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."

Thanks for starting this group.  I will visiting my son in WA in 10 days.  Are your son and daughter both at Whidbey?

I hear so many good things about Washington, but personally It was depressing me. If you like trees and hiking or reading I guess you would be in heaven.

My husband did some repair work on his room, and took him his bowling ball. I'm sure he would love a home cooked meal. I bought him a set of pots and pans and I think he is living off Mac & Cheese now. lol

The USPS has a program for military family members and friends to supply them with packaging materials to send packages to troops overseas, Sailors on ships, etc.

Just call 1-800-610-8734 and select option #1, then #1 again. Ask them for the "Military pack." They will send you 8 boxes, tape, packaging materials and labels. They will also give you an I.D. number so if your supply runs low, you just call them up and they'll send you more supplies.
