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 LA-BriansMom (Ship 3 Div 116) on March 15, 2012 at 8:08pm: Received letter today from my SR, it was a great letter, said he was doing good, met and has 74 new friends and how they are all working as a team. So far, passing all written and physical test...Yeah! Told me not to worry he is doing fine! My Boy to a Man..so Proud! Can't wait to PIR!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 15, 2012 at 6:13pm: Mine got it for calling his Chief PO just Petty Officer...twice. ;)

Comment by Teach on March 15, 2012 at 6:07pm: Thanks FTLW...Hubby hasn't been on the computer at all, so he is ignorant of this stuff.

Really...3 hours! I wrote him back and said he must really be looking great with all the muscles he's developing from this. Last week he personally had to do 2 hours of mountain climbers for something he forgot to do and 80 8-counts for having things wrong with his bunk. So, he is by no means innocent in this.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 15, 2012 at 5:34pm: Dang...three hours...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 15, 2012 at 5:33pm: Balance, Agility, Strength, Explosion, Stamina.

Comment by Teach on March 15, 2012 at 5:28pm: Somebody please remind me what B.A.S.E.S. stands for. SR wrote in today's letter that he likes those. I know it is their exercise routine they do, but I can't remember what it stands for and my husband wants to know.

OH>>>>WE GOT A LETTER!!!! SR is sounding a little more positive, although he did say he was ready to quit when they had 3 hours of IT because some of the shipmates wouldn't work as a team. He only kept going because he knew how proud he was making us.

Comment by bdmama on March 15, 2012 at 5:13pm: The uniform thing does seem a bit crazy, in a hotel room. I have a feeling my son will want a long shower and a nap. So he's to nap in uniform? I'll just say, whatever, and follow his lead with what he's comfortable doing I guess. And got another letter yesterday, he still sounds okay, and determined to graduate.

Comment by spring932 on March 15, 2012 at 5:10pm: Stomp away..... that is what we are here for!!

Comment by mamabeans on March 15, 2012 at 4:22pm: Thanks. Sorry all for stomping my mamabear paws! Its been a long road to the 1/2 way mark. :/

Comment by evanzmom (ship 03 div 117) on March 15, 2012 at 4:09pm: Mamabeans - I think I'm a lot like you, so I'm going to respond :)

I too have had doubts because of different things I've heard from my SR and other sources. I was starting to melt down over the job my SR picked and whether he had been mislead about what it was. I finally decided that this is my child's life and I need to trust that I have taught him what he needs to know from his mother. That was my job. Now is the time for the Navy to teach them what they need to know about the path that THEY chose for themselves. I think there will be many times we don't agree (being the strong mama-bear types) with the Navy's plan, but we have to let go and let our soldiers be soldiers. We aren't going to get robots back, we are going to get men that understand that they have rules to follow regardless of whether those rules make sense to them. The structure will probably be of some comfort to them right now as they learn to mesh private and military life.

Hang in there. You are stressed and it's normal to have doubts. It will all be okay :)
