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 Jill-FLA-Proud Mom of a Sailor on April 25, 2010 at 2:19pm: It is still early today....I read somewhere that the calls can come mid to late afternoon. I am not sure how accurate that is but there is still a lot of hope for news today via Ma Bell!! Lets stay hopeful!

Comment by bryters ATI Whidbey Island on April 25, 2010 at 2:11pm: This waiting is so hard. I keep telling myself no calls until next weekend, but my heart is saying please phone ring please... My husband was in the Navy, so I'm not worried I know they will take care of them. I just want to hear his voice. and calling his cell phone only helps so much.

Comment by Rachel_2010(recruit kesh) on April 25, 2010 at 2:04pm: i did not get no letter nor calls from my daughter i am starting to get concern...she is on ship 7 div 198,hope i hear something soon...making me nervous!!!

Comment by Jill-FLA-Proud Mom of a Sailor on April 25, 2010 at 10:48am: That's pretty funny about the letter being addressed to himself. Well, funny now, that you know the reason. It just goes to show you how exhausted all these recruits are. But it does and will improve. Each day we are one day closer! Whew.....I can not wait for them to get through this.

Comment by Jill-FLA-Proud Mom of a Sailor on April 25, 2010 at 10:45am: Tina, Chris' 2nd letter was more positive than the first. Morale was definately low in the first. Day by day, things WILL IMPROVE for these guys/gals. Lets all keep the faith and keep them going strong!

Comment by Jill-FLA-Proud Mom of a Sailor on April 25, 2010 at 10:43am: I am hoping that we all get calls TODAY!!!! 45 minutes - I can't believe it.....that is so great....I will have to keep it together so I don't CRY the whole time and waste the call.

Comment by Jennifer on April 25, 2010 at 9:33am: YAY!!! Congrats,I hope I get one today

Comment by bryters ATI Whidbey Island on April 24, 2010 at 7:32pm: I need to work harder at being patient. That was never a strong point for me. This site has been a god send. I'd really go nuts without it.

Comment by ColoAProudSailorMom on April 24, 2010 at 6:43pm: Bryters-
Letter #2 sounded marginally better than #1 - they were written one day apart. I'm getting lots of practice at "Marilyn-ing" (thinking positively)!
