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 Megs-Sailor Wife on March 14, 2011 at 8:44pm: *diannep-No all the stickers were inside, on the letters.....well except one. She picked out a card and we mailed it today but before I went to go and take it to the mailbox she said, "Oh wait mom I NEED to put this on there!" So she put a small heart one one the outside in the back by the flap. I hope they don't give him too hard of a time I mean come on it's from his daughter!!! Do they open the mail and see what we write to them??

Comment by NavyGF staying strong on March 14, 2011 at 8:44pm: Hey Mom Carla,
I hope your doing okay & having a good day. I'm doing good today. We all have our good days & bad days but by meeting so many wonderful ladies on here & other sites, I've been having better days. Oh, I asked because I read something on here that each division has a brother division so they tend to do things the same time. By the way, when did your sr get to bootcamp. Mines got there february 23.

Comment by momcarla on March 14, 2011 at 8:19pm: BridgettePaulette, My SR is ship 03/Div148 and no letter yet! I received the form letter but no actual newsy letter.

Comment by J'smomAME-Norfolk on March 14, 2011 at 7:55pm: do the SR ever get to go outside? I love looking at the temperature and chuckling that it is at least 40 degrees warmer in Fl where my SR is from!!

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on March 14, 2011 at 7:36pm: My son got baptized the day before he left for boot camp and I mailed him the church bulletin because it had his name in it. Do the RDCs or whoever they are called look to see what is in the envelope? I hope he does not get harrassed for that.

bn4: wow..really? Oh well we are learning.

Comment by NavyGF staying strong on March 14, 2011 at 7:13pm: HEY, is there anyone else who did not get a letter yet. My sr is in ship 03 Div 147 and the other gfs/moms/wive haven't received one from that division either. If there is anyone else from another Div who has the same pir, can you let me know because our divisions may be brother divisions which means they may make call homes the same day and etc. :-) (Stay strong everyone)

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on March 14, 2011 at 6:30pm: I was just inviting another mom from my sr's div to come join us on here! :) Oh well! They were nice about it and "suggested" sending a private message instead so now I have a new "friend" on facebook!

Comment by diannep on March 14, 2011 at 6:18pm: ...meant bn4givn.....sorry....

Comment by diannep on March 14, 2011 at 6:17pm: Yep, bnrgiven: They don't seem to care for us too much....oh well....we just try to help!

MegsSailorWife: Well, I assume the stickers are outside on the envelope? Hmmm....just depends on the RDCs. Some may just harrass him a little, others may go a bit further...I wouldn't worry about it. Next time...maybe a few stickers on the letter itself instead! ORRRR....none at all! :-)
