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."

So exciting !! I know you are on pins & needles!

Most of our group got the mid-term calls today; unfortunately - I did not......not sure why or what that means, but nothing I can do but hope for another chance tomorrow and be thankful I got a letter today.

Let me hear from you when you get that call!!!

Hey thinking of you and praying for all to go  well tomorrow for your SR - or whenever she does Battlestations.  I can't wait to hear you got the call!!!!

Hey! Seems my SR is doing well; was surprised that things were very different than he had been led to believe or had heard.  Not all bad, just different.  Was hoping to get to "the fun stuff" this last week - swimming, etc.  He said he had read his letter like 100 times and that when they said mail is like gold, they were not kidding.  I assume that he had not at that point received all of my deluge of letters!  lol - hope he continues to adjust, adapt and accept the new life changes!  I know you are excited and counting down to PIR - can't wait to hear all about what your SR is doing - let us hear from her!!!

got my first letter from my SR today!  so excited!  will check back later with more details, got to get some work done!!!  thank goodness I work from home so I can be here to watch mailbox daily!

At 8:35pm on March 27, 2012, kimstn said…

Hey!!! Thanks for the note....I know you are counting down!  How exciting!!!  I am still waiting on the first piece of mail from my SR.  I saw where someone from his division had mailed to his mom and she received it today, so I am hopeful....keep your fingers crossed for us to get something...anything....this week! lol

How exciting!! I can't wait to start getting some news from my son.  So far we are the 10 day mark and I am thinking maybe he hasn't started even getting my mail yet either.  I started mailing him on Tues of this week and have sent a letter from me and one with notes from his party each day already.  And his dad and Gram have sent one.  He should be set once the mail starts getting distributed!

So PIR is not quite so far away for you all.....4/13 huh?  Are you on the countdown? We are already and not nearly so far in as you and your SR.

Good to hear from you - will let you know when I am lucky enough to get a letter!  Talk to you soon,

Kim
