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 Veronica, I just finished your ribbons and they will be mailed first thing tomorrow morning. I ship Priority mail which is 2 to 3 days so you should have them on Friday. Will you be gone this weekend? We you be back to get your mail before going to PIR? Do I need to mail them to a different address? Let me know asap. Feel free to give me a call. My number is on your order invoice. I may try to call you in a few. :-) Thanks again, Lora
Hi Veronica,
Rocco just called, I think they were playing pool and hanging out tonight, I am still smiling from graduation! I am a little dissapointed that he won't be home for Easter, but glad that he will be here the following week, I guess I will be having two Easters! I was thinking about sending him an Easter basket, but I will just wait until he gets home. I didn't know that Rocco had to meet with his recruiter when he gets home, but I guess he knows what he has to do.We had to sit up in the balcony at PIR, This was my husbands fault for not listening to me! But I knew that he was carring the division flag so I was able to spot him- I am so happy that he has a phone now so that he cam call and I can text him when I want to.He told me that your son is going undesignated also, but I think that he is on a different ship, Oh yes I do have FB, Have a nice weekend,Debi
Hi Veronica,
It was really nice to meet you. I hope that you had a great time with your Sailor! Ours just wanted to hang out, go to the mall and rest, he really didn't want to do much. He was just happy to be out of BC. Will yours get to come home for a week before he goes to Virginia?This weekend really went by quick- now to try and finish this laundry! Haha, Talk to you soon, Debi
Hi vk12392,
I wouldn't even have thought about AC , but one of the girls that i work with flys out of there all the time. I am not a $ 9 fare membr , but when I went on the Spirit website and typed in the info, this coupon poped op say save $50 , so I tested it out and I will save $200 total if I book it by tomorrow! so I am thrilled, I am planoning to fly our THurs, and return home on Mon. The only drawback is that the flight home leaves O'Hare @ 6:40 am, this means we will have to wake up @ 3, drive to airport, drp off the car and The biggie is WAKE up @ 3! It ended up being cheeper, and no layover,so hats what I am thinking. So happy that you are from NJ and in our div.This is auwsome!I have beeb on hotwire and today, got an emil from them saying round trip from Phila for $240, not bad , but I don't want to drve to Phila, so I am sway AC, Navy Lodge is $65 per night and only 1 1/2 from the base! so I booked it, so excited! Hopefilly a letter tomorrow!
Hi vk12392. If you check the Ramada in website (or better yet, call them) they will make sure you get the military discount. Did you find the meet and greet group and RSVP?
Have you checked the form letter about those last numbers after the zip code? Mine says 3505.
