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 m'smom on July 12, 2010 at 9:29am: Just talked to the Recruiting Station. They said to use the address inside the form letter. For disivion 285 that is the 3600. They said the other will also get there (3120) but the 3600 will be quicker. Have letter 6 waiting for the mailman. Hope you all had a great weekend. This is the week I will miss my son the most. We have a picnic for a group we belong to this Saturday. About 60 people if you count the kids. My son does alot of the set-up for this every year. Guess Mom and Dad will have to work twice as hard. Only good thing is everyone brings food, so all I have to do is have the house ready!
nikosmom- I love things that come together like that. It gives me hope and reminds me that there is someone else watching over all of this. Keep praying.

Comment by tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on July 11, 2010 at 9:39pm: niko's mom-that is so neat!

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 11, 2010 at 7:39pm: That is a great coincidence. Thats amazing.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 11, 2010 at 5:07pm: That crazy.. well that means his supply will get to him sooner than the letters. Thank you for the heads up. That is so funny. ;o).

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 11, 2010 at 4:40pm: I saw what you were talking about. Dont worry either way it will get to them. The only reason why we got letters before the form is because their BC didnt really start til this week. So we should be getting forms soon and that will help clear up. At first I was so nervous about the address but i figure it had his division and ship number and name they will give it to him no matter what. And another mom here made me feel more at ease. Lets just all be confused together ;o)

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 11, 2010 at 4:10pm: I*

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 11, 2010 at 4:09pm: Thats why i been confused. A website i found had the same as the recruiter. Then when i got the letter i mailed it to that address 3600 then found another site that said 3120 so i continue to mail at 3120 either way they still get o heard.

Comment by tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on July 11, 2010 at 3:58pm: The recruiter gave me 3600 the RCT website gives 3600. I am confused now.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 11, 2010 at 3:56pm: They told me to mail to 3120 well i won't know til this week for the form letter.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 11, 2010 at 3:54pm: Their return address is 3120 where they mailing from 3600. trust me I was confused. The recruiter and another website gave that address. I send his supply to 3600. Thats why cant wait to get the form letter.
