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."

An email from our Sailors in Iraq -
Today we received this email communication from them and wanted to share it with you
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Navy Moms,
I wish you all brighten the lives of as many troops as you have ours. Since our arrival here in Iraq, we have struggled so hard with getting the little things that most take for granted. Your hearts shine bright through the letters and treats you have all sent to us here. Today we received your packages and the troops absolutely went crazy. We have gone a bit without soaps and shampoo. When we received mail it was roughly 118 – 120 degrees outside, so I am sure the wipes and soaps will go a long way. One of my troops looked at the drawings that some little one drew and burst into tears because his wife gave birth at the beginning of the deployment and has not been home yet to see them. Our job is hard but as Navy Moms yours are even harder. We know you fight the same fight we do everyday, and I feel it is harder for you not knowing what each day brings for us over here. We stand a post everyday so others can have the freedoms they share. We ask for nothing. I received a letter from a couple a few days ago asking me how we can do what we do for nothing more than words on a sheet of paper. We don’t. We do it for the men and women before us and the ones before them who believed in a small court room hundreds of years ago that we should fear no one, and should govern ourselves. We promise you all nothing will happen to you tonight because we have the watch.
On behalf of the sons, daughters, husbands, wives, dads and moms we would all like to give thanks to you all for your gifts from the heart.

Just signed up. This letter was so wonderful, and we newbies never know where our sailors will be. I'll keep in touch.
