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."

My son signs up for day trips, alot of hiking. Im also sending basic stuff. the rest will be money or a card to the Nex. I hope this helps some what. :O)

Comment by Bubsmom USS Blue Ridge Yokosuka on November 21, 2012 at 12:33pm: Ok. I'm new! lol I don't see any really recent posts but if any of you have had kids on the USS Blue Ridge for a while, would you be able to help me figure out what my son may like to get for Christmas? I have a few things ready, but I know there are probably some specific things they might like to have.

Comment by jam's mom (Patty) on October 2, 2012 at 1:05pm: rhonda, that does not look right my son has a DIV # and a unit #.

Comment by rhonda0366 on October 2, 2012 at 12:38pm: Can anyone tell me what the address for the USS Blue Ridge is? I am wanting to send something to my son and he gave me USA Blue Ridge (LCC 19) FPO AP 96628-3300. Does this look familiar?

Comment by rhonda0366 on September 19, 2012 at 3:19pm: My son is headed to the USS Blue Ridge on Saturday 9/22/12. He was supposed to be there on the 17th. Guess he will get there one way or another. lol Glad to be here.
