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 see you have joined MN Moms. Did your Sailor change ratings from DC to MN or do you have a second one in the Navy?

At 6:24pm on August 17, 2018, lemonelephant said…

Since your future Sailor has a contract for Damage Controlman (DC), join Damage Control Mom's. You may find others with loved ones with that rating in EngineersYou will also want to join Great Lakes A School Q&A and GL A-school moms. Check out the Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes Facebook Page.

The Rating Information Card for DC can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/dc.pdf. (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.) https://www.thebalancecareers.com/what-does-a-navy-damage-controlman-dc-actually-do-3345799 has info for you.

You will have extra time with your Sailor. Plan to leave late Sunday or on Monday if you are able to do that. See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend.

Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com!   

Head to “Settings” on the main page right away to add a profile image (no last names visible, please) and complete your Profile. Then - and this is important! - read these Community Guidelines and this Operations Security (OPSEC) Checklist, for the safety and privacy of all our Sailors.

Then jump right in!  Browse around the site and check out the groups and the information in their Discussion Forums.

Join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date; and this one for PIR Reference Information.  

Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas!

Please say Hi when you join a group, and feel free to ask any and all questions - everyone was new once, and there is no "dumb" question. 

This site was created by the U.S. Navy just for you, and we look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.  

Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!
