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."

How do I send a calling card? HELP

Posted on June 12, 2011 at 8:36pm 7 Comments

Does anyone know if I need to write "Do NOT scan" "Electronic card' on the envelope? My boyfriends dad... who is a Cop, said I need to write that but I dont want anyone to steal it because it says that.  Has anyone had trouble sending these? Do they receive it with nothing written and do they work? HELP.  Thanks,

 Mary

My boyfriends first full day was friday and I am really struggling to stay positive! I just cant imagine him not getting any letters from home for at least another week. It makes me so sad. How do I make the time go by faster?! Also, any ideas when I will get his box and form letter? I am so anxious and its making me crazy!
