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 Amber-Brad's mom on September 2, 2010 at 3:38pm
My son has OC spray 2 morrow, I hope he does well, some fail and have do compleate this phase of A school over again, yuck. It hurts bad enough the first time, let alone having to do it again, ouch!!!
Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 31, 2010 at 7:42pm
I love this new phase because I can talk to him everyday and now that he got his laptop we get to skype often so I can actually see him "live"! He gave me a tour of his dorm the other day which was cute and I love the text messages in the morning before he goes to class and then after class :)
I am planning on going to go see him the first weekend of October...hopefully it all works out. I should probably start looking at flights as of now

I have been loving the freedom to talk everynight and say "Good Night." I love the random texts too and the picture texts! Since we didn't get to see our Sailors in their NWU's over liberty weekend I wanted to see him in that uniform so he sent me a picture text, I love it! He also sent me some pics of his dorm so I could picture where he is living which really helps :) Overall, phone calls and texts win over letters...but letters are fun because there is just something exciting (and a bit romantic) about getting snail mail these days in such a technological world :)
Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 30, 2010 at 9:24pm
I miss letters too, But phone calls and texting is great, he got his phone today!!!
Comment by kwooley5 (ship06div940) on August 30, 2010 at 2:30pm
I totally miss letters! But I know that's a lot more time consuming and my sailor doesn't seem to have time for that. He doesn't have his cell phone just yet but he gets on facebook there and calls occasionally! Can't wait for him to get his phone so I can get random texts! :)
Comment by Sailor's Sweetheart on August 30, 2010 at 1:29am
So, what is everyone thinking of this phase of Navy life? Being able to talk as often as you would like with your Sailor? Does anyone miss getting letters as often as when they were in boot camp?
