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 blessedpr on April 18, 2010 at 9:02am: Hello...I got a call from my son. He was a little down, but I just continued to encourage him.. I hope to get to meet you all at MG at the ramada.

Comment by ILNavyMom2010 on April 16, 2010 at 11:14pm: Marlinspike this week for some divisions.

Comment by Arwen on April 15, 2010 at 9:34pm: Fold it up and put it in a smaller manila envelope, with the ziploc. Don't forget to get it weighed at the post office to make sure it doesn't get returned to you! And make sure you have a lot of postage on the SASE, being full of earlier mail will make it really heavy.

Comment by Arwen on April 15, 2010 at 11:32am: Jessica, yes, you can send that SASE manila envelope.

Some parents send a quart-size ziplock baggie, too, to store their mail. That way when the RDCs toss their racks (literally, they toss everything in the rack out on the floor) they don't waste time picking up scattered pages of letters from the floor.

Also, after the 4th week many RDCs allow "female care packages" that contain favorite brand "sanitary items" (pads, tampons) for your girls.

Comment by Jessica on April 14, 2010 at 8:57pm: Does anyone know if I am allowed to send a self addressed manilla envelope so they can send all their mail back to make room for the new mail?

Comment by Skins Mom (Ship 12 Div 186) on April 14, 2010 at 1:14am: JessicaB-Sailor Mom, Thanks a million! I found it!!! 2 absolutely great letters today! No phone call, but from what he wrote he has been a very busy man! Yes he has been very busy, a lot of testing for academics lately. Great news to share, ship 12 div 186 earned the academic flag! They will have this flag to carry during graduation! Congrats to all! It sounds as though they are really coming together as a team! Thanks in part to Chet whomever that is, he didn't say in the letter, but Chet is doing a great job of keeping them focused! So thank you to Chet!!
To CCsWifey, I'm so happy that you got your call! I'm patient, i know that mine is coming soon!
