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 mmiles 11/186 on April 12, 2011 at 2:07pm: Be sure to look at the new photos on the RTC FB page...there are 2 from today!! My RC isnt in any of them, but that is ok. I love to see the pics anyways!!

Comment by LoriMN - Ship 11 Div 185 on April 12, 2011 at 1:47pm: Lee Ann, is is so great to see you help all us newbies out!! Cody and Tyler are great kids, I am glad we have become friend through our sons!

Comment by diannep on April 12, 2011 at 1:07pm: mmiles: They TREASURE mail there...no matter what is said in it! I know many who said their SRs said they wouldn't write before they left...well guess what? They all wrote! Because as my son told me when there: Mom, you are my connection with the outside world! He was one who I didn't think would write (he is a talker so phone calls work for him!). Well, he wrote...about 4-5 letters....HUGE for him. So never be concerned that what you send is useless...to him, every word you write will be GOLDEN! You may have already done this, but we suggest that you all print pictures on paper (collage-style) so you can send alot at once. They have very limited space to keep things in there. Many N4M ladies will send a larger envelope so that their SRs can mail home their letters from you all and others to keep here. My son just threw all of his away....sigh....

Comment by diannep on April 12, 2011 at 1:02pm: For those of you asking: You can send a message to the whole group by way of the prompt at the top of this page: "Send Message to Group.' But to send individual messages, you must be "friends" with the person.

Comment by diannep on April 12, 2011 at 1:01pm: GailMindy: Those of us who have sailors in the Navy already know the Navy motto: HURRY UP AND.....WAIT! So that is what you are being trained for during bc!

Comment by diannep on April 12, 2011 at 12:58pm: mmiles: Excellent!

Comment by Parrothdgal on April 12, 2011 at 11:21am: I have given her address to everyone I can think of and begged for letters to be send to my daughter! I am going to print of envelopes with her address on them and take them to sunday school class this week! I am going for a snail mail record for one recruit!

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 12, 2011 at 11:17am: LOL Kayla, I thought the same thing!! I have sent two letters to my son and each one contained about 3 days worth of "journaling" style of writing!! I know when he gets them he will say the same thing "yup that's my mom" I felt like alot of what I wrote was just useless info my I have a strong feeling and from what I have read they will LOVE every minute of knowing we are still the same onld mom's back home!! I even added pictures to the letters so he can see what we did that day. For his little brother and sister we printed out pictures and they wrote him letters around the pictures! I huge on taking pictures no matter what we do, so I usually have plenty around I can send!!

Comment by wildcats92 on April 12, 2011 at 11:08am: ok so I just wrote my first letter to my daughter, wow I feel like such a rambling mother. (LOL) but I feel so much better knowing that within a couple of weeks she will be reading it and laughing at me, thinking wow mom never changes....

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 12, 2011 at 11:08am: I dont know if any of you have checked it out yet, but on facebook there is a page for "U.S. Navy Recruit Training Center" where they post information, answer questions and post pictures.....yes I said post pictures! I of course dont expect to see my RC in any pictures, but if he is then jsut icing on the cake. I like to see pics of what it happening at the RTC with any of the RC's!
