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 jenismer on April 1, 2013 at 9:22pm: Welcome!!!!!!

Comment by Stephanie (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on April 1, 2013 at 7:30pm: Welcome, Navymomx2!!

Comment by Elane on April 1, 2013 at 6:34pm: Navymomx2 ...welcome, try searching again for the ship under it's "hull number", maybe that's how it's listed.

Comment by jam's mom (Patty) on April 1, 2013 at 2:13pm: Welcome Navymomx2. I also have two boys in the Navy.

Comment by Navymomx2 on April 1, 2013 at 8:41am: Hi, I am new to this group. I have 2 sons in the Navy and my youngest will be moving from Sasebo to Yokosuka sometime after July. I started out looking for a group for USS Shiloh since that will be the ship he will be on but found that there is not a group for them.

Comment by SailorB-Man,Ship3,Div330 on March 22, 2013 at 7:54am: I have sent two boxes to the base. One was a good size box and it cost me $85.00 but it was full of towels, clothes etc and was pretty heavy and the next was smaller with less things and it was only 25.00.

Comment by jenismer on March 21, 2013 at 8:31pm: that's the only way I know of to send things to $30 isn't too bad. Just make sure you pack it securely and it should be fine. Remember insurance.......

Comment by purplegiraffe69 on March 21, 2013 at 9:37am: My son wants his guitar sent to Yokosuka. I called UPS and they can't do it, so it has to go USPS. I guestimated the size and weight and it looks like it will be about $30? His birthday is next month, so I told him I will send it for his birthday! Just making sure I am not missing an easier way to mail things to Japan/military FPO address?

Thanks!

Carrie
