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."

Sherri:  It was nice to meet you last night.  I know your daughter will enjoy the Nimitz - even more so once they get out of dry dock & can go out to sea.  Our son enjoyed his 5 years on the ship.  What does your daughter do?

Hi Sherri,

I thought we would receive  a "confirmation packet", but I guess  we will go ahead and make travel arrangements .  I already took care of the hotel reservation and we are also staying at the Residence Inn. It seems to be a good deal. I will be traveling along with my husband and my 20 year old son.

My daughter Jordan is on Ship 2 Div 919.  She was in the marching band but they never asked her about it.  Just asked if she was a good runner and swimmer, which she is and she was placed in that division.  We got the form letter stating her graduation is March 25th.  Susan

Sherri,
The nice thing about this website is all the various groups you can belong to. If you know when she is supposed to leave for bc you can look for a group of other members who have a sailor leaving on that same date. Search for deppers leaving ______. Then when she gets to bc and you know her ship/div and PIR date you can search for groups who have the same PIR date or ship/div. Unfortunately I didn't know about this site when my daughter went to bc back in July of 08. A couple of the groups I belong to are because of where my daughter is stationed now. It's so nice to talk to people who are right there by her. Several moms got together once and took my daughter and several other sailors out to dinner. I got to see the pics on the website and it was so nice to see her happy and having fun!!!

I've been on this site since Nov of 08. It has been very helpful for me because I've moved twice since then and haven't made many friends to hang out with. Plus I'm not working now and with an empty nest it is hard to meet people. So not only do I find many really neat people to talk to through this site, I've been able to meet some of those friends both in OH and NC and we have so much in common it doesn't matter that we've only met in person once or twice!!!! I so enjoy talking to the moms on the Daughters 2 group. We really help each other out. I have more of a hard time with my daughter being gone that I did when my son enlisted. I'm just so close to my twin daughters.
