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 Chris& Justin's mom on July 17, 2011 at 10:50pm: Diannep-veteran, thanks I'll look into that.

Comment by diannep on July 17, 2011 at 10:43pm: Chris'mom: Maybe you can go down to the Greyhound bus station in your city and check it out with them there. I'm seeing online that there is a bus station in Waukegan, which is right there by Great Lakes. There is also a train if you want to look into taking that.

Comment by Chris& Justin's mom on July 17, 2011 at 10:37pm: Hi y'all I'm just wanting to check if y'all knew about any Greyhound buses going out there. I've been looking online but it ready doesn't give any info.

Comment by 1DYBUGs Mom/Dana - S9/D280 on July 17, 2011 at 10:36pm: We are booked at the Navy lodge.

Comment by TexasLiz on July 17, 2011 at 10:16pm: He called me tonight just to tell me he didnt write my full address for his box and form letter. So, basically he called to give me his address and graduation date. But, I had called his recruiter this past week to get his address so I hadent been able to send anything out until Wednesday morning. Thats when he was able to ask me why he hasent received anything and he was able to tell me why I hadent either. That was the first anything I've heard from him since he left.

Comment by diannep on July 17, 2011 at 10:13pm: TexasLiz: They hold their mail for the first 2 weeks. Did he call you or did he say this in a letter? Because sometimes the letters cross in the mail!

Comment by TexasLiz on July 17, 2011 at 10:08pm: Okay thanks, I dont know why his recruiter told me to add in the ship name. But tonight I'll just exclude that. It was horrible hearing from him "why havent I gotten any letters yet" :( But I've only had his address since tuesday(evening), so maybe they just havent gotten to him yet

Comment by TexasLiz on July 17, 2011 at 9:58pm: I have a quick question for everyone who writes their SRs... Do you include the ship name in the address line right under their name? and then their ship/div number street address then city state zip?? Because thats the way his recruiter told me to address it
