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."

Ladies I'd like to share with you an email I received today from my point of contact on the USS Dewey.
Mrs. Breunig,
First off I am sorry for not getting back to you sooner, for we had no
outside communications for the past three weeks. That being said we had
mail call today and all I can say is WOW! The amount of gratitude myself
as well as the rest of my shipmate cannot be conveyed in this email, but
I will still try my best. Our moral was admittedly a little low after
being away from our loved ones this long with still four months to go,
but after today everyone started calling me the moral booster. Thanks is
simply not enough, it was overwhelming to receive so may care packages,
each one unique and special. The amount of cards and drawings were
heartwarming and well thought out. The 3 posters you guys made are
hanging in our shop and on the mess decks, which we also took pictures
in front of. I will send out as many pictures as possible with
everyone's smiling faces. You truly brightened the crew of the Dewey's
spirits with this endeavor you all have undertaken, and for that you
have our thanks. Hopefully you can forward this email and all subsequent
emails with our well wishes out to all the families. We wish you all the
best.Crew of USS DEWEY (DDG 105)
