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."

A little about me:

Hey Ann-Marie, I currently live in St. Louis but my sailor is in Groton, his PIR was last

Friday 6/1.  For the first time since he left for boot camp I finally got a call that he was upbeat.  I hope he can make the most of it because he signed for 5 years.  I still have family in Lowell and Andover.  I will be making a trip up there for my parents 60th in Oct. but now that my sailor is in Groton I may have to make a visit sooner than I thought. Tks for the offer to bring something to him and if need be I will take you up on it.  Getting together sounds good too, I will let you know if I make it this summer.  You are very lucky you live so close.  Keep in touch.

Hi Ann Marie,  I am out of town but my husband is at home and checked the mail and Thursday we got 5 letters from Jacob!  He had to read them all to me over the phone.  There were lots of parts where he was chocked up and had a hard time reading them.  He sounded good on some days, stressed, anxious, depressed, homesick on other days.  I hope we all get phone calls tomorrow (Sunday).  Since that is their only down time I am really hoping to hear his voice.  Have you received any more letters?
