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."

I know what you mean I am a basket case.  The recuriter called last night and our son Dakota has to gain some weight before Tuesday.  So I guess he will be drinking lots of protein shakes.  Poor kid is liable to be stopped up for weeks.   So what rate or job is your son going to be doing?   I agree about the friends  I am just not sure how to go about friending people.   The site is so large it is a little overwhelming.

I wil be praying for you    Julie

I am still learning how to do this so I was not ignoring you   I think I commented but who knows.   My son is leaving on July 1 as well.  I was doing ok but now reality has hit me square in the face.  LOL   How are you doing?   What rate will your son be?

Hi, when did or will your future Sailor ship to the RTC? If you know the ship date, go to the discussion, Things to Do in the Last Month before Your Future Sailor Leaves for the RTC. At the bottom are links for each of the months, join the one for the month that your future Sailor ships. I also invite you to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) there. Take care and blessings to you and yours.
