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."

I am one of the lucky ones who has my son home today the day after Thanksgiving.  I found out I will have him for Christmas.  We did not have him last year as he went to boot camp on Dec 1.   I know there will be more holidays without him so feeling grateful for the ones I have.  

Hope everyone had a great holiday.

Hi eljac913,  Welcome to Heads at Ease!  I am assuming that your son has made it thru boot camp and might be in school??

Anyway, you are in for an adventure of a lifetime!  My son served 5 years and got out in Feb 2011.

The smurfs are the recruits first uniform when they arrive for processing at boot camp. They consist of blue sweat pants, and sweatshirt with gold lettering and of course the recruit navy baseball hat. The recruits wear these until they are fit for their nwu (blue camo uniform) and have earned the right to wear them. Most divisions after the first couple of weeks graduate to wearing their nwu.

Hi Ellen,

I have recieved 9 letters as of yesterday. I was hoping for a phone call on Christmas, but I have not had any calls, except for right when he arrived. Nice to meet you! Hopefully we can win the trivia and get a picture of our division on Tuesday! :)

Hi,

I noticed that your son has the same PIR 2/3/12 as my husband! Glad to finally be seeing people with his PIR on here. Only 54 more days to go!
