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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 23, 2012 at 4:45pm: ilovemyabh - You should be proud! Great job!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 23, 2012 at 4:41pm: Kahli's Mom - So glad your daughter was able to send you a little private joke!

Yay on the form letter!

Comment by Kahli's Mom on February 23, 2012 at 3:50pm: I GOT IT!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! Sooo doing the happy dance:) Thanks for the kind words. She is in ship 03 DIV 117. I am so excited to start writing her and sending pictures. She did express in the note on the back no WEIRD pics mom...lol And on the front where it says dear and then left blank, she addressed it mother dearest! Kind of our little joke, at least she has her sense of humor still. Now I know she will be ok:)

Comment by ilovemyabh on February 23, 2012 at 3:39pm: @diannep no, not mailing anything yet! Waiting for the address from the form letter, I don't trust his recruiter. lol. I mean we get along great,but i want the address from him! I'm sooooo ready for his PIR. I'm pretty proud of myself though! I havent cried hardly at all and if I did cry, it was because im so proud of him for doing this for us and our future. I've kept very busy, and positive! he will have lots to read when they finally do get mail. I've numbered and dated every letter.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 23, 2012 at 3:08pm: Well...maybe I shouldn't be doing this when I type: ...LOL diannep just zapped of like four while I was typing!

I haven't "fueled up" yet!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 23, 2012 at 2:59pm: Audra - I would send one. They can get one from the NEX but like I said they can't just go when they want too.

Now, the phones that they call from are right next door to the NEX on RTC...so they could be allowed to go and get one if it is "phone call day"...but then we don't know IF that would happen, or IF it does... is it "extra" time allowed that doesn't cut into their phone time.

Comment by diannep on February 23, 2012 at 2:55pm: 04/15/11 PIR group last year had their whites on. But that doesn't mean they will this year. Can change at different times each year.

Both are very handsome uniforms...the blues are almost black, very dark...very sharp!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 23, 2012 at 2:55pm: Just to add to diannep's post...here is the link to he page on RTC website(it came up now dianne LOL...hurry up and wait?!)

ttp://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/contact_recruit.asp

The same thing happened to me as far as "not enough info"...don't blame my recruiter though...he was trying to be helpful by getting it to me so soon! I waited for the form letter...and it was hard! It took 11 days after he arrived and I r'cd it on a Saturday. Sometimes there is TMI from the recruiter also.

Comment by diannep on February 23, 2012 at 2:48pm: Audra: Eventually RTC FB may have the date that GL changes back to the whites. They probably don't know this yet, but should soon. It can be the first week in April, or later. So you all are "on the line" of which uniform they will be in!

Comment by diannep on February 23, 2012 at 2:46pm: Yes, we do recommend that you all mail calling cards to your SRs...at least 500 minutes because they use up alot of minutes connecting from the pay phones. Activate it before mailing to save time. They can also buy them at the NEX, which they will have opportunity to visit on occasion. When my son was there, his card actually ran out in the middle of our call, he was at the NEX, so quickly bought another card and was able to call me right back.
