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 abuon18 on July 26, 2011 at 5:50pm: His parents didn't get it either Lyndsi? I know the real letter is way better, I'm not getting the form letter anyway, his parents are. I just want to know that everything is alright and am not gonna lie, definitely a little worried that something is wrong. But I'm a little reassured because it seems pretty common after all!

Comment by Kac46047 on July 26, 2011 at 5:49pm: the form letter gives your the gate password though

Comment by Lyndsi on July 26, 2011 at 5:34pm: Abuon i am a week and a half away from his graduation and still havent gotten his form letter lol. for some reason or another some of them dont get sent out. just look forward to his actual letter, its way better than the "form" letter and you have plenty of time to find out any info you need :)

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 26, 2011 at 5:15pm: I swear. I get along with my WHOLE office, except one woman. She complained she "didn't have enough tasks" yes, she's been here longer than i, but she hardly shows up for work, but for extensive reasons i dont want to explain, they cant fire her. Well, we had a task meeting a few weeks ago, to give all admins. equal tasks and sucks...she was given the task to keep our kitchen stocked. Simply keeping the pop stocked in the fridge, and the chips in the bowl. That's about it. I clean the floors, do the dishes, clean counters etc in the kitchen. Today she got groceries, then goes "can you do your job and stock the pop?" this is a good job, so avoiding confrentation i just said yeah, sure, went and did it. i come back to my desk "you didnt stock chips??"..im about to snap. do your OWN damn job, because i do mine, and a majority of yours!!! OH my lord. Sorry- needed to vent.

Comment by abuon18 on July 26, 2011 at 4:50pm: I wasn't expecting anything until later in the week, but I don't know if I could last much longer than that! lol Thanks Kac!

Comment by Kac46047 on July 26, 2011 at 4:47pm: lol i nevver got letters the beginning of the week so hang in there, mine always came thurs fri and sat.

Comment by abuon18 on July 26, 2011 at 4:41pm: So he was still able to get his letters sent out on time? My bf was supposed to be able to write this past Sunday... that's one of the things I was worried about, if for some reason he got held back and wouldn't be able to write! I don't know if I can handle another week of not hearing from him!

Comment by Kac46047 on July 26, 2011 at 4:37pm: Yeah I told myself if i didn't recieve the form letter at the end of the week I was gonna track down his recruiter lol. Thats good that you have the address. I remember getting it on a friday then the following day i got my first letter. All that stress for nothing lol

Comment by abuon18 on July 26, 2011 at 4:30pm: Thanks Kac! I did cheat, I got his address from his recruiter (but I've only sent a couple of letters, I'm waiting on sending the rest until I officially get the address, in case she was mistaken!). So I mostly just want it for confirmation that his address & PIR is right, and also I was wondering if there was some reason it was taking so long! But since it took you longer too I feel much better!
