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."

Click on OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and the Page will open in a new window. Read the Page and follow the directions at the bottom to make change 3 (see the words in bold) so that this page is no longer visible to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web.

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP code to one that is not easily associated with your recruit.

Join Damage Control Mom's and you may also find others with loved ones with that rating in Engineers, Snipe Moms, and Snipe Moms(enginers). Where is your Sailor stationed (what vessel, if one)? There may be additional groups I can direct you to.

Welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) for information on what to expect and to help you prepare for PIR. Start with OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and Arrival and What Happens at the RTC and read 1 or 2 pages a day and then go back to them as you need the info.

Do you have another one starting this journey? If so, what is your recruit's rating (job/specialty) or field going to be? There are groups for most ratings and/or "A" Schools and knowing that will help you to better plan for PIR weekend.

Take care and blessings to you and yours.

Congrats to your son on DC3 - that was quick!  SAR is certainly going to be exciting.  Best wishes to you all.

NAVY in duct tape! great!  You know there is a site that makes cards, signs and banners and often you just have to pay for the shipping.  Of your way of 'proud' is unique!

Hi Lori, I didnt get to finish what I was saying... but I see you got the idea. My son just went through BC and graduated in February. Now my nephew is in BC and graduating on 5/13.

Anyway, my son told me stories of the RDC's finding info online on M4M's and using it against them. So, as a rule, to be safe, we only refer to them as son, nephew, or recruit. That way we don't take a chance and get them in trouble. You can put his ship and division numbers after your name if you wish. That way other moms in the dame division can find you. It's a great thing to hear from someone else in your division, when your mailbox has been empty for too long. It helps make you feel a little closer to them.

Thats great you live so close. I work in Ontario and often have to go into Mira Loma for work. 

Take care, I'll talk to you soon!
