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 diannep on August 18, 2011 at 4:36pm: Amom: Our mail delivery is so bad now (and we are in a big city!)....they arrive at my house after dark many times! UGH! Nothing like going through bills when you are settling down for the night...

yes, xraychic. Bootcamp mail is the best! After bootcamp, when texting/calling/emailing are back, then your mailbox again becomes a place to collect junk mail and tell you how much you owe everyone!

Comment by xraychic1 (Ship 12 Div 312) on August 18, 2011 at 4:31pm: Got 4 letters today!!!! Last one said things are getting harder, but he is giving it his all! Never thought I would look forward to checking the mail :)

Comment by Aproudmom on August 18, 2011 at 4:24pm: Diannep I agree I will proabably scare her away. Our mail can come anytime between noon and five. It is so frustrating. I did drive down the street to go to my mom's house and didn't see her anywhere. I have a letter in my box with the flag up since 8 AM so I know she hasn't come by yet.

Comment by diannep on August 18, 2011 at 4:18pm: Amom: Don't scare the mail lady...I think that is a "federal offense!" :-) The look on a N4Mom's face, with an SR in Navy bootcamp,...anxiously waiting for a letter from him/her....rather frightening, don't you think??? :-)

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on August 18, 2011 at 3:14pm: My sons bday is next week.

Comment by tina41 on August 18, 2011 at 2:54pm: congrats sheshe!!!! i got two letters today! they are collecting them on sundays, then mailing them out either monday or tuesday SR is doing good. he passed one test and said he has two more to take. i am thinking these are the written ones. he said his division will be on the far right side when facing the bleachers

Comment by Aproudmom on August 18, 2011 at 2:36pm: If my mail lady doesn't come soon I might have to start walking down the street to find her. Today should be letter day. It has been a week. Come on mail lady!!
