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."

Amen to that! My son is in my prayers many times daily & I also remember to add the same request for strength, protection & success for all the other brave young men & women whom I don't know but who are there at RTC.

Mail service returned today, but sadly nothing there from my son. One day soon... As you said though, no news is good news.

Take care

Hi! Yes he is a handsome sailor. My son Dustin is also on Ship 11 Div 106. My name is Mary. I have received a few letters over the past few weeks, but nothing will take the place of just hearing his voice again.4 and a half days left to graduation. I'm sure he can't wait. I really wish I could attend Graduation. he's my only son and I'm so proud of him. Perhaps his wife and I will find a way to make it happen. It does help a little to read others are in this together with you and to read all the great stories from different families.

Thanks for the news!

I haven't done facebook through Navy4Moms, & very little on the outs. Would you be able to advise the best way I might be able to go there to see the picture? My son is 11/106.
