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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 16, 2012 at 11:52pm: maggie, that's great! Enjoy your time with your sailor.

My sailor is stationed in Bremerton, WA on the USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier. He is currently on an 8 month deployment in the middle east.

Comment by maggie (ship03 Div.027) on November 12, 2012 at 6:27pm: Hello, My son graduated 12/22/10 bootcamp. Went to Pensacola. Then San Diego on an 8 mo. deployment on Makin Island. Came back in June. Still in San Diego. He will be coming home to Florida Wednesday on a leave. YEA!!!!

Comment by phoebe stg2 on November 11, 2012 at 6:38pm: Betsy, thanks for checking in. Same to your sailor...

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 11, 2012 at 6:27pm: Just popping in to see if anyone comes here anymore. I guess not. :( I hope all of our sailors are doing well and Happy Veteran's Day to them all.

Comment by mochi1 on February 19, 2012 at 8:45pm: t looks like it's been awhile since anyone has posted. Just thought I would post an update on my two navy boys. K who graduated bootcamp with this group, successfully completed Nuke A school and Nuke Power school. We were able to go to the power school graduation which was great since he didn't come home at Christmas. We spent a couple weeks with him and did some sight seeing while we were down south. He is now on grad hold going to navy College. It's a nice break from the challenges of Nuke school. E graduated Navy boot camp in July. He went to Pensacola for AT school and graduated the end of January. He got orders to San Diego which is home! He will be on a ship here. Looking forward to having our grandson and daughter in law in town.

Comment by Sharon on December 13, 2011 at 10:17am: howdy y'all. Just a quick update - my sailor has been in San Diego since the summer but just got assigned to the Lincoln. He is going to the middle east. So of course, I'm freaking out. But, I'll live. He's excited, especially since after they're done there he gets to see the rest of the world before docking in Norfolk. And then maybe I'll get to see him, and we'll celebrate xmas then. Hope y'all are well.

Comment by MarylandMom on December 3, 2011 at 12:18pm: Good morning to all. Can you believe it has been a year since we all were making our plans to meet & greet in Great Lakes !! So much has happened in our lives since that time. So glad that we still have a place to come back to and update each other on our Sailors journeys !! My S is in Norfolk, Va. As of Tues, he said he was upgrading his clearance, and going to OPS. What that means, I have no clue !! These letters drive me nuts !! He is on the USS WASP. It stays in port most of the time, except for some training and manuvers. He wont deploy for 2yrs, unless something critical happens. I'm thrilled, he's not. He wants to get out to sea and do all the stuff he has trained for. Of course, this was before he was changing his status !! hmm. . . maybe this is something he has yet to tell me !! Will keep you posted !! Have a wonderful Christmas Season, I hope as many of our Sailors as possible make it home for our holidays ! Much love, ~Donna~

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 23, 2011 at 6:39pm: to my beautiful friends. I will catch up with our page after the holiday. I hope all that have their sailors home enjoy every minute of your time with them. Please give them many from me. Talk to you all soon.

Comment by pmgcakes on November 20, 2011 at 11:11am: Hi All, our update; S graduated from power school in October, he has been on grad hold since, just got word 2 weeks ago that he will be transferred to upstate NY for the 3rd and final phase of the Nuke pipeline, we are so excited to have him back in our home state, still 4 hours away from Long Island, but so much better than 15 hrs to S. Carolina. he has to report 12/16, seems like his holiday leave approval from one base to the other doesnt transfer, so we will have to see, but he seems confident that it will be OK.. fingers crossed :) wedding bells are suppose to be ringing in december, luckly the marraige license would be valid any where in NY, so again this navy mom has to hurry up an wait! they are still getting married we just dont know where or when.

Comment by Kim of Virginia on November 19, 2011 at 8:41pm: Hello everyone, I changed my name, but I'm still the same mom of ship 25 Dec. 22, 2010. Wow! I can't believe that it is almost been a year since my our sons and daughters graduated boot camp. My son is stationed in Tampa and he loves it. I have a daughter leaving for the Air Force in Aug. 2012 and although I am very proud of both of them, I know I will miss them both, already feeling the holiday blues with my son not being able to come home for the holidays. Glad to see that everyone is well and that our children are making a difference in the world. I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and your child is stationed in VA and needs a home cooked meal and family for the holidays, please send me a private message for address details or send me a private message on facebook.
