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 navymomsrock on August 17, 2011 at 5:33pm: DRod's Mom - I would be hurt also. Sometimes they just don't think. I'm sorry. Maybe you will get yours soon. I will be thinking of you. I won't be home until later to see if I got a letter or not. All the build up is killing me :)

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on August 17, 2011 at 5:26pm: Disappointed:(( kinda hurt. Not one thing about saying hi to mom or how is mom handling things. I know it is young love but really? I may not b the # 1 women in his life anymore but...would anyone else feel a little hurt or am I just being overly sensitive? Thoughts.

Comment by GlowWormMom on August 17, 2011 at 5:23pm: My daughter arrived on the 8th and is graduating 09/30 as well. Ship 12 Div 235. I have been told that they will just step up the learning process? Anyone else know what we can expect timeline wise? Thank you so much!

Comment by desireenavygf (Ship 11 DIV 322) on August 17, 2011 at 5:01pm: I cant help but to feel disappointed as i got home and no letter in the mail :(

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on August 17, 2011 at 4:04pm: Right! That is exactly my point. She says cuz she sent hers first. Thank the lord I prepared myself for just this situation. I get to read it though

Comment by navymomsrock on August 17, 2011 at 4:00pm: DRod's Mom - Yeah not sure how I would feel about that either :) He should for sure be writing his Mommy first :) At least that is what I told my son :))

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on August 17, 2011 at 3:53pm: A letter came!! But not for me. It was for his girlfriend ( she lives with me) but I get to c it when wrk is done!! Hurry up 3:30. Mixed feelings on this

Comment by cathyraz on August 17, 2011 at 3:48pm: Hi aggiemom! Geneva, IL has 19,000 people & we are 40 miles west of Chicago. We love it here! I am a teacher here so our 3 sons have lived in a "fish bowl" their whole school lives but secretly have loved the attention:-) my gal pals have been awesome & many have sent him cards/letters!
*idea..... I put 3 diff. notecards, along w stamped envelopes wrapped in cute ribbons (20) i put them all in a huge basket and invited my gal pals over for a "girls happy hour" last Thurs. and they each grabbed a "bundle"!
They had to comment that it's the "teacher" in me but I just need some way to do "something" @ a time when we all feel so helpless! :-)

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on August 17, 2011 at 3:19pm: Cathyraz .. That is too funny. Yay you

Comment by 1stlove (02/946) on August 17, 2011 at 3:03pm: CATHYRZ congrats I am so HAPPY for you.........
