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 lori on April 26, 2010 at 6:04pm: Oh Candy- that's just wonderful! I'm thrilled you got his call. Here I was thinking it would only be on a weekend. So it really can happen any time.
Jamel- that is great- finally! And 7 letters at once! I'm hoping Marilyn has the same report soon.

Comment by lori on April 26, 2010 at 5:42pm: the only consolation i've had from NO phone call this weekend is- I haven't MISSED one! i rationalize these things!
So Tina and Dawn- guess we just wait- like good Navy moms do!
I'm thinking if I got a letter last thur then MAYBE this thurs...
Rachel- you have had no letters at all? There are quite a few who haven't- Jamel, Marilyn, to name the ones right off the top of my head-praying that you all will get several at one time- it would seem like Christmas then!
Stay in touch

Comment by Jamel on April 26, 2010 at 5:30pm: Just recieved 7 letters from my lady she is the athletic petty officer so each day is going by fast she say it's very tiring an they are sending people home she also got her wisdom theeth pulled... Ship 7/197 is always in trouble because the women there can't keep there mouth shut but she is doin good an thanks for the support

Comment by ColoAProudSailorMom on April 26, 2010 at 4:23pm: Hi Rachel-I wish I could tell you some wonderful thing my kid said to allow you to share in the BC experience, but as they say in poker, I got nothin'. Surely, something will come this week, right?

There is a camp ground listed in the advertising brochure. Try www.mwrgl.com. I don't know if you have to already be active or retired military to use it, but I'm sure the site will tell you.

Good Luck, and keep us posted about letters and phone calls.
Tina

Comment by DawnC on April 26, 2010 at 4:16pm: Hi Ladies, I have not received a phone call yet either. I was hoping for one this weekend, but no. Just want to hear his voice. I will live by the mail box this week for my second letter - hopefully my son answers all my questions...Lori - let me know about your letter this week too. Take care, Many blessings DawnC

Comment by NASmom on April 25, 2010 at 4:36pm: We will be staying at the Navy Lodge for graduation May 27. Which airport is best?

How much for shuttle, does anyone know?

Comment by lori on April 25, 2010 at 4:11pm: yeah- my phone hasn't left my side- just waiting and hoping. I guess if nothing by 10:00 EST , there it will be 9:00, I'll give up for this weekend. Mind you I'd rather not get a call that miss a call!

Comment by Jill-FLA-Proud Mom of a Sailor on April 25, 2010 at 3:29pm: For those of us, hoping for calls....I have read that some calls have come during the weekdays however, in one of Chris' letters, he said he was hoping to be able to call this weekend soooooo, I was thinking since we have not heard yet, Sunday afternoon is still a possibility. My fingers are crossed for me and you all!!

Comment by NASmom on April 25, 2010 at 2:40pm: Do they call on Sundays or weekdays? My son is on ship7 division 198. He made very short 2 minute calls twice to us this week. No long calls though.
