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 nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 6, 2011 at 9:11am: Congrats sara:)
those 30 days will pass lyndsi! Mmm down to 22!

Comment by Sara on July 6, 2011 at 7:59am: Hey ladies! I'm settled in to base housing. We don't have internet so I'm using my phone. It pretty much sucks here so far but I'll get used to it soon. How's everyone doing? I'll post pictures of our house when we get internet.

Comment by Lyndsi on July 6, 2011 at 2:24am: i made it myself but i know that there is tons of navy apparel sites. the on nicole suggested is pretty good. and yes i am going. i cant wait only 30 more days :)

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 5, 2011 at 6:33pm: As far as photos, putting them in a word document, not sending legitimate photos on photo paper seems to be pretty safe(:

cafepress.com search navy girlfriend and tons of cute/cheap stuff comes up!:D

Comment by abuon18 on July 5, 2011 at 6:00pm: haha i think that would have been pretty mean... but a little funny too (well I don't know your guy's sense of humor but I know mine would take it in stride). Lyndsi where did you get your shirt from? Are you going to his PIR?

Comment by Lyndsi on July 5, 2011 at 5:57pm: his best friend was like take a pic of me in a speedo and send him that lol.... i thought that would be too cruel

Comment by abuon18 on July 5, 2011 at 5:41pm: haha I'm still going to tell him how much I love him and miss him! And I agree with you, anyone who is going to tease him is just jealous because all the other guys who have wives and girlfriends are gonna be getting the same thing!!

Comment by Lyndsi on July 5, 2011 at 5:37pm: lol thats what i thought too but then i was like im still gonna call him pumpkin in my letters and if the RDC reads it i will apologize later but any guy who makes fun of him is just jealous because he doesnt have a sexy supporting girlfriend to call them pet names lol :)

Comment by abuon18 on July 5, 2011 at 5:30pm: Thanks Lyndsi, I did already know... I have heard some even get their letters read by their RDC so at least for the first few weeks I am going to be super careful! I don't want to get him in trouble or embarrass him!

Comment by Lyndsi on July 5, 2011 at 5:28pm: PIR 8/5/2011 just received the shirt that i made for him. SO exciting

by the way when you start to send him mail make sure any pictures you send him are ones that you wouldnt mind everyone seeing. i was informed that if you have a picture in your envelope the RDC will open it and show everyone. just a heads up lol
