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 Rachel's Mom (Ship 02 Div 929) on April 20, 2011 at 8:19pm: Got the form letter last week..Just want a real letter with more then a short note

Comment by Meruhnavywife on April 20, 2011 at 8:14pm: @Rachel's Mom: My hubby is in the same ship/div. I have heard nothing yet other than the form letter :( I didn't get the form letter until last Friday, so it's possible it will be later this week too.

Comment by Rachel's Mom (Ship 02 Div 929) on April 20, 2011 at 7:59pm: Any news from ship 02 Div 929???

Comment by hapsmolmr on April 20, 2011 at 7:58pm: I just joined this group but have been on the Nuke Moms group for a while since that is the job my son is trying for. He is in ship 07 Div 188. Would love to hear from any one else with similar division, Haven't received letter or phone call other than the form letter. Hopefully he is not in a division that gets in trouble a lot but will deal with it if I have to. Can't wait for June 3rd.

Comment by NavyHubby81(Ship 02 Div 929) on April 20, 2011 at 6:29pm: Oh I hope I get a letter soon... this is starting to really hurt

Comment by LoriMN - Ship 11 Div 185 on April 20, 2011 at 6:13pm: I got my first letters, yes letters I GOT THREE OF THEM....... He is doing so good and sounds grown up, likes the uniforms, likes the food, marched 1 1/2 miles, tired, I feel so much better!

Comment by Fluffymom on April 20, 2011 at 5:54pm: Parrothdgal - I was told by a friend that the kids need to vent to their parents - it gets the stuff out without taking it out on the wrong people

and they will get better!!! Hoping to get a letter soon from my son

also hoping easter phone call - that would be awesome

prayers for them all

Comment by Fluffymom on April 20, 2011 at 5:51pm: I love the countdown! makes things look so much closer!!!!

Comment by Meruhnavywife on April 20, 2011 at 5:25pm: Thanks for the link mmiles. I know my hubby wasn't in them s:02 div: 929 (he's so tall he almost was TOO tall to get in...easy to spot in a crowd), but I had no idea something like that existed on facebook. Very exciting :)

Parrothdgal, it is going to be VERY tough on them the first few weeks. You really get yelled at the most the first month that you are there. This doesn't sound nice, but it's really about breaking down the individual to bring out the group effort. They have to learn to depend on each other and work for each other and not themselves, so that they can do their jobs correctly. Sad to say, but yes, all of our loved ones will come back at least a little different than how we sent them off.

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 20, 2011 at 5:11pm: Parrothdgal-Thank you for the update!!

When I talked to my son on monday he said had mailed out some letters but I have yet to recieve on, that's ok though!! There are some new pics posted on the RTC FB page, dont think any of our boys but you can always check it out!!
