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 m'smom on August 12, 2010 at 4:15pm: I was just re-reading M's letter for the 20th time. It struck me that I may have made a mistake..so I checked my post which is 15 pages back. M had actually written that 285 was doing BS 21 on the 24th-25th. Sorry ladies. I have double checked the other dates and there were no other mistakes on my part.

Comment by tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on August 12, 2010 at 4:13pm: Sitting on pins and needles hoping they would be allowed to call today.

Thanks for your well wishes for James healing ladies. ;-)
I am now anxious to hear from him, and hoping his doctor appt. goes well on Monday.

Our SR's are so close to graduating. Wishin' all of them health and strength to push on through.

So glad all of you are here.

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on August 12, 2010 at 3:54pm: joey's mom I think we are all feeling what you are feeling...I myself do not want to work anymore than I have to. Just remember, that if your recruit is grad and go-they might not leave until Saturday, so that gives alot of time on friday after graduation--it is amazing how much one can fit in so little time--time becomes very precious and you do learn to spend it very wisely. Additionally, there will be lots of time you can spend with your recruit at the airport...and just maybe their flight will be delayed and you will have alittle more time.

I am writing up to the 18th. I know that it may be cutting it close...but it helps keep me sane. Maybe I'll beat the last letter up there :-)

Comment by djloch (Zac's Mom) on August 12, 2010 at 3:52pm: joeysmom-- I did exactly the same thing. I sent a proud of you card inside one that said DO NOT OPEN til.. And Im like you, Im so excited if my husband had said 'lets go' today I'd loaded up and went..LOL
charliesmom--your welcome!! Im going to look for you and your boy at grad and give him a big PROUD of YOU hug for hanging in there!

Comment by Charlie's Desertmom on August 12, 2010 at 3:32pm: thank u zachs mom.i will send more mail tomorrow:):)

Comment by Charlie's Desertmom on August 12, 2010 at 3:31pm: shannong they said all the divisions are g&G.he is 287.no info on individual recruits

Comment by JoeysmomAOVFA22 on August 12, 2010 at 3:29pm: I hope we get a call. I could get alot of answers out of him. It 3:24 EST here now and in 2 weeks will be in GREAT LAKES!!! I seriously am have a hard time working. I bought a bunch of cards today and mailed them out. I sent him one to open after BATTLESTATIONS to congratulate him on becoming a sailor. I wrote on the back of the envelope to save and not read till then.
I really cannot wait. I want to see my son.

Comment by djloch (Zac's Mom) on August 12, 2010 at 3:23pm: charliemom--I think most all of us are cutting off our letters the 15th. That should be about right cause they wont get mail til after battlestations and that be the 25th.
cathyj--LOL..I know. I actually caught myself thinking how will I check my N4M while up there and then I thought 'hey we'll all be there" . :-D
