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 Kim8 on November 30, 2021 at 8:02pm: I have a question about a FPO address. My son took a pic of the FPO for his ship for when they deploy. In this address it says:

YOUR NAME
SHIP NAME
UNIT______(# is provided) BOX__(YOUR BOX # / DIV)____
FPO_____ (provided) ZIP CODE _____(provided)

I have all the info except for Box #. My son was not told a box # but was told to use "wardroom". Anyone have a similar situation? Do I put "wardroom" after BOX & then put his DIV? My son thought maybe put "wardroom" under the ship name but since he wasn't given a box # I wonder if it should go there? He's on a DDG if that helps any.

Comment by Glenni on November 19, 2021 at 5:31pm: Just thought I'd update on the pre-commissioning loan. It is a lifesaver! My son was able to get $15k at 2.99% interest. Payments don't begin until 6 months after commissioning (3 weeks from today!!). It allowed him to buy a late model Ford Fusion that should last well into his Navy career! So for future moms of officers, this is a terrific option if your sailor needs it!!

Comment by Glenni on October 25, 2021 at 11:11pm: Did anybody's sailor take the pre-commissioning loan offered by USAA? What was that experience like? My son's car died this weekend....may it rest in peace. This summer he and his wife bought a 2015 Nissan Rogue to replace her dead Corolla. She is able to make the payments easily with her salary as a teacher. They were not planning on getting another vehicle until their first posting after flight school. But it looks like they don't have a choice. He definitely doesn't want a new vehicle, but after having 3 older used cars (including her corolla) die during his college years, he's ready to have something reliable.

Comment by Glenni on October 12, 2021 at 11:11pm: Thank you Helomom. Yes, he does have the option to make either 4 or 6 payments after he commissions. I appreciate the input!
