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 Jana on August 1, 2011 at 9:07pm: Kimberly--105 here in Nacogdoches today, and the rest of the week is supposed to be worse

Comment by Peyt's Mom on August 1, 2011 at 7:53pm: Yes, that handwriting does do my heart good, and it is so cool that it was written where I can actually read it!!!! No, seriously it is amazing how just those few little lines can make all the difference!

Comment by Kimberly on August 1, 2011 at 7:37pm: 111 outside my car today-- god wnts us to know heat heat feels like in Afganistan........ No 70 pounds on us tho

Comment by Peyt's Mom on August 1, 2011 at 6:34pm: OK, I just got the form letter in the mail...PIR is Sept 23!!!

WooHoo! I'll take those 4 little hand written lines, he sounds good!

Comment by Jana on August 1, 2011 at 2:37pm: I got the box and the form letter on the same day--6 days after he shipped, so I think there is lots of variation when people receive the form letter. I think in my case, he must have gotten there just when the division was filling up, because he's in a push division-will only have been in bc 7 weeks when he graduates.

Comment by alexh_sailor on August 1, 2011 at 2:17pm: peyt's mom, you will recieve the form letter in a couple more weeks. The 'kid in a box' with personal effects is shipped out within a day or two of your Seaman Recruit arriving at Boot camp.

Comment by Peyt's Mom on August 1, 2011 at 1:19pm: OK, confused...I just got my kid in a box...all clothes, cell phone, shoes, but no form letter...now what?
Called the recruiter but he is out.

Comment by Brenda Sue on August 1, 2011 at 11:39am: I've heard that not all ships allow those. You might want to check before ordering one!

Comment by Trey's Mom on August 1, 2011 at 11:37am: Gift idea for our sailors.
