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 mom21sailor on August 10, 2011 at 4:38pm: Just got a phone call, I am on top of the world, he is happy. Likes his division, did not do well on the PT test today though. So he will have to work on the run. He says the food is really good. He missed mail call the other day.

Comment by mom21sailor on August 10, 2011 at 4:35pm: Thank you Diane

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on August 10, 2011 at 4:16pm: Something to check on--look at the discussion group for your sailor's division. Are other moms getting mail? If not, it may be that someone in that division has not learned to work as a team. They have maybe not been awarded time to write or call. If others in the division are getting mail, it may be that your kid is just not writing. I do know of an instructor or two that will walk by recruits and whisper, "Write your mother!" I can't imagine any of your kids choosing not to write, however it has happened. I have an EVIL solution, but it's only if your kid is really being a brat.

Comment by danni1226 on August 10, 2011 at 3:53pm: My fiance is SHIP 07 DIV 304 PIR 9/16/11 I can't wait, miss him so much!

Comment by diannep on August 10, 2011 at 3:47pm: The original form letter (giving you SR's address, etc) is all you will get in the mail from RTC. It should contain some info about grad (hotels and such) I understand...my son neglected to put this in MY form letter when he mailed it....sigh....There will be no graduation info mailing, no tickets (they go by the names on the list that your SR can update a couple of weeks before PIR)...so all the info you need should be in the form letter...or on this site! Just ask if you need more!

Comment by mom21sailor on August 10, 2011 at 3:44pm: Can anyone tell me if we receive the graduation information in the mail, and if so when does it normally come?

Thanks

Comment by Aproudmom on August 10, 2011 at 3:41pm: What a disappointment only a grocery store flyer in the mail today.

Comment by shoprat on August 10, 2011 at 3:14pm: I got two letters in one envelope today!!! My daughter is doing well, passed the swim test and is sounding pretty upbeat. I am sooo h

appy to have heard from her!

Comment by Kelseykat2 (07/307) on August 10, 2011 at 1:37pm: Praying for a phone call in the next few days. :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 10, 2011 at 11:51am: firewife5, if you look directly above the Comment Wall on here, you will see Discussion groups. If you go into the discussion group for your division, you may find some more ladies from your group. If you don't see a discussion for your ship/division, then you can start one. Hopefully then the ladies from that division will find you.
