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 mamabeans on March 10, 2012 at 9:56pm: Oh I def feel ya'll about the gf! My son (my one and only child) has his first real gf now. It was soooo very hard at first and I really had an issue but then I just had to embrace it! He knows though that I will always be there for him and I am sure that all of your sons/daughters know the same thing! Keep ur chin up mama bears!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 10, 2012 at 9:02pm: :'( I know mammas...it's hard but very common for those first calls and letters to go to GF first...

Comment by proudmom on March 10, 2012 at 8:38pm: littleone68 sorry that you have not received a letter yet either..I'm in the same boat my son's girlfriend is on spring break to so I don't know if he sent her a letter. We always knew someday a special young lady would come before us but geeeezzz really now...why now of all times..LOL You are right though, he knows how strong you are and I am sure the letters will be in the mail to you any day now.

Comment by littleone68 on March 10, 2012 at 8:14pm: no letter here either. tho his gf said he told her that she should have one waiting when she gets back to school on monday (she is on spring break from college this week)... just a good think i like her so much. tho i must admit i am a bit annoyed she is getting all the calls and letters. i know in a way it is actually a compliment to me.... i am always the "rock" of the family. with his limited time to write he knows i am stronger than she is and will worry less if i don't hear.

Great!! I still haven't received a letter yet, so let's hope for phone calls. I am in Florida though so I am not sure how long the mail will take, I know the form letter was 4 or 5 days from the postmark. If you get a call make sure you share the news we love calls & letters no matter who gets them, it is alway happy news!!!

Comment by k_peirce (AD wife) on March 10, 2012 at 7:41pm: proudmom,

still no idea what a rifle division is, but my husband told me to expect a phone call sometime this weekend in his letters, so hopefully ill get a phonecall today and will get to ask him!

Comment by proudmom on March 10, 2012 at 7:15pm: Flights & car all booked!!! We will be arriving early (O'Hare @ 9am) on 4/12, any ideas what we can do all day before the meet & greets??

Comment by From WA: NOP Leanne on March 10, 2012 at 3:37pm: proudmom- LOL I know that one bet they are missing those video games right about now ! Maybe the letters will arrive today ! (positive thinking)

Comment by proudmom on March 10, 2012 at 3:27pm: Yes mamabeans Thank you for starting the group!! Our boys are there learning to work as a team, to support each other and it is great that we are here doing the same thing!
