The Ten OPSEC and COMSEC Points:
Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
Don't discuss future operations or missions!
Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
Don't discuss specific training equipment!
Don't discuss people's names and billets in conjunction with operations!
Don't speculate about future operations!
Don't spread rumors about operations!
Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC and COMSEC when using email or phone!
Rules of thumb for parents and loved ones:
*If your sailor indicates to you they can't tell you something, believe them. Don't try to coax them into telling.
*If it is published by the navy about where a ship or unit has been (not going), that is when it's okay to share.
*If your sailor is in a high security area, say a nuke or EOD, consider using a nick name for them and you, a seperate email without your name on it, and don't even tell where YOU live. Let them tell you what they want you to tell others or if they are worried about info, always let them know you are on here. That's why they are careful on here about only putting first names on your profile page.
*Be aware, the OPSEC 10 points are about what they can't talk about. Think about what YOU might share as a parent or loved one of a military member that could cause trouble. You also have a responsibilty.
*Be respectful and teach other parents if they don't know and say too much, no need to be disrespectful or mean to them about it. Just guide them and let them know they maybe need to rewrite or delete the post. There isn't a member on here that wants to cause trouble or harm. They just aren't thinking or don't know.

I hear you Nucci's Mom. Just when I thought I was doing so well. My son Lucas is with Tresa's son and just last weekend got in trouble for drinking. Now he can't even call. I don't have an address yet but wish I did. I need to put on a happy face for my 7 year old but Thanksgiving will be a tough one for me. Today is Thanksgiving in Japan and I sent him a message on Face book but think he lost use of his laptop. So for now I pray in my heart he has a happy holiday and knows how much I love and miss him.
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Holiday, Carol in Ct

Comment by SeaBee Nucci's Mom on November 25, 2009 at 9:19am - Hello everyone. I have to admit that I am starting to have a hard time with the holiday's. Thanksgiving is going okay since I haven't had my seabee with me for the last 2, however, as Thanksgiving goes by it starts setting in that I won't have him home for Christmas or New Years which will be the first for me and it continues to get harder to hold it together. To top it off, he just moved to a new camp in Iraq and I don't have an address yet to send his Christmas. I sent his Thanksgiving and it is in limbo somewhere. *sigh* Well, I wish each and everyone a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving and God bless all of you...

Yes SeaBeeMom Wanda, it is hard. I am feeling it, and I have broke down and cried everyday now so far. I cant and dont want to cry in front of my son, cuz I dont want him to be worryiong about me when he will have to have his mind on his job and his undivided attention in AFG.
I got my box out today for servicepeople for christmas, with cards, goodies, flavored coffee creamers, teas in c/o the Red Cross.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. God bless you and your families.
