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 diannep on August 17, 2011 at 2:58pm: The "extras" at PIR will get in...but may have to wait until those on the lists are seated....but this is an average-size group so there is space. So I say...bring them!

Milomom: I'm not sure I would tell him about his sisters not coming nor his grandmother right now. It may upset him and take his focus off of bootcamp. Probably better to let him know after BattleStations in a phone call. Who knows? Maybe things will "change" by then anyway. He will "update" his list about 2 weeks before PIR --- but your hubby could get in as an "extra." If you don't think he would be disappointed that the ladies aren't coming, you could write him in a few weeks to let him know so he can change the list.

I sure wish the 3 ladies would go though...because they won't regret it....it is a phenomenal experience! Remind your daughters that there are lots of cute sailors there too! :-) If he doesn't change his list, your hubby should still get in. There will be room.

Comment by aggiemom (Corpsman A School) on August 17, 2011 at 2:54pm: Cathyraz - I live in Mayberry too - a town of about 400 people that I grew up in, my husband grew up in and then we moved there when we got married 23 years ago. So, everyone knows everyone!!! Good and bad with that - but mostly good. Lots of "townies" are waiting for word from him - not just us!

Comment by cathyraz on August 17, 2011 at 2:52pm: Great news! My letter arrived along with my adorable mailman's announcement as he walked up to my door,"YES! It's here! Yay!" and proceeded to hug me as I cried! I know I live in "Mayberry"! In a nutshell....My son is so so happy! Wanted to share my joy with you all!!!!

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on August 17, 2011 at 2:39pm: Aww! So happy for you!! Did you cry when you saw them? I probably will

Comment by aggiemom (Corpsman A School) on August 17, 2011 at 2:29pm: I'm running to my mailbox when I get home. It won't be pretty - but I will run!

Comment by 1stlove (02/946) on August 17, 2011 at 2:24pm: EVERYONE CAUGHT THAT RIGHT ALYSSA GOT TWO LETTERS TODAY.....SO EXCITING......

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on August 17, 2011 at 2:08pm: I sent 3 yesterday to him, one last Friday . I want one sooo bad

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on August 17, 2011 at 1:59pm: Great info. We must all be in the same sticky situation. My SR's 4, his GF, best friend, me and his dad. Gma took it well, his father's wife.. Not so much. We all get along well so we are hoping there will be room for her. If not well, I'm just glad I didn't have to chose the 4
