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 bdmama on March 29, 2012 at 5:33pm: We are considering getting him a laptop for his graduation gift (going onto Corpsman school right after). Some questions: If he doesn't have his own, is there a computer lab for sailors to use? We can't decide whether to get the laptop here at home, and bring it, or can we possibly purchase one at the NEX for him?

Comment by bdmama on March 29, 2012 at 5:29pm: Got a letter! He 'finally' came down with the crud, just in time for the final run test, had a fever, and did not pass the run. Altho, he said by the time he wrote the letter, he was feeling great. So, hopefully, he'll pass they next time he gets to run. He has passed all other physical tests with flying colors (his words)! Asked that I bring him vitamins for after PIR. lol

Comment by spring932 on March 29, 2012 at 3:49pm: Rla.... I would just so she knows what to expect when she has to open it infront of the RDCs

Comment by Rla1164 on March 29, 2012 at 3:23pm: In my daughter's letter yesterday she asked for some makeup for PIR. When I send it should I write on the package the contents?

Comment by spring932 on March 29, 2012 at 3:07pm: sending out {{{mail vibes}}} for everyone

Comment by diannep on March 29, 2012 at 2:58pm: *their* not "there.* sorry...

Comment by diannep on March 29, 2012 at 1:41pm: ML: I agree. I don't think it has to do with sterilization...I think it is way too may vaccinations at one time for them. Temporarily lowers there immune systems and allows them to pick up all of the germs roaming around in such close quarters. Just my very non-professional (but health-conscious) opinion! They don't get sick like this in A School....

Comment by ML(02/922 PIR 4/13 on March 29, 2012 at 1:01pm: My SR had the Crud and few weeks ago. She was on LLD for a couple of days. The Corpsman told her it was a "rite of passage" for recruits to have it. It must be something to do with all the shots they get. You would think that everything would be sterilized considering all the cleaning they have to do. Go figure!

Comment by Bob's mom on March 29, 2012 at 9:59am: shermur,

The Boykin, like the Border Collie, is also a sporting dog. They were bred to be water and field dogs. Both our girls are excellent hunter retrievers. I know your trepidation in leaving the dogs at home. My 85 year old father is going to puppy sit while we are gone. I don't know who's more excited about that weekend - him or me?
