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 Melh1215(ship 09,div 016) on November 10, 2010 at 11:05pm: Hey Sherri - I think there's a phone number you have to call, also - in addition to faxing the blue form. It's on one of the forms with directions. I so wish I was going for Thanksgiving but I can't get off work Friday, either.
My recent letters are also very upbeat. He got to go shopping at the NEX for his division and was SO excited to buy stationary, tooth paste, deodorant and lotion - since the cold weather is so hard on thier skin (he's a southern boy). I thought it was awesome for him to get so excited about something that SEEMS so trivial to the outside world!

Comment by Sherri_M on November 10, 2010 at 10:55pm: Hey Emily...hoping you get a letter Friday! I was soooo excited to get my letters today! Can't wait for the phone call!!!

Comment by Lou2 on November 10, 2010 at 10:15pm: I thought that was my duty as your future MIL :-)

Comment by Lou2 on November 10, 2010 at 9:35pm: I just remember -- mail will not be delivered Thursday. It's Veterans Day. Can't complain about that.

Comment by Ashley (Ship09 Div009) on November 10, 2010 at 9:30pm: my boyfriends check was smaller too but he informed me that he had to spend $550 on supplies when he got to boot camp and that the first check would be small... they get paid the 1st and 15th of every month..

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on November 10, 2010 at 9:22pm: Got another letter today. Brandon is doing great. He is really excited to get to GC for Nuke A School. I am so happy he sounds better and better with every letter.

Comment by diannep on November 10, 2010 at 9:14pm: they get paid twice a month. His small 1st check is probably because they took out for his uniforms.

Comment by chandlersmom on November 10, 2010 at 8:24pm: Hey my Son only got a partial pay check I guess very small is that what yours got? Do you know how often he will get paid? We are paying his car payment from it and I wanted to set up auto payments.
