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."

Posted on November 21, 2010 at 8:14pm 3 Comments

Has anyone sent their Sailor a next day package? Wondering what mail i should use. This will be his first holiday away from home and family, a long way away from home. I would just like to send him a few things to help him through his day. Well it help me too to know that he has some homey things to enjoy and share. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you
