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."

from our POC on the Kearsarge:
Greetings Mrs. Lamberson,
Thank you so much for the comfy pillow cases and more importantly your
thinking of us. I speak on behalf of the Sailors and Marines when I say
they are truly appreciated as I am certain you must be aware of the
standard issue uncomfortable pillow cases we typically utilize onboard
Ships. We have received all 1,639 and I thank you again for your
thoughts and efforts in making out quality of life a little better. I
will let you know when the final shipments arrive and take care my
friend!
Sincerely, Jerry -
