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 Meruhnavywife on April 22, 2011 at 4:01pm: Lol, I dunno if it's being encouraged more as much as they finally start doing everything exactly and precisely the way they are supposed to and they get yelled at less than the first week as a result. I still haven't heard from my hubby, which makes me think they must be pretty busy with rehearsals. 02/929 It would be a nice Easter present to get a phone call either tomorrow or Sunday, but I suppose I'll just have to hurry and wait!

Comment by diannep on April 22, 2011 at 3:24pm: Z'sGirl: As Jessica said, it does get better. The first weeks are pretty tough for them. By about Week 4 of training (not counting processing days), they start getting more encouraged...so hang in there!

Comment by diannep on April 22, 2011 at 3:20pm: KylesMom: You should probably drive to the airport to see him off. Maybe you can meet up with others in his division who would be happy to give you a lift since you are alone? Hope you are going to the MeetNGreet and you can talk about it there with the other ladies.

Comment by cruisinkitkat(Ship 04/Div 812) on April 22, 2011 at 1:26pm: I will be happy with a letter. Anyone in 04 812. Getting any letters?

Comment by KylesMom (Lois) 11/186 on April 22, 2011 at 1:07pm: That would be nice to get a call. Hopefully after church! lol

Comment by jc-navymom on April 22, 2011 at 1:03pm: What do you think the chances are that we'll get our 3 week call on Easter? That would be nice :)

Comment by KylesMom (Lois) 11/186 on April 22, 2011 at 11:33am: Man! My son is in 11/186! I hope he's not one of them in trouble! He didn't indicate that in his letter. He didn't say anything about the other guys. Hmmm.....I'll just stick with no news is good news.

Comment by Z's girl on April 22, 2011 at 11:00am: I got my first letter today from my bf that is in division 11/186. He did not seem very upbeat at all. He sounded ok but said things were really tough for his group. I was so excited to hear how much he loved and missed me but some of the stories he told about other guys in his group broke my heart. He said that they will catch you off guard doing the smallest thing and cuss you up and down. He did say though without a doubt he was going to make it! I'm so excited I finally heard from him but I hope these next few weeks are better than the first three.

Comment by SailorMomCarla - Ship12Div410 on April 22, 2011 at 10:20am: At Tiffsmom ~ Yes 10 in his division 11/186 for various reasons he didn't get into. But I had read on here from another mom in the same one that that division was in trouble alot because they had some that were having 'difficulty'. That could be some of the reason? When I had read that before hearing from him, I was hoping it wasn't him! It's not! ;-)

At Parrothdgal ~ My SR is headed to San Antonio for MAA too! I was hoping he wouldn't be headed out until after the weekend. But it looks like Saturday morning now per FB. We will look for stuff to do too. Unfortunately Oprah will be done filming when we get there...boo! She has a store tho! lol

Comment by Meruhnavywife on April 22, 2011 at 10:10am: Grad and go sailors will know about 3 weeks before the end of boot camp (at the latest). Pensacola sailors will more than likely be grad and go, although it's kind of dumb because once they get to Pensacola some will wait weeks before classes actually start.
