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 susan on October 29, 2014 at 8:31am: Leanne sorry not sure if that is what you wanted to know but for mailing you use their address they gave you. And word to the wise if you live on the East Coast and sending to the East Coast my post office said its most likely better to go per weight, not a set price. You do have to fill in a customs form. Hope this all helps as am not sure what part of the question you needed answered. If you need to know what to put in them I can let you know too. Hope this helps

Comment by susan on October 29, 2014 at 8:25am: Leanne they are about to come back to port so I would not waste your money sending it now send it when they come back to port to his regular address. I sent one out about 3 weeks ago and my sailor is yet to get it. Hope this helps.
