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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 15, 2011 at 7:14pm: Most of them will get more calls. A lot depends on who the RDC is and how well they are coming together as a group. They can get phone calls as rewards for doing well. So keep that phone with you at all times :-)

Comment by keger2001 on June 15, 2011 at 6:31pm: Sandy's thanks..

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on June 15, 2011 at 6:30pm: keger2001. I will try to send you a personal message. Check your Inbox in about 15 minutes.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on June 15, 2011 at 6:28pm: Birdiejr, It all depends. Each Division is different. You will get another phone call for sure after Battle Stations. Remember, "no news is good news."

You might get a call after the Second PFA. (Personal Fitness Assessment) I think that is week 5 of boot camp including P Days. (processing days)

Comment by keger2001 on June 15, 2011 at 6:22pm: Okay moms I really need your help, my SR is still feeling like he is not part of the division and kinda alienated, I guess you could say. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this changed? He is really struggling.

Comment by Birdiejr on June 15, 2011 at 6:03pm: Do they usually get more phone calls after week 3? I'm afraid to hope but don't want to put my phone down anywhere, just in case...He said to expect more letters bc he had mailed more but none have arrived yet. The first arrived on Thurs (we're in NC) so I'm guessing tomorrow is the day!!

Comment by Lori on June 15, 2011 at 5:59pm: Hi cots mom...our sons are in the same division. We may not know each other, but it sounds like we are living the same lives. I've felt and done all of these things! What a joy it will be on July 15th. Until then let's hope they stay safe and strong!

Comment by CodyMichaelsmom (Ship 7,Div 227) on June 15, 2011 at 5:38pm: I don' have much time to get on this website, but when I get a chance, it tugs at my heart to see how so many of the mom's are all going through the same thing! This past Friday, I got my second letter. I was so happy, calling everyone and reading them all the letter. I was reading it to my mom (grandma) when my cell phone range with an area code I didn't recognize. It was... "MOM, I gotta go, this might be Cody, click." And then, "Hello" and it was son. ;-)) We to spend at least 20 minutes on the phone, and he got to talk to 3 of his siblings. The twins were running around the house yelling, they were so excited! But I don't know if I would trade that for my letters either. Like CAnavymom, my 1st was almost worn out. I took it to work with me, and every where I went, read it to everyone who would listen! THEN... on Monday I got 3 letters!!! Inside one was a letter for me, one for each of the 3 bro/sis that still live at home. It's been a good week!

Comment by elizabeth on June 15, 2011 at 5:24pm: I received my last two letters on Wednesday's. but no letter today, probably tomorrow since he said he mailed one when I talked to him on Monday. I was so hoping for that letter today, selfish me.

Comment by CAnavymom(MMN) on June 15, 2011 at 5:19pm: Parrothdgal, I agree! As much as I loved talking to my SR, I have almost worn out that first letter :)

keger2001, letter #1 came on a Thurs., so I'm thinking it will probably be the same with this next one...hoping anyhow!
