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 navygirlfriend on November 13, 2010 at 9:36pm: Also got my letters yesterday!!! I was so dissapointed when my mailbox was empty yet again, but then just a short while later, I get a call from his mom saying she has letter(S) for me!! So I dash over there and get them, then I had to go to the opening night of my play. I read the letters in between acts and had to try so hard not to cry so my makeup wouldn't run... Still cried, just didn't bawl like I would've if I was alone..haha.
But yeah, he also said he hasn't recieved any letters. In the envelope, the latest letter was dated 07 November. And they came on the 12th, so... took 5 days to get here. Hope he gets me letters soon too..does anyone know what week they can start receiving letters?

Comment by jesspoo05 on November 13, 2010 at 9:05pm: Went to CA to find an apt yesterday with my mom. Think I found one I want, just need everything to fall into line. Best of all I got to spend some really great time with him! And he was able to come and get his car to take back to base with him!! Which is great! Everything with that just fell into place! It was perfect! If it hadn't I am not sure when he would have been able to get it! Now he has it and can come and see me more often! I will be there in 18 days! I love it! I can't wait to be with him forever!! Hope all is well with you and yours!!

-sailor'sgirl- even though things aren't finalized with things you are right! it will be okay you are doing what you can to see him!!!

Comment by navywife'E ship9div16 PIR 12/3 on October 28, 2010 at 6:49pm: I got letters from him today!!!!!! :D sooo happy!!! I keep reading them OVER & OVER again!! Unfortunatly, he wrote that he has not received ANY of my letters. I feel so bad for the poor guy, he also wrote his father saying the same thing.. Oh all I can imagine what he could be thinking! That must be so awful! I hope he will get ALL of my letters soon!
