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 Sailor's Sweetheart on July 21, 2010 at 5:57pm: I love those Hoops and Yoyo cards. I swear, I was in Hallmark the other day for aobut 30min listening to all of them. I was laughing SO hard, the lady working probably thought I as really wierd... or just annoying...oh well, it was SO funny!!! I bought a couple of those cards where you have 10sec to record your voice before the song starts but the only kind they had were Birthday Cards, haha! I mailed one a couple days ago anyways! I just figured that since my SR's birthday is on 8/22 I am going to start celebrating his birthday a month early :) I now have three "birthday cards" for him just so that I can send him my voice, LOL! I want to go back and get a couple Hoops and Yoyo cards, they are so funny!!!
Also, I got MAIL! I got three letters, a fill in the blank to fill out and mail back to him, and a letter addressed to our puppy, Dazzle, awwww it so so cute! I love Wednesday mail days!
CJ: Maybe your son was the one on watch that my SR told me about who could not make the call untill a later time since he was on watch???
Amber: O-pen-it! O-pen-it! O-pen-it! *Chanting* I know your not supposed to but I SO would, I would not be able to hold back, LOL!

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on July 21, 2010 at 4:53pm: Amber: I put division 272 which I dont know if that one even exists lol! I had written out three envelops and sent out only two so when I got home I noticed but it was too late to go hunt them down at the post office.
SailorSweetheart: Thank you! I hope they do get to him. Its so nerve wrecking not knowing if he's gotten any of my letters yet.

Comment by jetcar on July 21, 2010 at 4:44pm: LOL!!!! Amber I don't think I could hold myself back....for th good of my sanity >=)

JD's Angel - I LOVE those Hoops and Yoyo cards. My friend sent me one from NYC that I still have that is about coffee (Cause I LOVE coffee)

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on July 21, 2010 at 3:07pm: My son wrote a letter to his "uncle John", we all live in the same house, so it's sitting on the kitchen counter, torturing me, i want to read it soooo badly. LOL

Comment by JDs~Angel~ (RCU) on July 21, 2010 at 2:47pm: jetcar: on those sound ones... you ever listen to the Hoops and Yoyo cards? OMG they are so dang funny.

Comment by JDs~Angel~ (RCU) on July 21, 2010 at 2:46pm: and no mail for me today. I accosted the mail man when he was a few condo buildings down. Just junk mail. ugh. He probably thought I was crazy!

Comment by JDs~Angel~ (RCU) on July 21, 2010 at 2:44pm: Grrrr. AirTran is being stupid. They upped my fair by $20. each way. grrrr. I'm hoping it's just a bad Wednesday buy time. I think I'll wait and try again in a few hours or early early tomorrow morning. I hate this stupid airfare game. BTW, in our Form letter it said that the division grad will not change, but the individual might. I don't think they can hold back ALL of them.

Comment by jetcar on July 21, 2010 at 2:42pm: Got 3 more letters today! He says the chief likes those "sound" cards as long as their funny....so he says i am now allowed to send them *giggle* :-)

Comment by CJ - Chris' Mom (Ship 7-Div 283) on July 21, 2010 at 2:14pm: I am starting to get worred ... I did not get my call yesterday - does anyone know when the next calls will be allowed?
