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 kab on February 26, 2011 at 8:55pm: I sent 1st package today - - My son said the Navy only feeds them 3 meals a day!! -- so his package contains his protein bars & other munchies etc for the in between snacks !! Thanks for the picture cheffiona -

Comment by cheffiona on February 26, 2011 at 8:08pm: When i spoke to the ombudsman on wednesday she told me what i had to write onthe package and you have to put RANK/DIVISION/DEPT SAILORS NAME Ship name and LSD 45 FPO-AP 96662 1733 and allow 2-4 weeks for packages to get there.

@navynana have no clue how Bridgette got there that quick lol she also had the surgery to do with her teeth and before i got her email i had emailed the ombudsman and i have to their responses are really quick and i even got a message from the dental dept!! Im impressed!

I think i will start sending out a package every few days so that she will get 1 a week at least! Lets hope the marines chef is cooking up some good food in the galley lol trying to compete with the navy one lol When we were inthe galley while the sailors mustered you should have seen the food ontheir plates man they sure do eat a lot lol some of them had at least 6 hard boiled eggs and 2 of those "large" size cereal in a bowl and you add milk they also had at least 2 of those without what was on their plate and some of them went back for me! Nothing like a healthy appetite!

Comment by navynana on February 26, 2011 at 7:25pm: @Elane...thanks so much for the information. Anxious to hear some news from the ship.

@Fiona..Bridgette is always our gal. She's the one that knows how to communicate. How did she get to the computer first??? smart girl.

Comment by Elane on February 26, 2011 at 5:22pm: 3 hour ago message from the ship (or whomever is in charge of posting to Facebook) says that they are back online and trying to clear the huge Mail queue. and the emails will be available for them to use after that. So hopefully everyone will start hearing something.

@navynana. Not everyone on the ship is Division 2. my son's address does not include any division just his rate, name then the ship's full name and the FPO, AP and zip The post office on the ship is supposed to sort it. some work areas have people that are suppose to pick up the mail for the area others have them attend mail call when they can.

Comment by cheffiona on February 26, 2011 at 12:48pm: Got email from bridgette so something must be working on the ship only one line but hey shes ok!

Comment by cheffiona on February 26, 2011 at 12:16pm: contact the ships ombudsman they will be able to tell you i did this on wednesday and she was able to give me the correct and full address for my daughter!

Comment by navynana on February 26, 2011 at 12:08pm: I would like to send a package but am not certain of the division #...BM3 indicated that she mailed to Division 2. Is everyone on the Comstock Division 2? or where can I confirm this info? appreciate any help. Thanks

Comment by cheffiona on February 26, 2011 at 10:08am: I took quite a few pics when i went on the ship sunday when my daughter reported back from leave we were on there for over a hour and then again when ship deployed we were on there again for about the same time and then on the pier for about another hour as it did not pull away until 9.05 am when it should have been 8am lol but took lots as it was leaving and until we could not see it anymore as other ships were in the way and i got a picture of the green bay which left before our ship did not see the boxer leave though!

Comment by kab on February 26, 2011 at 9:08am: Does anyone know how we can get more pictures of the ships leaving SD ? Sounds like a lot of family took pictures - also families from the Boxer and GreenBay- would be nice to have pics of all 3 ships -
