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 Lynne on October 8, 2010 at 1:08pm: Here is hoping that everyone who is waiting on a letter gets a letter today...or a phone call...lol!!!

Comment by Lynne on October 8, 2010 at 1:07pm: Glasses and/or contacts can be sent for this purpose and PIR as well...

Comment by Lynne on October 8, 2010 at 1:06pm: I think if I were in your shoes I would buy loose leaf paper, send it in an envelope where you only have to fold it once...then it is just a letter and not technically a package...and less likely to get in trouble than a notebook...just an idea...out manipulate the manipulators you know...

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on October 8, 2010 at 12:55pm: Got it - thanks!

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on October 8, 2010 at 12:05pm: Ok, I give up - where can I find the questionnaires? I know I saw them before, but didn't download them at the time, and now I can't find them ):

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2010 at 12:02pm: My son said that they passed out Navy stationery (including envelopes) to them when he was there in late 2009/early 2010. I had mailed some self-addressed stamped envelopes and he never used them. I guess it depends on the division. I did read that sometimes they run out, so I guess then they have to buy the kits.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on October 8, 2010 at 11:06am: my son said they have to buy stationary kits at the little store they have, but it isn't too expensive. He had something leak all over his envelopes and they all got sealed so was going to buy more stationary after I talked to him the other day. He said nothing is free and they have to purchase all their toiletries too.
