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."

Also, I do need to warn you - I saw you posted your daughter's full name on another member's page. We cannot give out last names of our sailors on this website. This site is available to anyone who may want to gather info on our troops and posting names is one of our OPSEC rules. We just want to keep all our sailors safe!! Again, Welcome Aboard!!

I'm so happy to find another girl in my daughters Div. My daughter called me yesterday for references to and she was crying my heart was just hurting for her. She said it's not hard it's just she can't talk to anyone. I got a letter from her right after that and she just said everyone was mean and it SUCKED. I know she hasn't gotten any letters which is tough because I have sent her at least 6. In her letter she said she just wants letters and pictures so now I'm writting her everyday until I know she has got my letters. I will keep in touch let me know how she is and I will let you know about Kayse :)
