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 Krystal(Trevor'swife) on May 15, 2010 at 1:34pm: Yeah Trevor has been putting USS Kearsarge too.

Comment by Krystal(Trevor'swife) on May 15, 2010 at 1:28pm: Tristans Mom- Oh wow that is so nice of you to write everyday! I'm sure he loves getting letters from someone new...mine are basically the same thing lol I've been having an easier time writing but I think I still miss some days lol My routine is basically the same though and I'm sure he loves hearing about me and the baby but I'm also sure it is nice to get other mail as well. Thank you!

Comment by JudyB. on May 15, 2010 at 1:28pm: Has anybody's SR been addressing their return address with the ship # And the ship NAME; because T has. The last 2 letters have been addressed USS Kearsarge. I wonder what the spelling stands for?!

Comment by Joyce - NavyMom Oceana on May 15, 2010 at 1:05pm: my son as been shading out the emblem on the envelope as well, curious because it looks like the same emblem on the letter head.

Comment by JudyB. on May 15, 2010 at 12:28pm: Krystal - Hi so Good to hear the baby is doing well. I have been writing Trevor every day this week, pretty much telling him the same things I tell T, except the "I love you part". LOL but Yah! it's fun writing to somebody I have never met...I feel like I have been invited onto a New families life and I'm contributing to keep the lines of communication open between them(what an honor)Thank You!!

Comment by usnavybrat/ Brenda on May 15, 2010 at 12:25pm: I think it is the recruit training commands return address emblem so our recruits put there return address there instead.

Comment by Krystal(Trevor'swife) on May 15, 2010 at 12:11pm: Hey does anyone know why my husband would black out the Navy emblem on the front of all his envelopes?? lol

Comment by Krystal(Trevor'swife) on May 13, 2010 at 10:04pm: Sophia- Yes I got my ID...but I didn't think to see if I could put my pre-pregnancy weight :( That would have been nice. The baby is doing well...as of right now he is not too fussy of a baby and sleeps pretty well. I hope it lasts!

Comment by JudyB. on May 13, 2010 at 9:45pm: Good Evening Moms...Kathryn, what ship is your on?! could it be ship 11?! My son T is in ship 11 div 209. So happy you're here!! You are in good company. I love to hear every single post in every forum & group, I feel like I'm apart of something really good and tangible, every Mom, Girlfriend, Grand Mom you are validated!!

Sophia- Hi, I'm Judy...Tristans Mom. T is in ship 11 div 209 too!! I would love to hear a lot more from You and any every significant other Moms, Girlfriends etc. who are in are PIR.

It warms my heart and brings tears to my eyes to listen to you All beam with Pride and "Over the moon" in love with our Recruits. Keep the posts coming day or night I need more inf to write to my T. A letter just arrived here in CA this afternoon. It is the Questionnaire with 3 pages asking my recruit a lot of questions I would love to have answered; but don't want to strain my T's brain with more thinking...so All he has to do is answer a few question. T says their div won the Academic Flag with a div average of 90%."Navy Up"!!!

Comment by Sophia on May 13, 2010 at 8:50pm: Nukewife - did you get your ID yet? I got mine last week, it was surprising easy! They even let me put my pre-pregnancy weight down :) Glad you got a call even if it was business. My husband mentioned in his letters that some things were fun. I can't imagine that, better him than me! How is the baby??
