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 MommaC59 (SHIP 4 DIV814) on May 20, 2010 at 7:43pm: I got my letter too, and he included one for his dad (who's birthday is today), his best friend and his girlfriend. He is doing good. Says it's nothing like what he thought it would be. More studying and less PT than he expected! He misses music and time! We compared letters (all except his girlfriend, she hasn't received it yet) and he told us all pretty much the same thing, so I guess he's not gonna sugar coat it for momma...lol! He can't wait for graduation and closed with Only 40 days Momma! He used to do that counting down to his leave day! It would upset me then, now it excites me! Can't wait to get that first phone call now! Glad everyone's sons are doing well!

Comment by annafornavy on May 20, 2010 at 7:16pm: YEAH FOR OUR GROUP... We are all feeling better now... Lets hope those calls come on Sunday.. I cant wait to hear his voice. His letter made me smile all night and all day.. And I keep reading it over and over again... Not long now.. It is amazing how that little letter meant so much to our spirit... : )
