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 Jennifer on October 17, 2012 at 7:49pm: I was hoping for a letter today, judging by others, but no such luck. Maybe tomorrow.. if not tomorrow then I'm sure I'll have to wait til next week Wednesday! Booooo.

Comment by proudmomma on October 17, 2012 at 7:08pm: Im happy for all of you that are now starting to receive letters from your sailor! Keep your fingers crossed for me as I still havent heard anything yet. I hope all is well with your sons/daughters!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 17, 2012 at 6:17pm: The letters will still get to them. It sounds like they all had down the wrong ship number for that division. They may have put them in a different ship than originally planned. Just mail all future letters to the what is on the return address of the letters you just got.

Comment by marissa on October 17, 2012 at 5:22pm: I just got a letter from my boyfriend today! His form letter said Ship 3 Div 022 but in his letter he wrote Ship 4 Div 022. I have been sending his letters to Ship 3! I hope it doesn't take too long before he gets my letters.

Comment by BmommaBol on October 17, 2012 at 4:08pm: quick question....I have been sending his letters to Ship 03 Div 022 because that is what the form letter said his address was, but he wrote in his letter (and return address) that he is ship 04 div 022...is that just a mistake on the form letter then?

Comment by BmommaBol on October 17, 2012 at 4:06pm: Ahhhh I am soooooo thrilled!! I got 3 letters from my husband today!!!! DIV 022. It makes me feel sooooo much better to know how he is doing. Loves going to church because it is similar to our home church. (they even sang one of the same songs as we do at home!!) He also got to see both of my brothers at church too which he said made him feel good! Ahhh this is just such a happy day for me, as I have been having very rough days. Im still missing him more than ever, but just to see his writing and know its coming from his own heart and head and not off of a script made me feel soooo much better!!! I hope that everyone gets a letter from their SR today, or sometime this week!!!!! :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 17, 2012 at 3:50pm: Sorry to interupt "the flow"...just a little "business".

FIRST no one has done anything wrong...this is just an FYI as it happened on another GROUP earlier today. Just looking out for you and your recruits. :-)

As a refresher I am going to repost the link to the PAGE for:

Comment by SailorsMomShip12Div023 on October 17, 2012 at 1:59pm: No real letter yet. I'm hoping by the end of week we may be some. I'm really excited to hear about my son's experience so far.

My husband went to the county clerks office to get an absentee ballot for our son, and they said the office would mail him one. My husband could not pick it up. Guess that be a state or county thing. Hopefully our son can get it mailed back in time.

Comment by TMM Ship03Div20(was godsgirltmm) on October 17, 2012 at 1:46pm: Has anyone received any letters from their SR yet? (not form letter, but real letters ;D )

Comment by Hunter's mom on October 17, 2012 at 12:36pm: I printed the absentee ballot application for military for my son and I am mailing it today. Hopefully he can get it back to me in time. They will mail him the ballot and it has to be back the day before the election. We may not make the deadline but we are trying!
