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 diannep on April 21, 2011 at 3:02pm: here4kids: She may have been making a "supervised" call with navy personnel close by if she was calling for phone numbers and addresses (I'm assuming for clearance info). That makes th SRs a bit nervous...and they can't really say what they want to. She is still in the "overwhelmed" stage, but don't worry...this is the tough time but they get through it!

Comment by sailors_girl24 (ship09/div 197) on April 21, 2011 at 2:44pm: Finally got my SR address. His mom got his form letter today. He is ship 09 divison 197.

Gabby's mom Bliz and I are from Ohio.

Comment by KimT on April 21, 2011 at 2:40pm: We are located here in Brunswick, Ohio.

Comment by G'SMOM (SHIP 7 DIV 194) on April 21, 2011 at 1:43pm: anyone here from OHIO?

Comment by G'SMOM (SHIP 7 DIV 194) on April 21, 2011 at 1:43pm: thanks i sent 2 $10.00 ones yesturday and then got the form letter that night. the address was slightly different then the form letter so i bet they take a while to find her. i will buy more tomorrow maybe a refillable one. and then hope to even get a call. thanks

Comment by diannep on April 21, 2011 at 1:42pm: We usually suggest you get a phone card with at least 500 minutes on it, activate it, and mail it to them. Like Lala said, they can buy these at the NEX also. You can mail paper/envelopes/stamps a little at a time in each letter you send (i.e., a self-addressed stamped envelope/paper folded up in each letter you mail) or in a larger envelope where you can mail all at once.

Comment by Megs on April 21, 2011 at 1:41pm: Gabby...I heard they won't be able to receive mail or write for a couple of weeks. Each DIV has to train a "mail person." So I believe it depends on that. But, your SR will be able to go to the NEX to get a phone card. So don't worry...if your SR has the chance to call they will be able to:)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 21, 2011 at 1:38pm: You can send stamps and even self-addressed stamped envelopes. If you do that it will save them time and they can spend more time writing instead of addressing envelopes lol. You can also send a phone card, activate it before you send it. They can buy them at the next but if they haven't been given permission to go there or buy a phone card they could miss making a call. Get a phone card with plenty of minutes. They use up a lot of time (35 min) for every call that is made. busy signal, voice mail, lost connection, every call another 35 min used.

Comment by G'SMOM (SHIP 7 DIV 194) on April 21, 2011 at 1:28pm: anyone in the div. get any letters or calls yet? anyone know if you have to send the SR phone cards? or if they get to make calls if they havent gotten cards yet, would hate to miss the first allowed call because she didnt get mail yet. what about stamps and stuff? should I send some? i havent seen anything yet on this
