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."

Comment by ellen0502 on March 4, 2021 at 3:25am: KTSNavyMom Kathy, Public attendance of PIR has been postponed because of the pandemic. There are virtual graduations posted for the TG on Friday's. Glad to see you're still hanging around. :)

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on March 4, 2021 at 2:49am: Hi Navyat34 Congrats your daughter is almost done will you get to go to PIR? I hope you get too it is an amazing feeling when you walk into the drill hall and see them March in. My daughter has been in almost 15 years on March 29 it will be 15 for her. She is a IT Chief she has been on two ships and has been over seas on two deployments. What will your daughters job be? It is hard being a female in the Navy there are still some men who think women don’t belong in the military. Deployments can be rough especially when you don’t hear from them that often. Most ships have a Facebook page and you can follow there journey on that page. Feel free to write me and if you have any questions I’d be more than happy to help.
Take care Kathy

Comment by Vickyrun on May 26, 2017 at 1:55pm: Happy 8th Navy Anniversary to my sailor! She reenlisted for six more. She must like it. Thank you to all my Navy Mom friends who comfort me in the hard times and rejoice with me in the good times. I guess you all are stuck with me for a few more years.

Comment by Anna on March 10, 2017 at 5:33pm: Ouch!! Sorry to hear that Kathy. But falling down a ladder and only breaking her finger is pretty good!! Glad it wasn't more serious!! But I hope they are able to help her so her finger heals completely and properly!!!

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on March 10, 2017 at 1:39am: Hi Anna
Thank you she went thru hell during chief season but she made it we are so Proud of her. I hope your son gets it this next time. My daughter is at sea and fell down the ladder well a few weeks ago and broke her finger they may have to do surgery on her because she had a spiral break and it's not healing right so waiting to here if that will happen or not. She's one tough cookie though.

Comment by Anna on March 9, 2017 at 11:48pm: Kathy,

Congratulations to your daughter!!!! My son passed the Chief's test but did not get selected. We'll see how this next board goes!!!

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on March 9, 2017 at 11:07pm: Hi tpadul, welcome to our Navy family!! My daughter is my 1 and only, so I know exactly what you are going through. Hang on because it's like a roller coaster, your emotions will go up and down. I know with my daughter for the first week that she was gone every time someone mentioned her name I cried. Once you get that first letter you will feel better just knowing she's OK. Make sure you save those letters they are the best. I can remember when my daughter would write she would say how she did something and then she'd say I'm so proud of myself!! That made me feel so good. On March 29th my daughter will have been in the navy for 11 years, she just made Chief this past Sept. She is on a ship now and on deployment been gone since Oct. I'm looking forward to Spring when she comes back. Your daughters PIR will be here before you know it. I hope you are going there's nothing like seeing them in that uniform for the very first time!! Hang in there once those letters start coming you will feel better!! They make them write every Sunday. Let me know if I can answer any questions you may have OK
Kathy
