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 trapier on August 11, 2011 at 7:36pm: We got letters today too!! Our SR sounds so pumped. She said she did really well during Hell Week....all 5's for her inspections. She did not give the BS date, hopefully we will get that from her this weekend when she calls!! (Praying). I also will be keeping my phone close at hand. Hope everyone else received letters as well. I think i am as emotional now as i was when she left. I know it is just a matter of days before we can hug a Sailor.

Comment by diannep on August 11, 2011 at 5:51pm: SailorBrittysMom: Thanks so much for the BS date, which confirmed what another mom had sent for those divisions.

Kira'sMom: Still need 941's BattleStations date if your daughter says anything!

Brenda, I have the date for 275/276 now. As soon as I get 941's date, I can send out the full schedule to all.

Comment by Kira's mom Ship 02 Div 941 on August 11, 2011 at 4:43pm: Good news for Div 941! Letters should be coming soon if you haven't received them today. I got 3 letters today! My SR told me that they can write letters 3 times a week but can only mail them on Sundays. She also asked for her contacts, shampoo, bodywash, and makeup. I had already mailed the contacts today, so was relieved that she was requesting them because I didn't want to get her in trouble. She sounds great and said hell week was actually her best week there so far.

Comment by trapier on August 11, 2011 at 3:33pm: I do hope our SR's 941 are not getting in a lot of trouble. I am praying they are keeping them so busy that they don't have time to think about anything else, other than graduating. I am also praying for a phone call this week. We have not spoken to her one time in 7 weeks. :( We have missed her phone call 3 times!!!

Comment by Brenda72 on August 11, 2011 at 12:03pm: I don't have a date either for 275...so I am waiting as well.

Comment by diannep on August 11, 2011 at 11:57am: Thanks, trapier. I had received a date from another lady on here for 941, but I'm not sure it is correct because it made too many divisions going on that one night.

Just message me or the group when you hear something! Thanks!

Sandi, I was just messaged a tentative date for 275/276 so it would be great it you hear and can confirm that.

Thanks, ladies!

Comment by trapier on August 11, 2011 at 11:49am: Oh yeah, our SR is 941, forgot to mention that.

Comment by trapier on August 11, 2011 at 11:47am: Dianne, hopefully we receive SR mail today too. I have asked her for her dates. I will let you know, if she tells us in her letter. I would rather ask her on the phone on Sunday, but who knows if they will get phone privileges??? Thanks for your updates!!

Comment by diannep on August 11, 2011 at 11:20am: Still need BattleStations dates from 941 and 275/276. Then our schedule is complete! Please message if you have any.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 11, 2011 at 7:49am: I would go ahead and send the contacts if it was me personally. Just write on the outside of the package what it is (Contacts for PIR and pictures) If you wait too long she won't have them in time for pictures. They don't get in trouble for receiving these. They may get asked if the asked someone to send them and when they say no sir they usually say ahhhh, that Navy for Moms site again, lol
