love to hear my sons voice, but I am frightened, that any call right now would just confirm my fears that Charles' foot is going to be holding him back from graduation. I pray that he is recovering well and fast. I wish everyone a good night and a mailbox full of good news tomorrow.

Comment by Sealifedifferently-ship11/Div209 on May 18, 2010 at 10:19pm: Sajest - I know waht you mean, I have had an empty feeling in my stomach since I did nto get a call this Sunday. I thought I might get a letter today but no such luck! There is always tomorrow but I will not be home until late tomorrow night so it will be a long day.

Thanks to all of you because just reading your posts always make me feel better. Thanks to all of you.
