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."

USS Mobile Bay (CG53)

The USS Mobile Bay is currently on deployment and could use a little Love From Back Home.

We have the blessing of the command and they are looking forward to seeing the Men and Women on the ship get some love from home.

We will begin shipping 357 pillowcases starting on the 10-01-2012, I will be doing the command and help out with what ever is needed to be finished.

We have 307 males and 50 females, I would like to split the females up into 2 shipments. They will be 2 weeks apart to give the first round time to travel.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE HAE BIG RED HEART IS ON EACH BOX. This will help them to be able to pull the boxes just by sight. If you don't have them let Sue or I know and we will send you the file to print.

Week 1- shipping 10/01/2012 (181)

Man, I am behind! Love the photo ME and the note to you Birdie. Here is one that came in and I am just getting around to read, reply and post:

Ms. Thompson,

My name is Bridget xxxx and I am an Officer on the USS MOBILE BAY. I wanted to write to you and say thank you for the beautiful pillow cases and thank you for your thoughts and prayers. It is very comforting to know you are thinking of us while we are out here on deployment.

Take care and thank you again.

Sincerely,

Bridget
