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."

How do we see pics of our SRs??

 

I got a letter today. He sounded good but is worried about the 1.5 run.  He's always been a worrier though.  I really miss him bad tonight.

Also got a letter today. Our SR says he did not expect to get chewed out so much. He did says they have a bit of fun once in a while......positive sign. He also said time is going fast

That makes me feel good to think their time is going fast:)

I just got off the phone with my SR!!!!!!!! He sounded really good.  Said he was tired all the time.  Food is good.  His performing job is Side Boy.  Said he'll be standing outside the tunnel.  So I'll hopefully get to see a picture of him on the RTC facebook page on 02/10/2012.

my Sr just called and talked to. My hubby....I got home from work 5 min too late.
He did not say why he got to call.

Mine didn't say either....and I was going to ask if the whole div. got to call, but forgot.

One thing he did say...on my letters to him, he said to use his address as the return address.

I hope you all get a call soon. At least they are almost half finished with boot camp

I'm so sorry gifted....yea, toes and heart.  Hang in there.

Oh wow I know how that hurts. This is my third son....I can tell how hurt you are. My experience has been strange with the older two.....the oldest married a girl who won't let us see the grandchildren ever. The second fell in love online with a gitl in Australia. He never saw the girl but spent thousands of dollars as soon as hbe got out of the Marines to go see hber. She refused to meet him after he got there. Thank God. My advice....... take this girlfriend to your heart like a daughter
