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."

Is that really a good idea to post the address on line? Just asking? Seems like might it fall into the OPSEC arena...

Hi!
Just wanted to let you know that APO and FPO addresses all go to New Jersey. From there, they are shipped out around the world by the military (they are no longer in the US Postal system from that point).
So, these addressees don't give away a ships location. -

Where can you find the latest news? The last articles about USS Harry Truman were dated in the late June. There is nothing else I can find about the situation on Persian Gulf. Please tell me what and where I can read the about current situation in that region? Thank you
