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 KDB1 on January 7, 2011 at 5:50pm: Short call but WONDERFUL! So glad to hear his voice! He sounded upbeat and positvie. Doing well on tests. My husband was on the line at the same time so he kept asking questions too. I just wanted my son to talk and me listen so I could hear his voice for a longer period of time! :( Hope you all start getting calls soon too! :) Im gonna go do my HAPPY DANCE now! :)

Comment by KDB1 on January 7, 2011 at 5:36pm: On phone with MY BOY! Ship 09 DIV 071! Be Back SHortly!

Comment by William in Nashua on January 7, 2011 at 4:25pm: If their Day 1-1 was on 12/20/2010 shouldn't that make today the last day of week 3 (not week 2)?

The week of Dec 13-17 was their P-days.

I had heard Div 071 did their Christmas dinner on the 24th and treated Christmas like just a normal training day.

Comment by SailorsWife'10 on January 7, 2011 at 3:34pm: Good morning ladies, this is now technically the end of week 2. We should be receiving a phone call next week for week 3!

Comment by texasmom Prototype on January 7, 2011 at 1:59pm: Crazee_Kat, not a peep about phone calls. I keep hoping.

Comment by crazee_kat (Ship 09, Div 071) on January 7, 2011 at 11:48am: Did any of them mention when they might get to call again...

Comment by KDB1 on January 7, 2011 at 8:09am: Good Morning! Another day closer to PIR! :)

Comment by texasmom Prototype on January 7, 2011 at 12:51am: Yeah! I just got a letter from my son. He is in much better spirits. He had his wisdom teeth pulled and got to sleep for 3 days. I think the sleep is what really helped. He did mention two tricks that he learned that one was particularly funny. The first was to eat tons of pb to help with the sore muscles but the funniest is that he sleeps on top of his made up bed sheets so that it is easier to make up the bed in the morning. He is begging for comics and news (which I have been sending him) and also pages from a book he was reading. He is really bored. I'm also putting in puzzles that someone recommended from the PIR website.

He also mentioned that last Monday was 2-1. Weapons should be next week.

CrazeeKat, you should be getting your letter soon, you are just a little farther away than I am.

Comment by William in Nashua on January 7, 2011 at 12:03am: My son is also going to nuke school Ship 09 Div 071 I wonder if the nukes know each other.
