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."

Comment by NAVY-em's_Mom on March 8, 2013 at 8:37pm: I got some good news today too. My son is just starting school (EM). He just completed week 2, and said that he has a 3.45gpa, and that he is now on 2 & 10 for studying. He said that only 5 out of his class scored higher then him. He sounded very upbeat, and said that the instructors are really good there.

Comment by NCNarrator on March 8, 2013 at 6:59pm: I got some good news today! Aaron not only passed the PT test to phase up, he just called to let us know he was going from Phase I directly to Phase III! We're taking him his car tonight...along with his trumpets. He's so excited!

Comment by susank on March 8, 2013 at 11:32am: So sorry Emily! I think it must be effecting my sailor because his hours just keep getting worse and now his stand down is looking grim. I swear one sailor works the job for at least two or three now!

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on March 8, 2013 at 1:15am: Well, Mark. Even if Sequestration won't hit my husband, it has officially hit me. The facility I work at has to cut their hours, so I'm going from working 20-30 hours a week to 5-8. I'll be alright since what I make is just extra spending money, but it will make things tighter. Some of my coworkers are a lot worse off though. Like the single mom who is now supposed to somehow support her child on 6 hours of work a week.
Thank you, congress and Obama.

Comment by mynavygirl2 on March 6, 2013 at 6:34pm: my daughter's PIR is 04/19-- she is in div 151... is there anyone in this group that is also div 151???

Comment by 5boys on March 6, 2013 at 1:13pm: God's love never changes. Never. No matter what.

Dave Ramsey's materials are amazing!!!! It really is common sense stuff.

Comment by tina41 on March 6, 2013 at 12:22pm: hello all!!

navymom---sorry to hear about your son! God is with you and your son!! I will pray for both of you!!

congrat to all who are graduating this friday!!! and to all who are going to graduation!! it is a nice ceremony. you will be able to take alot of pictures before and during the ceremony. they let you go up to the stage to take them getting their certificates!! ENJOY!!!! I did!!!

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on March 6, 2013 at 10:17am: Not Da Mama, I guess I didn't put 2 and 2 together and looked at your picture. Thank you for your service during Viet Nam. You must be a great inspiration to your son since he is following in your footsteps. My brother is a Navy Viet Nam vet as well, and my BIL was Army VietNam. You are truly appreciated.

Congrats to all who are graduating Friday! Have a great time in Charleston.

Comment by GodBlessAmerica on March 6, 2013 at 1:21am: Navymombrokenandsad, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your son. What a difficult time for both of you. The words Navy Mom hug doesn't even begin to express my empathy for the situation. As a parent, when our children are hurting, we want to make things better. However, some life situations rend us helpless, except for prayer. I have had some discussions with my sailor about some alcohol situations. It is my understanding that the Navy is very strict on underage drinking. For a "legal" adult and an otherwise hard working, competent sailor, I think that there would be other consequences than being separated.

Please don't be too hard on you or your son. You are obvious a loving caring mother, otherwise you wouldn't have come to this group so openly. Your son is a sailor. In my opinion, that makes him a great guy. He has already sacrificed so much to make the world a better place.

Comment by lenoranh on March 5, 2013 at 11:48pm: Just got a quick message from my MM. Passed comps! Now I'm just looking at the forecast hoping that our flight will not be cancelled for Thursday. I hate winter!,,
