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."

Hi , thank you so much for letting me know I'm not alone. My son left on nov. 24 for boot camp and I'm devastated without him. He's my only one. I got "The box" and cried for hours. I have so many emotions about this. I'm so proud of him and his love for his country. I'm also scared to death. Does anyone know when the form letter will arrive?

I am so glad that this page was created. My  youngest Noel, left for bootcamp on Nov. 24th. I had a huge Bon Vogae party for her and because she was leaving before Thanksgiving, I had a huge Pre-Thanksgiving spread. I received her box on Tuesday and I am hoping for her form letter real soon  I miss her to pieces.

Hi Erin!  I am excited to be part of this group!  I am taking Carl today and he leaves tomorrow.  I have such a mix of emotions.  Mostly, I am extremely proud!  I am crying and do not want to cry!

Thank you for the welcome. Please be aware of hacker/scam (tho I think you already are) from a Mr Abraham Akim.  I am new to this site but asked about it in chat today as I thought it seemed odd. I received e-mail from him from an outlook.com site. Thank you .
