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."

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on May 12, 2010 at 11:04pm: good evening Ladies, just checking in to let everybody know, that I finally got mail today. Charles is doing okay and says that things are getting much better. However, he is a little worried about graduating on time, because he hurt himself and has two stress fractures on his foot. If he didn't graduate on time, that would really be sad, since I already purchased my flight, rental car, and hotel. But whatever happens, will happen for a reason.
Div 210 didn't get to call home on Mothers Day because of a couple of individuals who 'messed up'. Charles is happy that I am communicating with all you N4Ms. Anyway....it is getting late and 0500 o'clock comes around real quick. Good night everyone, and I hope everybody was blessed with either some mail or a phonecall today.

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on May 12, 2010 at 7:02pm: Haha! So, my son will be the letter "L" !
He's 6'6 and he was finally putting on weight before he left. Everytime he calls, I tell him "just keep eating a lot". He did say that the food was pretty darn good there. Comforting...uh, I think :)

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on May 12, 2010 at 6:41pm: Tess- don't worry they make them wear heavy boots that will counter the weight loss. LOL

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on May 12, 2010 at 5:32pm: Thanks Jeff's mom. My son is in your son's division. Good to know. Wow, your son lost 10 lbs? I sure hope my son doesn't lose too much weight. He's already very thin! Yikes. Good for you. Hang tight.

Comment by Jeff's momShip11Div210 on May 12, 2010 at 5:20pm: Just got the mail and received two letters from my son.He said their division commanders are actually pretty laid back compared to some.They have done pretty well but their didsion did get into some trouble and that is why they could not call Mother's Day.He states he has lost 10 lbs.so far.Said the days are actually moving by pretty fast(much faster for them than for us I am sure).He sounds pretty upbeat. I am feeling much more upbeat myself

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on May 12, 2010 at 4:40pm: Hi Olga. Chin up. We didn't get a letter because our boys are doing so well and are so focused that they just didn't get a chance to write. Maybe they spent all the time designated for writing, reading all the cards/letters that they recevied! I know my son said that he got about 13 letters all at once. Steady as we go!
Hugs, Tess

Comment by Focusing on the Future on May 12, 2010 at 12:53pm: Okay. I dont want to bring anyone down, but am I expecting too much to get a call since Im just the GF? Everyone in his Div seems to have gotten their first call last nite. sighs. Im so usually not a downer, but it hurts. Ive been writing everyday and dont get a call? Ok. enough sulking!!

CONGRATS to all the letters and calls. And thank u so much for letting me vent. Dont know what Id do without u all.

Comment by joshswife(Ship11Div212)PIR06/11 on May 12, 2010 at 11:59am: I got letters, I got letters, I got letters hey hey hey hey! I got 8 letters from Josh today and everyone sounds better than the last. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I read them out loud to kohen and the older kids are going to be so happy to read them when they get home from school. I can't wait to hear who all got mail today. The postman put them right in my hands with a HUGE smile on his face. I think he's just glad I won't be chasing him down any more.

Comment by Tynan's Mom-Toni on May 12, 2010 at 11:59am: LMC-Tynan is in ship 11 div 212

Comment by proudnavy_grandmother on May 12, 2010 at 10:36am: Laurel: My grandson is also Ship 11 Div 216. We have a forum (small number) and can be found in boot camp moms (something like that). Please join our group. I got my first phone call last night. His mom received 4 letters last Thursday. Colby told me he has written me two but I told him I hadn't gotten them. He said they get mail every day but can only send mail out on Sundays. Be patient. Their division seems to stay in trouble due to some "talkers" and therefore don't get as many priviledges. Hang in there ------ letters and calls will come. Watch for the area code: 847. My caller ID displayed "Pay Phone" and then the number. Hope this helps.
