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."

Nicole.dm this would be where she is at the moment with her Div. and ship # so this is where you would be sending her letters to. Once PIR is over and she goes to her A school wherever that would be the address changes. but for now this is where she is. what ship is she on? On boot camp for moms off to the right where is has ships and div. you can look up her ship there. any questions I can try to guide you. hope this helps. So excited for you! Thanks for sharing.
