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 Regina on March 24, 2013 at 7:55am: palmbeachnavymom- From everything I have read and what my son has been told, your son will have to register his car in Guam. Is your son in Guam yet? My son just got there on march 17th ( he just loves it ). However his car won't arrive until approximately April 26th.

Comment by HeatherT(09/003) on March 24, 2013 at 12:58am: My son is in Guam now anf loves it. Only thing he misses is his girlfriend and his dog. Says I can send those to him amd he will be happy. Lol.

Comment by palmbeachnavymom on March 21, 2013 at 5:32pm: Hi Ladies,

I am getting ready to ship my sons jeep to Guam. He wants to keep his FL tag on his car. Does he have to get a Guam tag?

Comment by Regina on March 17, 2013 at 12:37pm: My son is now in Guam:)

Comment by ScarletteFromGuam on February 25, 2013 at 9:01pm: cmacdon: You can look up florists in our phonebook at www.guamphonebook.com and place an order to be delivered to her if any of their drivers have base access. You must have her address. Or you could simply look up the NEX here (theres obly one) and ask for their florist too.

Comment by cmacdon on February 25, 2013 at 8:55pm: ScarlettefromGuam: My daughter got there in December and is working at the hospital. Her birthday is Friday and I wanted to send flowers or something! Is that even possible? She is turning 20 and has never been away from home for her birthday so I hate to not do anything! Help, any ideas?? She is having a hard time being so young and so far away!

Comment by ScarletteFromGuam on February 25, 2013 at 7:49pm: Hey everyone! I'm a local Navy fiance with lots of info if you need it. I'm currently waiting for my sailor who is in A-school in Pensacola (rate: IT). If you have any questions about Guam, I can try to help you as best as I can. I don't have base access, but have been inside numerous times and could probably provide you some idea of what to do, what to find, where to go, etc. Hoping my sailor gets stationed here at home <3

Comment by Irene McClure on January 27, 2013 at 9:08pm: If you get a chance to go to Guam by all means go!! It's awesome. My Daughter and son-n-law were there for 4 yrs. My Grandaughter was born at the Navy Hospital there. We went out there for 2 weeks.

Comment by ccpoet on January 25, 2013 at 7:52am: Donna, my xmas package took 30 days and it arrived wet and chewed up but everything was intact. You have to use the postal service, but it's the navy that delivers it after that. I just sent another one. My son Ryan is on the USS Chicago.

Comment by wenlower on January 24, 2013 at 7:48pm: My son is on the USS Frank Cable. He's doing well and enjoying it. I am saving every penny to go next year - February or March. Any travel tips? Anybody want to join me?

Also, anyone have trouble getting mail to their sailor? I was wondering if there is an address to use that would get fed ex or UPS as opposed to US postal service. Some Christmas gifts got there in time and some took many many weeks.
