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."

Birdie - I have information posted regarding use of the Sandboxx app - here's the link (click on it):

Sandboxx app

You can use it, but in boot camp ONLY.  

Comment by Birdie’s mom on December 2, 2021 at 6:42pm

Has anyone ever used the Sandboxx app. To send letters to your SR?

Comment by JayDee659 on November 11, 2021 at 2:08pm

Hi Ummi, welcome!  Sorry that I missed your comment yesterday.  BsNukeMom is right on, BC page will have the most up to date info!

Comment by Chipmunk on November 10, 2021 at 11:14pm

Ummi - I see that B'sNukeMom got a chance to reply before I did. I will say that you may send a few extra stamps to your daughter. Otherwise, I echo what B'sNukeMom said. 

Be sure to read this information - Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recru..., which is on BC Mom group page. 

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on November 10, 2021 at 7:00pm

And I left you the link to the boot camp group in the welcome message on your page.  Look for the blue hyper link - click on it and it will take you directly to the group!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on November 10, 2021 at 6:59pm

Hi Ummi - if your daughter is at boot camp then the only thing you can send her is cards and letters.  Anything else they might need they can buy at the NEX.  If you send a card be sure it doesn't have any glitter on it!  That will cause trouble lol.  Be sure to come over to the boot camp group and post there.  There's lots of others going through boot camp at the same time and you'll get a quicker response.  Also, be sure to join your PIR group.  I have the links to the current groups posted over there too.

Comment by Ummi on November 10, 2021 at 6:48pm
Hi Everybody! Can anyone offer some updated (2021) info on what I can send my SR aside from cards and letters?
