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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 30, 2011 at 2:37pm: Your SR will probably have to open the package that contain the contact lenses in front of their RDC, but it's ok for them to have them for graduation day only. My son was questioned by his RDC about how I knew to send them to him. He asked my son if my son had told me too and my son said "No sir" Then in an Ah ha moment, the RDC said "Oh, I bet it was that **** Navy4Moms" LOL The funniest part of it was, that I didn't find out on here, I found out on the Recruit Training Command Facebook page. lol He then just told my son to put them away until graduation morning. :)

Comment by SubWife5611 on January 30, 2011 at 2:08pm: I believe she meant the SR. They look forward to the little things so I'm positive that's what was meant. And anybody can send a letter as long as they have the address.
