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."

Dee and Sandy, My son went to the USO and bought a phone for $15 that gave him 70 minutes of calls.  His regular cell phone is Verizon and it would not work there.  Maybe that is why you have heard nothing.  You could send an e-mail to your sailors and see if they know they can purchase phones there.

No it was from a port.  Maybe you will get one soon as well.
Comment by Harriet (USMC son on Green Bay) on May 16, 2011 at 1:54pm
Dee, our son (USMC on GB) has called us a couple of times after reserving a satellite phone.  I don't know if that is something only available for Marines or for anyone on the GB.  The phone number has always been the same (area code 808 out of Hawaii even though that isn't where the ship is) so I put it in my contacts and used the same ringtone as I use for my son's cell number so I know it is him calling and can answer it quickly!
