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."

November Adoption is a real TREAT ...we have a familiar face !
have a lot of new faces here but for most it's not the first deployment.
This is my second time to Bagram and 3rd deployment to Afghanistan. The
tempo here has slowed down a bit as forces start to draw down towards the
end of the year. Our C-130Js do missions from picking up med evac patients
to prisoner transport. Along with moving cargo and troops in and out of the
AOR. From time to time we will help out other units with maintenance as well
for transient aircraft that break down here. We are a total of 99 members,including 4 females,
and are to do rotate back sometime in late March.
Our full unit title is
455th EAMXS C-130J Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.

We have received a thank you!!!!
Thank you very much for the care packages and letters! I have nearly a hundred personnel working for me here at Bagram AB, Afghanistan and every package and letter we receive brings a little bit of home to a pretty dreary place. Especially with the holiday season approaching, your letters truly mean a lot. I have attached a picture of our unit as a small way of saying thanks! Take care and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Donald XXXXX MSgt, USAF
