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 Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on May 19, 2010 at 12:56am: I got my first letter and call on Wednesday of the third week. I got my letter telling me that she would be calling that day, but I forgot to take my cell phone with me to work, and didn't read the letter until I got to work. :( I did get my ex husband to bring it to me (Thank God!) or I would have missed her call. She didn't have any numbers with her, and could only call numbers that she could remember. I forgot that I had my ringer was off because I had been to the dentist earlier that day, then looked down and realized that I was getting a call. It was Katie calling, she had been trying to get ahold of me for 20 mins and couldn't. She was crying. I felt like I had let her down. Make sure that you send phone numbers to your sailors so that they can get ahold of someone. I am guessing that most of you will get letters and or maybe even phone calls tomorrow. I know that it will be a great relief. I am excited for all of you, I know that it made me feel so much better.
Adam I hope that you hear from Hayley on Wednesday too! I posted some of your Wedding photos that I took, on facebook. I miss her too! Let me know what she says.

Comment by Jodi Cory's Mom(Ship 09 Div 223) on May 18, 2010 at 6:06pm: I will pray you all will get your letter soon. Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrw. Hang in there I know it's tuff. I am going to write him tonight and get a phone card out to him so he can call. All we have here are cell phones no land lines.

Comment by annafornavy on May 18, 2010 at 5:51pm: Jodi: That is AWESOME for you... How wonderful.. I keep wondering if my son is going to get his wisdom teeth cut out too... He will be in my prayers that all goes well for Cory... If I dont have a letter tomorrow I will be so afraid of myself... LOL.. Myluck Dustin had watch and was not able to write.. This is killing me....

Comment by annafornavy on May 18, 2010 at 5:43pm: CakersMOM; Sometimes they make them wait 3 weeks... But I just know we will see letters tomorrow or Thursday. I am not just saying that to get your hopes up.. They are coming.. I dont think he is in trouble they just keep them very busy so they have little time to try and miss home. Which is a comfort for me in a way... We all know the emptiness of opening that box and all we see is bills and catalogs... : ( Their love is on the way to us I just know it..

SWCCWife: I have been suction cupped to my front window every Saturday waiting for the new Saturday mailman to come. The old mail man was here between 10 -11 this guy doesnt roll through until 3 - 4. I think this Saturday I am going to have to wait at the box and have a little chitty chat with him on mail delivery etitqutte.. LOL.. Or I am going to protest until I get the old mail man back... : )

Comment by Jodi Cory's Mom(Ship 09 Div 223) on May 18, 2010 at 5:39pm: I received my first letter today. I could have hugged the mailman. Cory said he was doing fine but has to have his wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow. I hope that goes well for him. He will be in SIQ for a day or two. He did say he really liked all of the letters and we should keep them coming. I was so happy to hear from him today it has made my week so far. Next the phone call. I can't wait. I hope everyone gets their letter soon, Hang in there ladies!!!!

Comment by CAKER'S MOM (SHIP 09 DIV 224) on May 18, 2010 at 5:00pm: I still have yet to recieve a handwritten letter from Caleb. I check the mail everyday and still no letter. He's been there two weeks. I really hope that he's not in trouble or for some reason they are not letting him write. I hate this. I so look forward to getting just something from him. So Sad for me.

Comment by annafornavy on May 18, 2010 at 4:34pm: SWCCWife: Oh no that means I am going to get home and throw a tantrum on my front yard for the whole world to see... Isnt it amazing how the little things mean so much more now... I know he wrote you a good loving one... There is no doubt.. This will make him fall even more in love with you than he already is... : )
