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 momof4 on March 8, 2012 at 7:03pm: What is that area code, again??

Comment by tbone's mom (Ship 04 Div 810) on March 8, 2012 at 6:16pm: Thank you FireTeamLeaderWife for the info again. It makes more sense to me now. Also to proudmom, you will get a letter, I promise. I was feeling the same way up until I recieved my first letter just yesterday!! I now have an appetite again and maybe my hair will stop falling out from the STRESS of not knowing how my son was doing:(( CHEER up buttercup... as we say in our house. LOL

Comment by proudmom on March 8, 2012 at 6:08pm: oh my gosh...nothing again today..I so need a letter or even for his girlfriend to get a letter so I can get some info somewhere:-(

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 8, 2012 at 5:09pm: tbone's mom and Group - Here is the COC (Chain of Command) at RTC for RPO's Recruit Petty Officers.

I think I posted this before but I will do it again as some of you are finding out info from your letters:

Here is a chart of the COC at RTC (Chain of Command):

(Click to open in another page and zoom.)

Here is the link to RTC website that explains all the RPO positions (Recruit Petty Officers):

http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/recruit_petty_officer.asp

Here is a pic of a Collar Device(I belive there are a different number of Chevrons depending on their postition) that the RPO's wear:

On the Chart RCPO(Recruit Chief Petty Officer) = ARPOC, RLPO(Recruit Lead Petty Officer = AROC

But it is too hard to yell... "RRRRCPO or RRRRLPO get your ________ in here"...So ARRRRRRPOOOC and ARRRRROC it is.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 8, 2012 at 5:01pm: Dang...y'all got me ballin' today! Such wonderful letters and news!

I am going to bump up my Discussion on "Writing Letters"...it has some links for jokes and such.

I also went to Cartoon strip sites and saved some that I lked from some of the ones we enjoy and sent those. Then I got all paranoid and switched to B & W ones I got out of some bargain Far Side books. I'll post a couple!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 8, 2012 at 4:51pm: becca - Sounds like a wonderful letter. Semper Fortis beccas SR!

Comment by beccasusan26 on March 8, 2012 at 4:35pm: Hey everyone thank you so much for the support, and information. especially ♥FireTeamLeaderWife♥... sort of gives me a direction to look into. before he left he was really excited and so proud but in his recent letters he seemed he was doubting his choices - now that he has his injury - i am worried that he is doing a lot worse. but in the letter i just wrote him, i told him to trust his previous decision and that i am not sure what his thought process is in there, but out here, at home, he thinks things through and is so smart. i told him we all have faith in him here at home, but he needs to have faith in himself. i told him just do whatever it takes and not to think about things too much, just do. Ideally, i hope he just gets put on light duty but if he has to stay longer then thats that. i just don't want him to regret anything later on and i told him that his choice is going to impact the rest of his life so don't do it impulsively. Well i guess we will just have to wait to hear something!! I am crossing my fingers.. and thank for you all the prayers, they are greatly appreciated !!
