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 miss_g on November 2, 2012 at 4:04pm: Thank you meagan =)

Comment by meagan5220 on October 31, 2012 at 1:15pm: Sailor's Name (Rank/First & Last Name)
USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72)
FPO AE 09520-2872

that is the new addresss for the ship.

Luckily we dodged most of the storm here in VA and dodged the snow that hit W Virginia too. About 5 hours west of me they got 19 inches of snow. So we certainly got lucky!

Comment by miss_g on October 31, 2012 at 11:14am: so I haven't sent any mail out since they were on deployment. has their ship to address changed?

Comment by Cool Mom on October 30, 2012 at 4:56pm: Just heard from my daughter (okay a text LOL) and she is actually in Portsmouth, VA, not Norfolk like I thought. Anyway, she said they still have power and that they only got a little bit of rain. Thank God!
