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."

Hi Faith
Thanks for that info. I will have to check with the recruiter on the PIR date because I have not received the FORM letter yet. I sent Isaac a phone card and some address labels. I hope I hear soon. We all miss him here at home.

Hi, my son arrived in GL on 2/16 as well. I got the box today, I have never get excited about doing laundry, but today I was so excited to open his box with his clothes. His socks were missing... His pants were rolled up and still wet at the bottom. His duffle bag didn't come home. I had to laugh because I remember teaching him how to fold his clothes and he folded them just like I showed him to. I wass hoping for a little note from him inside the box. The closest to a note was the writing on the outside of the box... my name and address. I hope he like it there and is getting along with everyone there.
