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."

I haven't been able to log on as much as I want too but has anyone heard from their SR call or letter? I haven't heard anything since 7/5 =/

Joesmom-I got a letter fro my daughter yesterday! She had wrote it on Sunday. She said she'll be calling tomorrow!
Hope you get a call too!! It's great to hear their voices!

Got a call tonight!  Unfortunately, they have their writing privileges during the week taken away, they will be able to write on Sunday.  Good to hear from my SR, sounds really good and it was really great to talk to him.

We also got a call last......lasted 30 minutes! Said they're starting Hell Week. She sounded good! Thursday is their Physical fitness test-the 2nd one. Hope she does OK running the mile and a half.....she struggles with that, But she did pass the 1st one with 13 seconds to spare!!
Good to hear your son is doing OK!

Hi Moms!!  Thank you to those who responded to my dress code issue.  I appreciate the input.   Yes....that is a Mini on my profile.  My dream car!!  I missed my SRs call last Friday....cried for an hour!  THEN REALIZED....maybe she left a voicemail message. She did.  I am so anxious for graduation. As this is hard on us, cant imagine how rough its been on them.  We have raised some pretty strong individuals. Im proud of every single one of the recruits!!!

Hello everyone! So thankful for a place like N4M to get info. Haven't had a letter recently, just wondering if you've gotten one what was the date of the letter. Last one received from my daughter was written 7-13. Thanks for the replies and support!

Got a letter from my daughter today! She had written it Sunday, the 20th.

Thanks! My oldest daughter got one yesterday dated the 18th from her, so hopefully there will be one for me in today's mail here. 

Angela-Did you get a letter today? Hope so!

Hello everyone. I just joined the other day. I am so happy I did. One of the ladies on the chat hooked me up with a bunch of great links. One of the links was to the facebook site. I found pictures of the kids. I saw my son and teared up. My son is Ship12.
