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 SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on May 22, 2010 at 4:25am: oh sorry didn't mean to sound like that was the only way it happens..lol i just re-read my post...
that was just what he said about his div, but
I'm sure it depends what the RDC wants to do, and how well the recruits are doing in their training can affect that as well, I've heard of letters being held a week as punishment..that wouldn't be very fun
(guess that's not what boot camp is about anyways right)

Comment by Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on May 22, 2010 at 3:48am: LA'sMOM(Ship 9, Div 225) I am sure that it could be different for each DIV, but my daughter said that they got their mail everyday. She said that they only had time to read it on Sunday...if I got that correct? Katie would write in her rack after lights out. They send their mail on Sundays.

Comment by Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on May 22, 2010 at 3:42am: Cheryl HUGGS to you!

Comment by SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on May 22, 2010 at 2:40am: my husband is Ship 9 Div 223... he said they only get their mail on FRIDAYS.
in his letter to me he didnt seem like he had gotten any of mine yet...so i bet he got a HUGE stack today(about 20 from me alone).

Cheryl... i wonder whats going on! i am so sad for you...i wish i could give you a big huge hug right now!! i live in California and i got mine yesterday...so it cant be that you're far... i truly hope you get one soon

Comment by matilda114 (ship 9 div 226) on May 22, 2010 at 1:03am: where did you find the letter from the dad? Im running out of idea to write about and send,still has not gotten a letter or phone call. Walking around with the cell phone in my hand not going to miss it :)

Comment by LA'sMOM on May 21, 2010 at 8:59pm: Thank you annafornavy. Just hearing from other moms really helps. The letter from the dad is great. I will print it and send it to my son. I'm hoping he is just homesick and things will start to get better.

Comment by annafornavy on May 21, 2010 at 7:59pm: HI LA'sMOM: The questionaire is right about this chat on the discussion form. You can also adjust it to the questions you would ike to ask...I was at my sons recruiters just a few mins ago and I logged into navy for moms and showed him how goofy and nuts us moms are. He said they are alllowed to get cards,. I had sent Dustin cards. He recieved 13 of my cards. but no one else's I dont understand that as my youngest son wrote him and his friends and family.. I know he will get them. Maybe they knew I was the mama and he needed them most.. Also LA'smom there is a letter in the discussion form that I sent my son that a sailor and now dad of sailor wrote. It is AWESOME. I sent it to my son and he loved it. He said it really put alot of things in perspective for him. So I would send him that as well. Tell him to hang in there and that his RDC's once have been where he is and they want to make him into the best Sailor possible that is the only reason they are so tough. My sons DIV is not clicking yet so they are not getting calls until that happens. I am hoping it is soooooon... I want to hear Dustin's voice... Hang in there and whatever we can do to help you and your son feel better we are there for you...

Comment by LA'sMOM on May 21, 2010 at 7:47pm: I received my letter yesterday also!! My son sounded very depresssed. How does the mail work there? He said they only get to write on Sundays? Do they only get mail on Sundays also? How do I get a copy of the questionaire that some of you have mentioned?

Comment by jjh1029 on May 21, 2010 at 7:11pm: SWCCWIFE...thank you soooo very much for clearing that up for me and all of us that were worried...wonder why she told me that then...like i said earlier unless its just her that dont want them sent or she just dont have enough room..but i can't figure it out...thanks again

Comment by jjh1029 on May 21, 2010 at 5:44pm: ok im glad that all u others have sent them too and ev thing is ok...or i know ur child would said something to you also...i asked her in the letter i just sentr her why?...or hopefully if they call then thats the 1st question im go0ing to ask her...
