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 sammy on April 21, 2011 at 11:06pm: thanks for the tips jessicab-sailormom! very helpful!

well kim.. our boys might be doing extra pt afterall..

maybe they will let them slide since it is their first note.. they will probably just make him throw it away as soon as he opens it.. i dont know.. i read that they will pick on them for stuff like that. i sent my husband pictures, but i just printed them onto computer paper. i was worried about sending too many letters in one envelope because i didnt want it to be too thick but i think it will be fine...

Comment by KimT on April 21, 2011 at 10:31pm: I wish there were more organized information of what they are able to receive, because I never even thought about a musical card as being against the rules.

Comment by KimT on April 21, 2011 at 10:30pm: My son is going to kill us because we did send him a musical Easter card from his little sister. Hope he doesn't get in too much trouble :-(

Comment by missmysr(ship11div195) on April 21, 2011 at 10:12pm: Thanks for the tips and ideas!

Comment by missmysr(ship11div195) on April 21, 2011 at 9:56pm: I hope that's not true, because the letter I sent my son is a little thick (I wrote for several days before I got address), and it has an Easter card in it, although I'm sure it will be too late for Easter. I hope I didn't earn him extra PT.

Comment by sammy on April 21, 2011 at 9:51pm: Has anyone made a topic on what we are allowed to send recruits while in boot camp? Are they allowed to receive pictures? I read somewhere that they will be able to feel if there is something 'special' in the package and will make recruits do extra pt.. is this true?

Comment by missmysr(ship11div195) on April 21, 2011 at 9:46pm: Yay! I got my letter today, too! Chris, I am in CO, also. Anybody else? I sent Kyle a journal I have been keeping for him, just until I got his address. Now I expect he will be getting lots of mail from Aunts and Grandparents, as well. He said he is doing well but misses us. Made me teary-eyed all over again!

Comment by KimT on April 21, 2011 at 9:14pm: @samwalt: My son is in div 195, ship 11 too.

Comment by teach2(ship 11 div 200) on April 21, 2011 at 9:00pm: Has anyone whose recruit is in division 200 gotten your form letter yet??? I got my kid in a box today, but really want an address. Also- for real we PIR on the 10th?? Thought it would be later, but happy if so...
