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 sailormom ship 3 div 146 on March 11, 2011 at 11:04am: Faye don't be sad I'm sure you'll hear something soon! They are not sleeping much and have little time to write. I wonder if they know each other, that's silly, I'm sure they do. Keep me posted. :)

Comment by sailormom ship 3 div 146 on March 11, 2011 at 10:51am: danag2011 - My daughter is in Sip 03 Div 146. I got my first letter yesterday. She wrote it a few days after she was there. Can't wait to get my next one. Please keep in touch...

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 11, 2011 at 8:23am: They receive mail every day except Sundays and the write on Sundays and put it in the box to be mailed on Monday.

Comment by SamanthaGPF<3 (Ship 03/Div.147) on March 11, 2011 at 1:07am: Do they receive mail everyday?...or do they just receive our mail on Sundays?? Or is it that they can only write letters on Sundays...? Just curious!

Comment by danag2011 on March 10, 2011 at 10:24pm: Is there anyone else that is in Ship 03 Div 146? My son left three weeks ago and it is just starting to sink in. We received a letter yesterday, so that was good.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on March 10, 2011 at 10:12pm: I'm not sure where it was started... I think it was started as a group. How do we change it?

Comment by missa_m on March 10, 2011 at 9:43pm: Got my letter (in Northern NJ)! Div 923 is already prepping for graduation. My boyfriend's only complaint is about sleeping on the top bunk. Ha.
