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."

Hello all! My son will PIR 4/27 and then he's off to Groton for training as a sub MM. He believes that he will need his car/truck to get to his trainings and that the Navy will ship it to him. Is this true? My concern is about his license and insurance . . . does he keep our home address on his license and does he carry insurance from here (Texas)?

not positive - but I'm pretty sure they won't ship it to him while he is in A or C school.  My son rode a van to and from trainings - but not in Groton.  Have you checked with the Groton/sub group?  They would have the best answers for that school.

We kept home address and insurance (until he switched to the cheaper USAA while deployed).  I got the bill when he ran the red-light under the camera!  No doubting it was him - big truck (Texas also) with a bright yellow kayak on top! 

Have you joined Texas' Moms group?  See you there!

Thank you for your reply, I will post on the Groton/Sub Group. I have joined the Texas' Moms Group. I would prefer that he not have vehicle right away so there's one less thing for me to worry about. But on the the other hand, I would hate for him to have liberty and have to depend on someone else . . .
