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 Sandy's_sailor son on June 17, 2011 at 11:27pm: Gwendolyn, When my son was in boot camp it took a month before I got any letters. Then I got 4 at once. There is a lot of studying for tests in boot camp. I can also remember going with out any letters after that to. If his division had a bad few days then they were not allowed to write any letter or read them. I remember many unhappy moms and girlfriends. I think my son's division had some pretty tough RDCs. LoL

Comment by Gwendolyn on June 17, 2011 at 10:46pm: THANKS for all of your posts. My sailor has not written one time it's good to at least hear something about what is going on. I did get a phone call last Friday.

Comment by Christy on June 17, 2011 at 9:24pm: Lala Ribbin Queen????where do I find the encouraging questionaire you are talking about?

Comment by Christy on June 17, 2011 at 9:15pm: LadyLancelot, your family is in my prayers. May God give strenght and healing to her.

Comment by Christy on June 17, 2011 at 9:03pm: keger2001 it does get better. The first couple of letters he was so down and missed us. I got a letter 2 days ago (he has been there 4 weeks) and it was so different. He talked about good days, laughing, and having some fun. Keep praying it will turn for the better.

Comment by diannep on June 17, 2011 at 8:57pm: Christy: I have no doubt that is true! Probably with his precious little girl on his back if need be! So sweet....

Comment by Christy on June 17, 2011 at 8:56pm: Lala thanks as a Fathers Day card got sent from his daughter to him and it was blue. But I told her daddy would do pushups all day to hear from her.

Comment by LadyLancelot on June 17, 2011 at 7:59pm: Fireteamleaderwife, thank you, I received your friend request and responded but don't really know my way around this site. Hope you got my note. I would be very interested in the advice from your DH. On top of everything else, I am very worried about how my son will handle this news. I am learning though, that in a crisis, some people just step up. Thank you for doing so.
