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."

Carol....just checking to see if you got a letter today?  I still didn't and was really surprised.  I am about 850 miles away, but still...if it was mailed on Monday, I should have gotten it by now.  I am worried that something happened and he wasn't able to write.

thank you so much, I was able to identify my granddaughter in the picture!
I am glad, has to feel wonderful to at least see them.  I am jealous though, wish it had been my daughter's group!
I can't wait to get home and look!  I can see it on my little laptop, but I'm hoping to get a better view on my bigger screen at home.  My son is about 6', so he may be so far in back that I can't make him out.  Thank you so much for posting this!!!!
Not a problem, always stalking N4M'S and the mail carrier!  lol

Good Morning Ladies,

I guess I posted this on the wrong page. My son told me in his letter that he thinks we will be getting a call today from them, nothing is set in stone, just a maybe. But I wanted to give you a heads up to be on the look out.

Kathleen

Quick note, as I"m getting ready for work.  I was in too late last night to post, but I did get another letter from my son yesterday, and he also filled out the first questionnaire I had sent.  He sounded very positive in the letter.  I will share more of what may be helpful to you ladies tonight when I have more time, but just know that he says they are doing better and he sounded very encouraged!  Have a great day, ladies!

Sigh...Well I do not think I am going to get a call from my son today, I have been by the phone since 2pm. 

But on the good side, today ends week 3! Has anyone heard anything new per letter or phone call?

Kathleen

Hi I am a new memeber my husband is in div 234 . I haven't recieved a call either.

Next week is Hell week so I am pretty sure they are getting prepared.
