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 aksr (Daniel's mom) on May 30, 2013 at 11:14pm: Hello. My son is in Naples working in the Peds clinic. Welcome.

Comment by ctav01 on April 2, 2013 at 4:32am: Thanks for the suggestions. Just found out she's going to Sigonella on Sicily. Any information I could pass on?

Comment by aksr (Daniel's mom) on April 1, 2013 at 8:33pm: Sheets were defiantly one of the first things my son requested. I sends a lot of candy to the Peds clinic, funny gag gifts, movies,pictures, kitchen items. They only bake with a small convection oven, Airborne. Make sure you pack in the flat rate boxes, I packed in the wrong box one time it was $65. I went home and repacked.

Comment by Ashley's Mom on April 1, 2013 at 5:08pm: I send everything priority and it gets there within a week or less. If you send regular it's at a snails pace.

Comment by sheryl Navy 2 on April 1, 2013 at 11:00am: @ctav01. My sailor has been at the Capo clinic for just over a year now . Bed sheets were on the top of his list , Tupperware anything to cook or eat with . He does great meals for he and his buddies but not much is in their room.
I pretty much send anything I would overseas ,just make sure you use the If it Fits It Ships boxes free from your post office . Good luck to you and your sailor :)

Comment by ctav01 on April 1, 2013 at 8:21am: Wondering what kinds of care packages you send to the sailors in Italy. My daughter just graduated from her LS school in Mississippi and is "supposed" to be on her way to Italy sometime this month.

Comment by sheryl Navy 2 on March 19, 2013 at 9:54pm: My youngest sailor is at the clinic at Capo.just getting ready for advancement on Thursday . Good luck to all your sailors taking it ......again !

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on March 11, 2013 at 8:10pm: My son was on Capo for over two years and loved it. It is the smaller base but if you have a car you can drive to the other base. When Stephen first got there they has buses that would take them back and forth but then budget cuts. Best of luck to Zach!

Comment by Zman'smom on March 6, 2013 at 7:34pm: My son, Zach, is all settled in. His orders said Gaeta, but before he got off the plane, he was told that he would be at Capo. Woohoo!! Zach has been there almost a month now, is all settled in, and loving it! It's still hard having him so far away, but we FaceTime almost everyday and thank God for technology!

Comment by Pam on February 28, 2013 at 12:59pm: Welcome to the group aksr. My son is no longer in Italy but he loved the people he worked with a whole lot!
