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 Whit and Stephen's Mom (Ann) on July 22, 2013 at 9:10am: I wrote to my daughter EVERY day and sometimes it was just babble but she said I have no idea how much she appreciated it. Most days those were the only letters she received! Ask if your recruit knows of someone who doesn't get letters and send them one once a week too! My daughter said there were kids that didn't get even one letter all the while they were in boot camp.

Comment by mom27 on July 20, 2013 at 8:02am: Navymom5 as soon as you get her information write everyday and put a date on each letter because a lot of times they get them at the same time. Also it is helpful if you send them a phone card for when they get to call home. It is a long 8 weeks after they leave because they have very little time to write you back, so even if she doesn't write you back know that the more letters she gets the better.

Comment by Navymom5 (Logan's mom) on July 19, 2013 at 4:37pm: Hi my daughter left July 17th for boot camp in GL ...
