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 SonandSea on April 30, 2011 at 3:35pm: WandaG~ Would you mind sharing which seller you purchased from? There are so many on Cafe Press selling Navy Mom stuff. Thank you!!!

Comment by WandaG on April 29, 2011 at 2:38pm: I just wanted to share with everyone that I ordered some Proud Navy Mom t-shirts from Cafe Press for the first time and received them today. They are nice but were a little snug. So I called to exchange them for a larger size. Check this out... the rep told me since this was my first time ordering, as a courtesy, I will not need to send the shirts I have back and they will send me the replacements at no cost to me. Free shipping as well. Is that amazing??!!! Talk about awesome customer service. :o)

Comment by WandaG on April 28, 2011 at 5:41pm: Suzi- thanks for the clarification.

Well, my daughter got a call today from her recruiter. Mon, May 2nd she will be going in to wrap up final enlistment paperwork and Wed, May 4th she will be returning to MEPS to select her rating and to swear in!!!! We are so pumped! Hooyah!!!

Comment by mamawalrus on April 28, 2011 at 12:26am: Laura....my son is actually class 135 not 140 and starts next week.

Comment by Suzi-OH on April 26, 2011 at 11:47pm: Wanda - it's an assortment of boxes you can get from the Post Office. They will deliver boxes, stickers, forms right to your house. They give a discount on boxes to an APO or FPO.

Comment by WandaG on April 26, 2011 at 6:15pm: I'm lost... what is this military pack?

Comment by Suzi-OH on April 26, 2011 at 4:21pm: You can also order the Military Pack on www.usps.com.

And even better.....you can now do customs forms online.....such a great thing after doing so many of the multi-page forms by hand over the years.

Hope everyone had a great weekend....it was so beautiful outside today.

Comment by mamawalrus on April 26, 2011 at 3:54pm: Just an FYI for you all ... in case you have not rec'd this info

This is from USPS

You can receive a "Free" Military pack by calling 1-800-610-8734 , press #1, then #1 again, this will take you to Customer Service,

Tell them you want the Military Pack. They will get your info and give you a Customer ID number for future re-ordering of packs.
