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 crystaldj1972 6/915 on January 23, 2010 at 11:25am: I received the only phone call and the only letter my son has sent out. Now I want the real phone call... God forgive me for being greedy...

Comment by becka on January 23, 2010 at 2:44am: Hello Ladies I am so glad everyone is getting letters was doing good till dang near tackled the mailman this morning for him to say nothing but junk mail and I just went numb ....my poor lil mail man I 'm sure thinks I am his new stalker .... just hope he does not ask for a transfer...lol

Comment by bahkmom09/86 on January 23, 2010 at 12:37am: We got two single page letters today and my son's girlfriend said she also got a letter....about 3 pages long. My son also sounds upbeat....says food is not bad, they do lots of PT but not as bad as he was expecting. Now, I can't wait for aphone call

Comment by RicksWifeAmber on January 22, 2010 at 10:35pm: Thank you LORD! I got 2 letters today in one envelope! I was cryin' all kinda tears! He sounded a little homesick but the first few weeks are always the hardest. I feel so much better now! He said if every one in Ship7 Div105 passed their test this week they would get an hour to call us over the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!! Pray ladies, Pray hard!

To all of you who haven't received letters yet, may the mailman be kind to you tomorrow! Hang in there!

Comment by dreams on January 22, 2010 at 9:40pm: sarah's mom - hang in there...hopefully you'll get one tomorrow.... It's been a long time since I've watched for the mailman like I do these last 3 weeks! Just keep writing...they need those letters worse than we do.

Comment by dreams on January 22, 2010 at 9:38pm: cudawn -- that's a great idea getting all his friends to write notes and then including them all in a big envelope...
keljacmom -- i know it's hard not to be upset, but think how upset your son must feel to finally get to call and nobody answers...I'm hoping he calls you the next chance he gets! :)

Comment by Debbie on January 22, 2010 at 9:25pm: Nothing from my Matthew yet.....but I am sooo happy for all of you that have heard from their kids/hubbies. My son was NEVER much of a writer - it is kinfd of a struggle for him to write anything!!! But I am hopeful that he will forward a note shortly.
DIDDRAA - that wisdom teeth thing has me worried. My son has 1 remaining ( -was left cuz root was wrapped around the facial nerve) so I really don't want them to try to remove it.

Comment by dreams on January 22, 2010 at 6:42pm: Yes Bittersweetmomma it is!

Angel, I guess I'm lucky with respect to no girlfriend to have to share with.They broke up a few months before he left. But hopefully she'll share with you and you can become closer.. My son let me know that he really really misses our dog the most! hmmmmm guess I know where I rank! :) I'll keep my fingers crossed that Angel gets a letter soon!

Comment by dreams on January 22, 2010 at 6:17pm: Got a letter today too!!!!! He sounds upbeat and asked alot of questions about how everyone is. He said that we should go ahead and write as much as we can...doesn't sound like he's gotten any of our letters yet...(?) :( . He said he might be able to take leave before he goes on to his next phase...but I thought I read somewhere that they don't get leave after boot campt (except for around holidays)..does anyone know the policy on this?
He said he has blisters on his feet because they march all the time in their boots. He said they don't yell too much if you do what you're told to do...(sounds a little bit like home, huh?) All in all - a great letter (short), but I'm happy with it.... I'm so glad to hear you other ladies are getting mail today too!
