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 otty (ship 02 div 920) on February 20, 2011 at 10:21pm: OK. It's been driving me crazy. I'm trying to find info on the airports, mainly Milwaukee airport. But come to find out it is not in Illinois. It's in Wisconsin!!

Thought I would share in case any of you are going thru the same dead end search.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 20, 2011 at 9:50pm: ntz- that is awesome that you got the form letter and that she lieks the RDC this early is very good. She will probably be one of those who come out of bootcamp saying they love it.

Comment by otty (ship 02 div 920) on February 20, 2011 at 9:06pm: Yay ntz!! Glad she is happy.

Comment by ntz4laa (HM Mom) on February 20, 2011 at 9:05pm: I just got back into town and checked my mail. My form letter came! My DD sounds good~ the note definitely sounded like her. She actually said she likes her RDC. What a relief to get the letter!

Comment by otty (ship 02 div 920) on February 20, 2011 at 9:04pm: Thanks ladies for all the info on the fb pages. I will seek them out!

Jen-love it! I did the same sniffin'. Yup, I admit it!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 20, 2011 at 9:04pm: Jen believe me you are not the first nor will you be the last to do that lol. You should take a pic of the cat laying on his coat and send it to him. I bet he would love that.

Comment by JenSpen on February 20, 2011 at 9:02pm: When my son's clothes arrived, I put his carhartt coat down for his cat to sleep on it, she sleeps nowhere but on his coat, and of course I smelled his shirt, just to get his scent...call me nuts, but I did...LOL

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 20, 2011 at 8:15pm: It is great that they have a holiday tomorrow YAY, but that also means the mail won't run tomorrow :-( I am back from a scrapbook crop for the weekend. We had a great time and I got a lot of Navy scrapbook stuff made for my sailors scrapbook. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have my fingers crossed for you all to get letters this week :-) and who knows maybe they wrote letters today and will get to write more tomorrow.
