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 Jakesmom on April 22, 2010 at 11:09am: Alana, My son is also in ship 14/div 196. I got a very short but sweet letter yesterday. He wrote it while he was in church. I knew before he left that the members in our church on base would supply him with paper, envelopes and stamps so the kids can write while there so I encouraged him when he could to go to church. He didn't give me much information but sounded okay. He did say he might be able to call soon and will only write on Sunday.

And yes the first letter is as good as they say.......AMAZING!!!

Comment by michaelsmom(ship14/div195) on April 22, 2010 at 10:56am: I got my letter from Michael yesterday was soooo happy to hear from him. Said the last two weeks he couldn't begin to describe in his letter would fill me in at graduation. also said half of his division had to get their wisdom teeth cut out lol was missing everybody at home and was counting down the days till graduation.

Comment by lori on April 22, 2010 at 10:10am: Alanna and Candy- I am so with you on this!! Today just HAS to be the day- right? if they wrote on Sun- mailed it Mon then TODAY will bring it!
I need something, like you Alanna I feel any little tidbit at this point would go along way to relieving this anxiety. Let us know when you get something.

Comment by Alanna on April 22, 2010 at 1:37am: My son's in Ship14Div196. Has anyone received a phone call, besides the one we got when they arrived? Or has anyone received any personal letters from their son/daughter? Would love to hear my son's voice....sigh....miss him so much.

Comment by LindaTX-Proud Mom of Salior on April 21, 2010 at 10:56pm: CarolynK- I got the info from my son's letter. I don't know how to PM but would be glad to if you can tell me how. I only check this once a day usually late.

Comment by ColoAProudSailorMom on April 21, 2010 at 10:56pm: Hi Kim!
Sounds like your boy planned well, and knew what to expect. I heard some stories of kids wearing old clothes and just throwing them away. I don't know about the charity angle. Those folks who have gotten letters may have updates to share-

Comment by ColoAProudSailorMom on April 21, 2010 at 10:04pm: Hi Schellie-
I'm guessing that Aus' GF will get a letter before I do, but 7?!? Your boy can write! We did not use the MWR site for travel stuff, probably because I forgot to tell my husband. We booked directly with Frontier and the Comfort Inn in Gurnee Mills. I had to email the recruiter to find out about the G&G thing. He was able to provide the information.

Comment by Schellie-mom -of-a sailor on April 21, 2010 at 9:58pm: My son's girlfriend got 7 letters today and none for his mom :( oh well I am sure he will send me one soon. Has anyone used the MWR site for airline tickets? I live in Washington State and looking to fly in on the 26th. How would I know if my son is a Grad and Go?

Comment by bryters ATI Whidbey Island on April 21, 2010 at 9:30pm: Yes I could bearly read it. It was very sloppy and pretty short. He just wanted to be sure we knew when PIR was, and his butt hurt from the shots. He said the first couple of days they didn't get much sleep, he really sounded positive.

Comment by Jennifer on April 21, 2010 at 9:11pm: YAY got three letters. 17 pages long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He don't have to leave for A school till that Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY
