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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 2, 2011 at 9:18am: ohevetbeni, He will be so happy to see you at PIR, the card will be a wonderful distant memory. :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 2, 2011 at 7:22am: ohevetbeni- I think that is a great idea, I say send it today :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 1, 2011 at 11:24pm: I agree with diannep. The RDC might just ask them to open the envelope it in front of them, but I wouldn't think they would have a problem with it.

Comment by diannep on June 1, 2011 at 9:48pm: Yep! You should. Others have done that. I think it is wonderful. RDCs should be ok with it....

Comment by momof2 on June 1, 2011 at 8:47pm: I received a call too! It was so wonderful to hear his voice. It was for college transcript info and I got to visit with him for a little bit. He said that he has a job and is doing good. He sounded strong and happy. I took the advice of others and didn't cry when we were talking, but cried like a baby after we hung up. :) No letter either.

Comment by 91brandonmom on June 1, 2011 at 7:48pm: Ok - today was an exciting day.....I heard from him only for a minute because it was regarding his background check and he needed alot of family information so no chance to really talk but it was so nice to hear his voice. He sounded great but he did say he was sick.
Not sure who I should thank but thank you to the person who said not to waste your precious time crying while they are on the phone with you - you can do that after LOL! I held tight until the very end :)

Comment by trucka'smom on June 1, 2011 at 7:47pm: No letter here either! Hurry up and wait!!!!

Comment by Just T on June 1, 2011 at 6:41pm: I too was hoping for a letter.... Nothing yet!!! I can't take the suspense! Lol

Comment by diannep on June 1, 2011 at 6:40pm: CANavymom: I have heard parking is close---not sure as I took the shuttle when up there and it worked out great for us. But I would suggest you call the Public Affairs Office and discuss it with them. They could tell you exactly:
