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 Julie on August 12, 2011 at 7:52pm: Aww, well thats good! Im happy to hear your SR is getting through okay. I bet everyone has their troubles though. But Im glad you got to hear from your loved one. (:

Comment by cluebee on August 12, 2011 at 7:48pm: Mine loved the pictures I sent to him. He says he looks at them every night before he goes to bed. I have heard from mine. I got a call yesterday and a letter today. At this point, though, this letter could have stayed at Great Lakes.

Comment by Julie on August 12, 2011 at 7:44pm: Haha lets hope so! I sent my SR a letter today regardless that I haven't gotten one from him. I sent him pictures of his family and of mine to have to help keep his spirits up. Not sure what else I can send him besides pictures. Better than nothing I guess. Have you heard from your SR cluebee? (:

Comment by cluebee on August 12, 2011 at 7:35pm: No, there are a few bad ones in every bunch - haha! I am sure that they just mailed their letters later than others for one reason or another. Your letter is on its way, I am sure! :)

Comment by Julie on August 12, 2011 at 7:25pm: From what it sounds like, alot of families with loved ones in divsion 312 haven't gotten letters. Maybe this is the division that is getting into trouble. I hear there are a few people in bc that can't keep their mouth shut and is getting the whole division into trouble. Maybe its our division? I hope not.

@John's Mom- I still haven't gotten a letter. I've been waiting for awhile. Let me know if you hear anything, and I will do the same for you. And I haven't heard anything about a phone call yet either. When my SR called me when he first got there he said he would be calling me somewhere around the 3 weekend, which would be this weekend, so I'll keep my phone glued to my side.

Comment by Pennie on August 12, 2011 at 6:45pm: iMy husband got a call! My phone didn't ring I missed his call. Thank goodness he got to call his dad. So sad my phone did not ring.

Comment by tygerh on August 12, 2011 at 6:43pm: This must be your lucky day KimmieM! Your patience (and stalking) paid off!!!

Comment by proudmom (311)(HS Corpsman mom) on August 12, 2011 at 6:43pm: I am so upset!! I didn't get a letter. I never thought I would getting the mail.. What would the answer be if others in my son's divison received letter and I didn't? It is really great to hear others getting letters and calls. Div 312 I believe is the brother div of my son's division.
