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 Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on December 20, 2010 at 9:04am: Submarine Moms - I just posted information on BESS that you might enjoy reading in the Groton, CT Submarine School Dicussion forum above.

Comment by pmgcakes on December 20, 2010 at 8:54am: We spoke about the Doctors this weekend too, I think S should go, hes been coughing, S said that he needs to go to a Military Doctor or to a VA Hospital. maybe if you call your local VA office they may be able to answer your questions.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on December 20, 2010 at 8:47am: Susan - we are not sure if he just has to show his military ID or what; he doesn't have an "insurance card." I haven't removed him from my insurance yet so we have that in our hip pocket if need be.

I remember Anti M counseling us on our Sailor's disposition possiblities following BC especially since they typically do not have a 10-day leave, only a few days of liberty following the structured life in RTC. A said casual talking is a bit challenging after so many weeks of "not talking." Love them, hug them!!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 20, 2010 at 2:30am: Nancy, I knew you could work your magic. Thanks so much for the chat box. We are all on one group now. Woohoo!

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 20, 2010 at 12:12am: I figure no one will monitor this but I am so use to calling him CJ I almost called him that in person.

Comment by NC_Susan on December 20, 2010 at 12:09am: LOL Maryland Mom. I think the initials are good to keep using. Some of our kids will have security clearances so it's probably just as well. I loved meeting you :)

Comment by MarylandMom on December 19, 2010 at 10:53pm: So are we now allowed to call our kids by their names or should we still just use initals ? I have called him S for so long, that is how I addressed him earlier today !! What a look that brought out !!

Comment by NC_Susan on December 19, 2010 at 10:20pm: Lori - If they go to the Dr do they just pay for it themselves? How does this work? Susan

Comment by angieb on December 19, 2010 at 10:14pm: Just got in today from IL with my daughter. She too is missing the people and structure of boot camp and is feeling a bit out of place around us civi's lol. I'm so thankful to have her home for Christmas. It will be very hard to take her to the airport on the 27th!!!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on December 19, 2010 at 9:58pm: Hey Susan - hope D's cold is improving. A and Ash just went to the store to get some Vics Vapo and something else. I think he is going to Urgent Care tomorrow a.m. He was hoping to wait until he arrived in Groton to go to medical on base but his cough is really nasty!
