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 Karleen ship 3 div 221 on June 3, 2011 at 6:58pm: GOT A CALL FROM MY SON JUST NOW!! So excited I can hardly stand it!

Comment by karensv on June 3, 2011 at 6:49pm: I also got my first letter today(Div934) funny thing I thought the same thing about his handwriting way to neat!!! He is doing really good! Got the shots and his wisdom teeth out also.

Comment by diannep on June 3, 2011 at 5:47pm: AMEN, rackie! I so agree with you!

Comment by diannep on June 3, 2011 at 5:46pm: The Momma: Yes, he will get the mail. 225 and 226 are brother divisions so they are right there together anyway (train together). They always make every effort to get the mail to the SRs. Even the RDCs know the importance of mail to them and don't usually use withholding it as "punishment."

mosita: Your daughter will be a "stick," what they call the flag holders. And wonderful for you because like she said, they are right in the front where you can see her.

Karleen: OUCH! Well, his must have been completely in. I can't imagine removing impacted wisdom teeth with no anesthesia.

Sonie: I thought the same thing when my son would write. His handwriting had been awful! I guess they are told they if they don't PRINT and do it NEATLY, they will not have their letters mailed. I think I needed an RDC living with us when my son was growing up...

Comment by joel's_rackie on June 3, 2011 at 5:43pm: Diannep: I was searching for the right verse to share for our group. For me, the friendship we all built here is somewhat of a lifeline. I remember a few days ago, feeling down, lonely and sad. Needing prayers or just someone to talk to that understand. Our group lift me up.. we are all building a multiple-braided cord of life long friendship.
Ecclesiastes 4:9–12

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. (NLT)

Comment by The Momma on June 3, 2011 at 5:40pm: Sonie- that is too funny. I thought the exact same thing..I have read some posts that commented that handwriting improved..SO...The same person who wrote my SR's letter wrote yours! Do they teach them handwriting?? ha I will ask too...will be interesting.

Comment by My Bernie Ship 3 Division 222 on June 3, 2011 at 5:33pm: Anymore ship3division 222 out there

Comment by seabee_wife92 on June 3, 2011 at 5:26pm: Thank you joels rackie!
