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."

Stephanie, you are so lucky - you hit the jackpot 5 letters in one day!!!  We got a 2 page letter yesterday.  Our son sounds like he's doing much better.  I hope they all did well on the test so we get our phone call!!!!!  I keep my cellphone next to me all day at work also!  Good Luck to all today!!!  Karen
Is your son 331@ Karent0801?
Yes he is - looking forward to meeting you at PIR!

My daughter is the leader of that div right now :-)

 

Just got my first real phone call from my daughter. Stay close to your phones. It will be a 847 area code. It was so nice to hear from her. Phone call was approx. 20 minutes. :-)
I just got my call too!  Approx 25 minutes.  Came up on caller id as "pay phone".  It was wonderful to hear his voice!  Hope everyone gets phone calls today!

My daughter called her husband too so I didnt get as long :-(

 

My son called both my husband and me - I'm guessing his girlfriend got a call also.  It was wonderful just to hear his voice!!  My son is 21 but he sounds like a man for the first time in our lives!!!
That is awesome!  Thanks for sharing!  :-)
That was the best phone call of the day, today was my son birthday and I felt a little down, but when I got that phone call that brought a smile and tears, I was able to sing happy birthday, it was great!!!!!!! He was also very happy, what a great day!!
Happy for you.

Hi,

 

My son Jeff is in Ship 09 /Division 331.  Looking for other families with recruits in his ship/division.  We have received 2 great letters and one phone call.  We have been sharing the letters home with the entire family.  It makes it easier for him, as he knows they are all hearing what we hear.  The first letter we received was such a relief, as he sounded very positive.  He did say it was hard, but that he felt it was all definitely worth it.
