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."

RMKS/1. LAST NIGHT, BECAUSE NO BUDGET DEAL HAD BEEN REACHED, THE BUDGET CONTROL ACT REQUIRED SETTING IN MOTION THE AUTOMATIC, GOVERNMENT-WIDE CUTS KNOWN AS SEQUESTRATION.

THREE ADDITIONAL AIR WINGS WITH TWO MORE AIR WINGS BEING REDUCED TO MINIMUM SAFE FLYING LEVELS BY THE END OF THE YEAR;
B. DEFER USNS COMFORT HUMANITARIAN DEPLOYMENT TO CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA, “CONTINUING PROMISE 2013″, INCLUDING SUPPORTING SHIPS,
SEABEES, AND MEDICAL UNITS;
C. CANCEL OR DEFER THE DEPLOYMENTS OF UP TO SIX SHIPS TO VARIOUS AORS THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF APRIL;

Comment by Chels's mom on March 1, 2013 at 6:32pm: Hi All,

Anyone that sends care packages to your sailors, got some info. from the ombudsman this morning about "zip codes"

TEAM SHOUP,

USPS is now restructuring their operations to better serve its
customers while eliminating ever growing revenue decline. One of these
measures include not accepting any FPO mailings that does NOT have the +
four on the zip-code. The postal service spend costly work hours to look
up zip+4 units that are missing the +4. Please make sure to advise our
families and friends of this change.

SHOUPs complete 9 digit ZIP: 96678-1300

Have a great weekend!!

Comment by spyder013 on February 28, 2013 at 8:30am: Tmon - how true it is! I cannot imagine not having this site - howscary if we were alone with thoughts and fears!
Sarah's mom - glad u heard from Sarah and she updated u on her life... Lol! I'm sure bases have phones just like they have wi-go, but maybe access is limited.
Have a great day everyone:)

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on February 28, 2013 at 7:11am: Now I know why I have not heard too much from Sarah. She has a boyfriend! She met another Navy fellow, but on a different ship. Oh my, this will be interesting. Isnt there somewhere on base that they can use a telephone to call, even though the ship's phone is down?
