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 atc.mom(7/272) on July 17, 2011 at 6:21pm: my uncle is a retired Marine that has stayed at Navy/military bases for leisure alot, but never GL. has any ever stayed at the Navy Lodge in GL before?

Comment by balsuz Kevin's mom :) on July 17, 2011 at 5:56pm: Hi All! I am still looking for SR's family of Ship 07 DIV 271

I have received two responses. :) Anyhow, I did receive my first "real" letter on Friday & I live in Houston, TX. Just in case that helps anyone out there. I am learning from all the wonderful "veteran" N4M's that no news is good news. It is that unexpected phone call we do not want. :)

I am so proud of my son just as we all are of our SR's! :)

Comment by 1DYBUGs Mom/Dana - S9/D280 on July 17, 2011 at 5:53pm: Sharon, I am in VA on the East coast. My daughter arrived at GL on 07/06. I got her box on Tuesday the 12th, and I didn't get the form letter until the 15th. I would bet you get your mail first. lol

Comment by rhonda121199 (Div 269) on July 17, 2011 at 5:30pm: I saw on the RTC discussion board for Division 269 that some of the moms received letters yesterday (saturday).....still anxiously waiting for mine.

Comment by diannep on July 17, 2011 at 3:03pm: Welcome, Allie!

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 17, 2011 at 3:02pm: Sharon, Friday was our letter day. I live out on the Plains so that is also a major factor in when I get mail.

Comment by SailorsCupcake Div269 on July 17, 2011 at 2:03pm: Thanks!!! I'm still hangin on... I hope everyone else has been getting their letters! :)

Comment by diannep on July 17, 2011 at 2:02pm: My letter day was Thurs when my son was there...we are in S. FL.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 17, 2011 at 1:47pm: Sailor'sCupcake, I hope you get a letter real soon.

Yes it depends on where in America you live as to what day you will get your letters. I live in Colorado so my letters would arrive at least a day later than those on the East Coast.

Comment by Jeannie on July 17, 2011 at 8:18am: Letters are starting to come in for PIR 8-26!!! Those of you who havent gotten one yet, its coming!!!! Sometimes I think mail takes diff times to get to us scattered all over!!
