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 IndianaMom on September 15, 2010 at 8:22pm: I received my son's address today! Yeah! Ship 7 Div 356

Comment by Brooklyn on September 15, 2010 at 7:46pm: I haven't called the recruiter...I will try tomorrow :)

I received the box yesterday so hopefully tomorrow or friday

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 15, 2010 at 7:36pm: @Blyn, did you get an address from the recruiter? I got a temporary address on Thursday after he left. The address from them was almost the same and from what I've gathered from this site all mail will find him.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 15, 2010 at 7:35pm: @Blyn, he left last Tuesday. Kid in a box came Friday, six minute phone call came Friday early evening.

Comment by Brooklyn on September 15, 2010 at 7:10pm: Laura-- what day did your son leave? Just wondering when I will get my letter :)

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 15, 2010 at 7:02pm: Hi all, just got my son's form letter with his PIR date and actual address. Looks like he's in ship 7, div 355.

Comment by Brooklyn on September 15, 2010 at 2:40pm: very cool...

Glad to have you here and Nov. 5 won't be soon enough :)

Comment by Lynne on September 15, 2010 at 1:43pm: Cardinal Company was a group of 86 young men who are sponsored by the St. Louis Cardinals. All of these young men met in St. Louis on August 31st and participated in activities starting out navy week on September 3rd. They were sworn in by the Asst. Rear Admiral of the Navy and put on a bus for Boot Camp. They remain together for boot camp.

Comment by Brooklyn on September 15, 2010 at 10:37am: Not sure if any of yall have answered this yet, but what is a Cardinal Company? I've never heard the term before.
