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 Largefilipino on September 24, 2010 at 6:08pm: It was hard on us when the Kearsarge left for deployment early because our daughter was to have a 10 day leave. She hasn't been home to Colorado since Christmas of last year. I think when this deployment is over at least I can get my wife to be there in VA. Thank You for this forum. I'm a Navy Dad but even Dads worry about their little girl. And thanks for this MotoMail info. Just sent one out. So what do you guys put in your care packages?

Comment by Susinovoa91 on September 24, 2010 at 2:05am: Hello everyone...
Im reading on FB page that a lot of girls r receiving emails.....i hope that I and all of us get to talk to our sailors/marines soon!!

Comment by DCT MOM on September 22, 2010 at 9:32pm: Ladies. Go to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Units FB page there is some awsome photos of the ship. There are 3 different sets. just browz through them. some of them going through the canal are beautiful.

Comment by DCT MOM on September 22, 2010 at 7:14pm: all of my motomail has gone through also, On the fbpage that the Marines have . said that when they are in RC the moto mail cant be sent. so that is why it took so long for our letters to go out. my last letter i wrote last night and it went throught also so hopefully they will all go through sooner now.

Comment by embarkguru on September 22, 2010 at 6:52pm: Julie, they can not use the NEX cards on ship. The ship uses only their Navy Cash card (like a credit card).

Comment by Lori on September 22, 2010 at 6:45pm: My Mail also went through today! must be the day it goes out.

Comment by Brenda(MomofTravis) on September 22, 2010 at 2:20pm: My sons 21st birthday is the 24th (Friday) I sure hope they are out of river city by then.

Comment by Brenda(MomofTravis) on September 22, 2010 at 12:08pm: My Moto mail from Saturday finally went through lol

Comment by Susinovoa91 on September 21, 2010 at 8:03pm: Is it true that only high ranks can make calls send emails ???

Comment by Brenda(MomofTravis) on September 21, 2010 at 7:56pm: Why are a couple saying they got to talk to their husbands on board Kearsarge last night on the Ombudsmen FB page? I thought they were still in River City.
