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 diannep on January 29, 2011 at 9:23pm: wmax: You mean as far as makeup, etc? Or "goodie" packages? They aren't allowed to have any packages like that, but are allowed to receive contacts to be worn at PIR and some makeup, etc for the same reason. Maybe a mom of a female SR can add to this post since I have sons!

AndrewsMom: Sometimes the box comes first, sometimes the form letter. The form letter should be coming next week.

Comment by AndrewsMom on January 29, 2011 at 9:20pm: Hello all, we got the form letter today but still no box. Is that suppose to come before or after the form letter? Glad we have all made it through the first week and anxiously waiting for the next 7 to pass quickly!!

Comment by wmax33 <Ship 7 Div 108> on January 29, 2011 at 9:18pm: Can someone please tell me what we are allowed to send to our SR's at bootcamp? I can't seem to access the link her form letter gave me.

Comment by Junebug (Ship 2 Div 918) on January 29, 2011 at 8:10pm: "Oh wait a minute Mr. Postman....I've been waiting to hear from that boy of mine."

So glad to hear that letters are arriving. :)

SeaBeeWifeDawn: No letter for us either. Maybe Monday.

Comment by NavyMaMa23 on January 29, 2011 at 7:51pm: Hi,

Just wanted to let everyone know that we found a really good deal on MCI calling cards at Rite Aid. I don't know if its at all of them but check it out. We got 650 mins for $30 and then a free card wit the same amount of minutes. So a total of 1300 mins for $30 bucks!

Comment by Robin(ship02div918) on January 29, 2011 at 7:27pm: The letter from my son was much different than I expected. Yes, he confirmed the blisters and the shots from hell. But, on another note he was upbeat and felt it wasn't that bad. I was preparing myself for the worse but I felt so much better after reading it. He did say it sorta resembled a prison atmosphere like mentioned below. He also said there were no calendars and to please send him a small one.

Comment by cinder on January 29, 2011 at 6:51pm: I have to admit it did make me laugh.

Comment by cinder on January 29, 2011 at 6:49pm: Angie,

Wow it sounds terrible. Thank you for sharing your letter.

Comment by wmax33 <Ship 7 Div 108> on January 29, 2011 at 6:25pm: I got my daughters form letter last night, I went out today bought a bunch of cards to send out in mass with all the letters we have already written her. I'm so excited we now have her address and a graduation date.

Comment by SubWife5611 on January 29, 2011 at 5:44pm: SeabeeWifeDawn: Still nothing at all here either. No box. No Form Letter:( Or am I messed up on my dates? He arrived in GL on the 20th...
