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."

andrewsmom...my son was very sick around the 4th of July and I too got a letter telling me he had been sick from Wednesday until he wrote on that Sunday. He said that he had to be better by Tuesday or it could mean being held back. Well, i went all week wondering if I would get the call. But, by the time I got the letter, he was already back FT. So, if you haven't gotten a call, that is good news and he is probably all better. :.)

Comment by acesmom(ship:03, Div: 249) on July 25, 2011 at 10:00pm

I got the longest letter to date, almost a whole page. Several people have gotten long letters but mine have all been very brief and non informational. I'm going crazy. no phone call at all.
