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."

Ship 07 div. 245

Anyone get any mail saying what or how our group is doing. Last letter I got my daughter didn't have much to say about BC just wanted to let me kow she was ok and that her mail hadn't caught up with her yet from anyone. I don't understand that. But we did get the wrong address from her BF and so all her mail went to that address first I guess. I am hoping that I hear from her this week. A call would be great but a letter will do. Tomorrow is her 21st b'day. And I miss her so much. I can't wait til grad day. I got my ticket for the trip just have to get the room for while we are there. If anyone hears how the group is doing will you please post.

Comment by proudmama ship10 div267 on July 12, 2011 at 1:17pm: Happy birthday to your daughter!!!!!

Comment by abbyblue on July 12, 2011 at 4:13pm: gota know there is well over 10000 recruits at boot camp lots of mail going and coming

Comment by bekka2u2 on July 13, 2011 at 9:34am: Yes I know that there is alot of mail coming and going out of there. I just wish that I would have waited to get the correct address from her instead of going ahead and sending mail to the address that I got from someone else. ANd i will feel real bad if she don't get her birthday cards that myself and everyone else sent to her before her birthday. I started sending b'day cards out starting about 10 days before her birthday. So........... here's to hoping.

Comment by bekka2u2 on July 13, 2011 at 9:36am: Thank You proudmama for the Happy Birthday wish to my daughter.

Comment by proudmama ship10 div267 on July 13, 2011 at 9:39am: No problem...hang in there!

Comment by clarkedu (MM Nuke Prototype) on July 15, 2011 at 8:09pm: Bekka2u2, in a letter from my son dated July 5th he said, "the division is coming together a lot more", and that they started working on their division flag. When he called on the 6th he added that the flag is going to look really cool. That's the most recent update I have about how the group is doing. Has anyone else shared any updates?
