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."

We are on the Eastern Shore. Live in a little town called Princess Anne. I took a group picture of the Navy group leaving that Monday from MEPS. I wonder if your son is in it. It should be in my photos.

I just got my first phone call!!!!!  I should be receiving 3 letters soon too!!!!

I got my phone call too!  What a great day, 2 letters and a phone call...

Maybe I will have my letters tomorrow

Got a phone call to night. That made my night!!!!

So happy for you!!!!!

Great, I am so excited now to meet everyone, it is great to hear our boys are becoming friends.  Wasn't it a great sound, their voices....definately made my night too!  I was able to get the phone to my daughter to so she was able to talk to her "big" brother.

My son called me first and I told him he better call Boo (great grandmother) to make her night.  She has worried about him since he left.  Last call was to his girlfriend.  He said he was getting his mail that made me feel better. 

Ladies...your recruits names are all over this discussion group...please delete those posts...the RDCs do read them...thanks

Lynne,  thanks I deleted anything that seemed personal to my child.

Hi, I received my call last night and I was so excited.  He seemed so mature.  Stop crying mom, I only have a little time.  I am so proud of him and his choices.  God Bless Them All.

It will be so amazing to see them at PIR!
