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."

@Coltens Mom - yippie for clearing FFD and returning to DIV! PIR is an amazing event that you will NEVER forget :-)

@ProudNavyMom ~ normally you won't reveive the first letter until about the 4 week. They usually arrive on Thursday since the time for writting for most DIV is Sunday mornings. Prayers for letters in your mailbox soon and postive communications from your SR, be strong!

Comment by ProudNavyMom on October 21, 2011 at 8:40am: Good morning Ladies!!!! Well, I'm with all of your that are still waiting on the first phone call and first letter from your SR! It's only been 2 weeks since he left, but it seems like a long time ago! I miss him and hope the letters start coming soon. I've written him a bunch so far. I hope he's getting them. I book our flights yesterday to go to PIR!! I can't wait to see him and give him a great big hug!!

Comment by Colten's Mom-Nuke A school 1207A on October 20, 2011 at 11:12pm: Colten was cleared FFD yesterday in back in a Div. and will PIR on 11/4 Thanks for all of your prayers and support through this journey.

Comment by Brenda Sue on October 20, 2011 at 6:20pm: debschnell - I would try to stay on base! probably cheaper and I bet we could find someone to check you in. Not sure the name of the hotel - check out the group San Antonio MA's. They talk about it htere.

Donna - sounds good - just tell us where! I don't know where would be a good place to leave a car for a few hours at that intersection - but I bet anywhere would be fine!

Comment by debschnell on October 20, 2011 at 9:55am: Any suggestions for hotels/motels in SA?

Comment by debschnell on October 20, 2011 at 9:45am: Eaglemom --- I spent the first week in August in the hospital with a serious kidney infection. It takes awhile to get back to normal, and I'm feeling fine now. Just rest as much as you can. Take care.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on October 19, 2011 at 11:43pm: sbarber - yes I saw that. That is what prompted my questions about how to find places to tell my family that they can take him to eat since they live 3 hours away and aren't familiar with the area. Thanks!

Comment by sbarber on October 19, 2011 at 11:32pm: @ProudNavyMom: Did you see the RTC Facebook page today they had all of that information there if you didn't here it is I think it will help you out alot:

Comment by Queenjailyle on October 19, 2011 at 11:27pm: Brendasue-Found the invite for the dinner, it doesn't say anything about cost. Will have to check the budget but would love for my son to have the chance to go.
