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 Kac46047 on July 26, 2011 at 4:18pm: abuon I got the form letter like a week after everyone else in my PIR got it. I was in major freak out mode. Then I dunno why but he sent it to My parents house? I dind't even live there lol so i had to drive 2 1\2 hours home to get it because i wasn't going another couple days without it. (I wouldn't let them open it, i wanted to see the little note inside lol) So I'd wait, dont let it break your heart when you get the first couple letters from him asking why you havn't been writing. Thats what happened to me, then he got like 12 letters at once, that was a fun letter to read. Hang in there

Comment by abuon18 on July 26, 2011 at 3:51pm: I'm trying to but I'm not a patient person at all normally! They've had the box since last Tuesday, that didn't take any longer than usual to get there.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 26, 2011 at 3:49pm: give it a little more time, we got the box about 3 days prior to the letter.

Comment by abuon18 on July 26, 2011 at 3:48pm: It's been a week already since everyone else started receiving theirs. I know he addressed it, but he addressed the box too right? And that got to his parents. I stay in touch with his parents and they would have told me if they received it, I do know that it is getting sent to them. I was planning on calling his recruiter but wasn't sure if I'm just over reacting and should give it more time?

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 26, 2011 at 3:45pm: some get addressed wrong, or mixed in the mail, i'd give it a week, if not, call his parents, they may have gotten it? or his recruiter(wouldnt have recieved it, but may know)

Comment by abuon18 on July 26, 2011 at 3:41pm: Still haven't received my boyfriend's form letter.... he left on 7/12 so I'm getting kind of worried, everyone else seems to have received theirs a week ago!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 26, 2011 at 9:51am: KAC-it took a LOT of concentration to keep my hand study. i shushed my friends like 6x lol

Comment by Kac46047 on July 26, 2011 at 9:08am: nicole i just poped in here and saw your shirt, if i ever tried to do somehting like that it would end up like a 5 yr old did it lol. It looks great!
