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."

Please post your sailors' birthdays here.  We would all love to send them birthday cards and letters throughout their Navy journey.  

 

I think that the only way to safely and privately pass on their addresses is to private message anyone who would like to have them.  If you want to send your sailor's address to me, I could compile a list of all of our sailors and then e-mail it privately to each of you.

CJ's Mom and Sara's Sailor I have your sailor's birthday cards ready to go... However we are snowed in! I live in Georgia and the mail, ups, and Fedex are not running! I will let you know when I get the cards to the mail! Thank you to everyone who sent birthday card's to Z he has already gotten a few in the mail!

My hubby picked out the cards for the guys this month and he got little boy cards... So they should be funny for our Young men! LIsa when you talk to Z I hope his birthday will be a nice day.

Z is suppose to call tonight I will tell him. Thank you again for sending his card! Especially since we can't even get our mail out! Cj's card is still in my mailbox! The USPS still has not picked it up. Please tell him I'm sorry it is late! Georgia just doesn't know how to handle so much snow ;)

Cj's card finally went out yesterday! We had not had mail since Saturday. It was like Christmas all over again :)

Oh wow, Lisa, you really were snowed in!

We had a lot of snow for Georgia. Georgia is by no means prepared to handle that much snow! None of the neighborhoods were plowed. Only some of the main streets were plowed. I just feel bad because the boys cards were late and Z's birthday is Monday and it's a holiday! His box will not make it by Monday :( If you have the February birthday list please send it to me. I can probably get those out on time LOL!

My son,A's birthday is February 27th
Terry - what is A's birthday? I have his card ready to go! Thanks
Besty I was able to find a calendar at Target for $1.00 Our target has a $1.00 section up at the front of the store. Anyway that might be a good place to write all the birthday's down for your record. Not sure how you are keeping track
