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 Cindy on August 15, 2015 at 6:55pm: Hello everyone, my son reported to 32nd street this week after a transfer from Mayport, FL. Yay that he is in CA where he grew up, but dealing with housing arrangements that did not work out...anyone know of room, apartment or similar available soon?

Comment by FlBroomie on August 1, 2015 at 10:49am: My son got a P.O.Box last week but hasnt shared the address with me yet-sigh.Since he got his car hes been sort of a taxi service for his naval friends there.

Comment by Labornurse on July 30, 2015 at 10:46pm: No mail service on NBSD 32nd street. My son has had a PO Box, makes sending care pkg real simple! I highly recommend getting one.
Happy Friday everyone :)

Comment by Noni on July 23, 2015 at 6:06pm: Orlander- happy Dance!

Comment by FlBroomie on July 23, 2015 at 9:12am: Noni- My son is in SD just for training until Nov. His ship is currently in dry dock at his assigned base in Hawaii. Yes he did get a car a model he has talked about for 2 years a Kia Soul. His LPO also advised him he may be going for further training at another base possibly in Washington but all that is still in the works per the LPO

Comment by Noni on July 22, 2015 at 8:10pm: FIBroomie - he also should have a email thru his ship.

Comment by Noni on July 22, 2015 at 8:06pm: FIBROOMIE - Monica is at the same base. He did get a car? She has to walk almost a 1/2 mile to get to her car. They receive mail. Is he in the Barrick or staying on ship?

Comment by splash on July 22, 2015 at 4:40pm: My daughter is on the Amphib base ans she does have an address but it takes 3 weeks to get a 2 day priority box. I usually send to one of her friends that lives off base. I have sent FedEx and had it held for pickup.

Comment by FlBroomie on July 22, 2015 at 4:36pm: Finall found out which base he is at -32-. Now he tells me he has no address there and that he went and got a P>O> box today. Is this correct . They dont receive mail there ?

Comment by FlBroomie on July 22, 2015 at 11:43am: Splash- look up the history for the Sunshine Skyway bridge. It collapsed in 1980. Check out wikipedia. I got a close up view of the bridge and the Summit Venture a day after the collapse when my X decided we should take our boat and go help in the search for victims. I think that experience is what really increased my fear of heights and bridges.
