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."

Hello! Sorry about the very late delay.  I did get the cases several weeks and I handed them out that day.  All of they guys loved em and were very thankful.  They were all so glad that people at home were nice enough to consider us and do something nice like that.  Thank you very much! 

Good afternoon, 

I’m Petty Officer First Class Mateo Cxxx (15yrs Active Duty) and I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for all your prayers and gifts received onboard my ship. It’s a blessing to know that so many people are thinking of us while we are deployed away from our families and friends. I would like to thank Lori K whose gifts were really awesome, specially the pillow case. It’s beautiful.  May God bless you and your family. Once again thank you.

LS1 (AW) M, USS LEYTE GULF CG 55

To the Members of Heads at Ease,

Thank you very much for the donation of pillow cases to our unit at Special
Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force Africa. It is very comforting to know
that there are people out there praying for us and who care about us very
much. We appreciate everything you do for the troops.

Respectfully,

Sgt Faith  SPMAGTF AF 14.2
