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 amyj96 on June 29, 2011 at 2:43pm: Yes, i've enjoyed the letter! read it 3 times already :) the div and ship are the same but he added USS John F. Kennedy to the first line and seperated the div and ship....? I guess I'll continue to use the same address that i've had

Comment by diannep on June 29, 2011 at 2:27pm: amberose is right, amy. My son sometimes had a different return address too (zip code was different...last 4 numbers). Continue to use the form letter address. The ship/div # is the important part.

Comment by Lisa Brown/Cory's MOM on June 29, 2011 at 2:03pm: Amyj96...your son left at the same time my son left and he is in the same DIV/Ship as my son! Hopefully I will get a letter when I get home from work today.

Comment by amberrose on June 29, 2011 at 1:48pm: Is it the same Ship/Division? If so, keep using the address that was given to you in your PIR letter.

Comment by onboardMOM on June 29, 2011 at 1:47pm: Amy996

Great that you got your letter ENJOY!!! We know you are going to have a good day....

Comment by amyj96 on June 29, 2011 at 1:43pm: Got a letter!!!! hopefully, someone can help with a question. The return address is not the same as the one on the box or the form letter so it's not the one i've been using to mail letters. Should I change to this 'new' address?

Comment by bobbie (ht mom) on June 29, 2011 at 12:46pm: good luck mainemom

Comment by Maine Mom on June 29, 2011 at 12:44pm: No letter here today either-let's hope tomorrow or since we're in Maine it may take til Friday!

Comment by bobbie (ht mom) on June 29, 2011 at 12:14pm: thx lisarobin i hope so it took me 4 days from postmark to get the form letter so you would be right lol if he mailed it out sunday thx so much
