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 MK5Diver on March 4, 2015 at 1:23pm: Hello everyone--I haven't been on her for quite some time now. So good to see that all seems to going well for everyone. My son has finally graduated and left SD and is now in Guam. He absolutely loves his job and his new squadron telling us he loves jumping out of helocopters. Hope you all are well and your sailors are making it through alright.

Comment by Cc1058 on March 4, 2015 at 9:17am: Sweet video

Comment by SOTS on March 4, 2015 at 12:53am: Really great video!!!

Comment by proudmama on March 4, 2015 at 12:37am: Melissa- so glad you shared that! Very cool!

Comment by Melissa on March 4, 2015 at 12:18am: Did anyone see this? http://news.usni.org/2015/02/14/love-air-mh-60s-delivers-surprise-e...

So glad she said yes!

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on February 26, 2015 at 8:54am: Melissa, I didn't catch her overnight comment but I agree priority mail is the best way to go. I've done UPS also but I tend to cram as much in a care package as I can and the flat rate is the way I go now. I use the game box size priority mail because it seems like I can get more in the box. I'm cheap so I like to get more bang for my buck lol.

Cc1058, my son has been in almost 3 years. He's in San Diego now. They just rotate those numbers at bc. I think it has something to do with the week they arrive there but I might be wrong.

Comment by Melissa on February 25, 2015 at 11:39pm: I wouldn't ever bother with the expense of overnight shipping. Even if the package gets to the Air Station overnight, it might be a week or more before it gets sorted out to where ever your son is. Get the military mail priority box from the Post Office - cheapest way to go.

Comment by Cc1058 on February 25, 2015 at 6:47pm: Perfect Jodi..that is exactly what I did..thank you..our sons should know each other..his was ship4, Div 819
