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 keger2001 on June 13, 2011 at 6:06pm: That's great Elizabeth!

Comment by elizabeth on June 13, 2011 at 5:40pm: Just got a phone call from my SR. It was so good to hear his voice. I didn't cry until we hung up. He sounded so good and happy.

Comment by diannep on June 13, 2011 at 11:40am: Great to see you on here, Sandy! Another great veteran mom who helps alot, ladies!

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on June 13, 2011 at 9:38am: Ladies, I can't believe how fast time has gone by. It has been almost a year since my son joined the Navy. His PIR was 8/6/10. PIR was wonderful. It was worth all the nail biting and worrying.

Hello diannep! Thank you for helping these ladies like you have helped me and hundreds of others.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on June 13, 2011 at 9:20am: Southern mom,

phone calls happen from your Recruit when you least expect them. We used to get ours in the afternoon or evening. Keep in mind that the RDCs use phone calls as an incentive for the entire divisions to work as a team. I remember going 3 to 4 weeks without a letter or phone call. (and sometimes no news is good news)

Also, I read a post on RTC Facebook stating that there are a limited amount of phones so not to worry if you have not heard from your Recruit.

Comment by Just T on June 13, 2011 at 8:32am: Yes Thank you ALL!!!!

Comment by diannep on June 13, 2011 at 8:26am: Love seeing more veteran ladies on here to help out! Thanks, ladies!

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 13, 2011 at 7:29am: This is so very hard to understand but please know that no news is ALWAYS good news! Mail is crazy....you will write every day and it might take over a week for your SR to get them. Same for you as well you might get 7 letters in one day. Mail is on Sunday for the most part! Hand in there! You can send your SR a phone card and stamps!!! 31 days left everyone! Hang in there! ♥
