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 proudmom (311)(HS Corpsman mom) on August 13, 2011 at 1:37pm: Julie - His dad was in the Army and tried showing him but my son didn't really want to learn....lol

Comment by Julie on August 13, 2011 at 1:02pm: I'm happy for you proudmom! Im glad you finally got to hear from your SR. Mine is in div 312, so since its the brother division, I'm hoping to receive my first letter today. I heard from previous people that bedsheets tend to be a pain in the rear, especially when they do it so many times and yet they "can't get it right". Hope you get a phone call soon. I hear from many that alot of calls will be made today and tomorrow. Hope its true!

Comment by proudmom (311)(HS Corpsman mom) on August 13, 2011 at 12:53pm: Hey everyone... I just got a letter from my son and it is more than one line.... He sounds very up beat. Past his first PFA and he said the hardest part is folding the sheets at a 45 degree angle...He hated to make his bed before.He said he likes his hair short and he might keep it like that way.. He had very long hair going though high school. I don't think he has much of a choice at least for the next 5 years...lol

Comment by diannep on August 13, 2011 at 10:32am: Amom: Hit VIEW ALL above in the discussions and see if any of the info you can't LINK is up there by fireteam. She has posted alot of info up there...most of it back on the later pages in the discussions.

Comment by Tink on August 13, 2011 at 9:23am: Thank you, Anita. Very moving words you wrote! Now you made me cry AGAIN! I don't remember the last time I cried this much. 34 more days!!!!

Comment by angelle3 (Ship 12 / Div 310) on August 13, 2011 at 7:52am: Good Morning! I'm heading out to my son's travel baseball tournament. I am so glad Fall Ball is starting...it will keep me busy and help the time go faster! Praying our SR's start getting their mail this weekend!!!

Comment by shoprat on August 13, 2011 at 7:37am: Thank you anita! I read the instructions from RTC several times and the info. never sunk in; sometimes lately I think my brain has stopped working! I'll definetly give it a shot!

Comment by Pennie on August 12, 2011 at 11:03pm: KimmieM I asked my hubby since I missed his call and he said that my SR didn't know for sure. I have probably asked my hubby 100 questions about his call.

Comment by diannep on August 12, 2011 at 9:43pm: proudmom: Yes, you are correct: 311/312 are brother divisions. Maybe your letter will come tomorrow? Let's hope!

Comment by Julie on August 12, 2011 at 9:43pm: Lets hope we will be able to get some pictures of our SR's div! And it gives me something to look forward too! :p
