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 desireenavygf (Ship 11 DIV 322) on August 18, 2011 at 1:34pm: Omg ladies I am so excited I. Got my first letter today I am so excited I cried the whole time but its tears of love. I love my sr so much. Hope you ladies get your letter today too.

Comment by Micaela (AO Wife) on August 18, 2011 at 1:27pm: P:S Just checked my mail and nothing :(

Comment by Micaela (AO Wife) on August 18, 2011 at 1:01pm: what are these questionnares people are referring to? and where can i find one?

Comment by SonandSea on August 18, 2011 at 12:57pm: Love seeing that 42 days up there!!!! WOO HOO!!

Comment by iwagot on August 18, 2011 at 12:53pm: I got a short letter yesterday. She said several times she hadn't received any letters yet and to have people write. She wrote it on Sunday. Hope she has since received at least some of the multitude I have sent since getting her address. Since it was such a short letter, I'm thinking one of those "boot camp questionnaires" will be good to send.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 18, 2011 at 12:25pm: I have a feeling their are mailman stalkers in this group today. Are you hiding in the bushes or just standing by the box with your hand out waiting? lol. I always sat on my porch swing in the afternoons on Thursdays just waiting for it to finally come and when there was a holiday on Monday and my letter was a day late I thought I would die before Fridays mail came. I hope you all get letters today ;-)

Comment by Micaela (AO Wife) on August 18, 2011 at 11:48am: Leah Proud Mom: I am a wife and not a mom but your comment just made me burst into tears. lol Although I obviously see my husband in a different perspective, I cannot wait to see the transformation. I havent heard anything for more than 2 weeks now but hoping it will be soon......

Comment by 1stlove (02/946) on August 18, 2011 at 11:42am: Navymomsrock Cali girl here I'm hoping today too

Comment by navymomsrock on August 18, 2011 at 10:38am: I didn't get a letter yesterday either. I was so hoping. Oh well..maybe today. I live in California so who knows it might be even longer for us.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 18, 2011 at 9:16am: I totally agree with diannep on the letters. Before my left for BC, he told me to please not write him everyday. But then on the first "real" phone call to me, he said that I was right (I cherish that line :) ) that he did really miss me and that I should write as much as I want. :) He wrote to me once a week and I was very happy with that. I only received my letters on Thursdays, so some letters could very well come today. I'm sure that it does really depend on where you live on when you receive them because I was living in New Mexico at the time. A lot of the women in our PIR group was getting their letters a day or two before me.
