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."

Hey!  One person reported that your division will start on Sunday night (finish the next morning).  Calls would come in on Monday afternoon in that case.

Oh María cuanto lo siento....... Mi hija me escribió el domingo y llegó la cartita ayer. Dice que ellos reciben carta todos los días y pueden leerlas pero pueden enviar carta los domingos. Están bien ocupados. Me dijo que le escriba todos los días Porque se siente muy bien cuando les entrgan cartas y a lo contrario muy tristes cuando ven que sus compañeros reciben y ellos no. Así que no importa que ellos no nos escriban. Escribamos nosotros. Ella está en la división 900. No te preocupes que sus el no te ha sacrifice said son hyenas noticias Porque estan bien.

Hi Maria! ... dont be upset about not getting a letter... My daughter left to basic on 1/ 11 and i got the box with her belongings about 5 days later and then i got the "form" letter on the 21st.... she wrote a quick note on the back of the forms... just to say she was already homesick,.... But i havent gotten a REAL letter from her yet. .. I have been writing her everyday now since i got her official address.... If you dont have your sons address yet, Call his recruiter... They usually have the info already. The Address my daughters recruiter gave me was correct. I have been writing her everyday... I sent her alot of pictures from home, phone cards so she can call us... and stamps too. It makes me feel better to write her, even though she still cant write me back. But im hoping i get a letter from her next week. Good luck... you will get a letter soon too :)
