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 proud2baNavyMom on August 23, 2011 at 10:03pm: Betsy, I did not get to have a chance for the kid in a box to affect me too much my husband knew how hard it would be on me to open it so he opened it before I got home. I found it on our bed already gone through LOL

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 23, 2011 at 10:03pm: Welcome new moms if I have missed anyone I am sorry we are growing and it is hard to keep up. MichiganNavyMom, I am planning on trying to get the info to try and have a meet and greet during the weekend of PIR but it is going to depend on my SR status as to when he leaves for A school much like your probably will as well. If nothing else maybe we can get together just to say hi that weekend.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 23, 2011 at 9:44pm: ((hugs)) ladies. The box is a hard one to get through.

Comment by Lisa on August 23, 2011 at 9:34pm: I have received the letter and the box. I cried for several hours. Still does not seem possible.

Comment by donnac (ship 02 div 948) on August 23, 2011 at 9:32pm: Hi....I finally received the "box", I cried but was also happy to receive something of his. I also received a phone call from his recruiter saying he is on ship# 02 div#948. But hearing all the past comments here I think I still need to wait for the "letter".

Comment by MichiganNavyMom-Ship 4/Div. 341 on August 23, 2011 at 9:22pm: Lol...proud2baNavyMom...my SR was to do the same thing. I gave him three or four names. He'll never remember with everything he is going through. I will "remind" him in a letter.

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 23, 2011 at 9:21pm: julie_silva so glad to hear you also got your box. Seems like most of us are now waiting for the letter.

Comment by navymom_2011 on August 23, 2011 at 8:47pm: I finally received "The Box"!! Tough moment for me. As I opened it I was able to smell his scent!! :( Now for the Form Letter!

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 23, 2011 at 8:24pm: MichiganNavyMom glad to hear you got your box. I like you am waiting for the letter and hoping he is in with some of the other moms. My SR was going to try to look for your SR yeah right I am sure they are entirely too busy to try to find someone. LOL

Comment by MichiganNavyMom-Ship 4/Div. 341 on August 23, 2011 at 8:01pm: Got the "box" today...now patiently (not really) waiting for the letter. Can't wait for an address and also excited to see if my son is in the same division as some of the others on this board. In a good mood, this is one step closer...
