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 Lorilei,

 

Glad Ryan & your son are friends.  Just got home today from a cruise that was booked long before Ryan enlisted and was sad that I missed his call as no cell phone reception in the ocean but he left me a message to say he is a sailor, yippee!!!  I was really relieved that PIR is the 23rd though as I would have hated to have missed that.  Will arrive after meet & greet but hope to meet you at PIR

Hi my sons name is Hayward. Thanks so much. Congratulations on your new Sailor! This is awesome.

Salpetty, I just read your comment. That'll be useful to know. Should our SR be mentioned by name in the letters? Or would it be better to keep it general? Any suggestions are much appreciated. --mpc
At 6:31pm on September 7, 2011, cantom said…
Thanks, Lorilei. Letters will be mailed tomorrow, together with the one(s) for my SR. Please thank you son for sharing this situation with us... and you for letting us know. Regards. --mpc

One more question...When you write to them, do you give them your name?  Just wondering about how to approach it.
At 1:10pm on September 7, 2011, salpetty said…

Thanks.  I assume these are all male?  It just kills me that they have no mail..but one thing we need to remember is that many people join the military to get away from bad family situations, make a fresh start, etc.

 

I'll get some letters out ASAP...hope it brightens thier days :)
