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 Nancy on May 22, 2011 at 9:17pm: Yes, IB made it home this weekend! I didn't get to spend a ton of time with him, but we did get some prom pictures and we had coffee this morning before we came home.

He has graduated from TCNO and begins A school on Tuesday (I think). His rating has remained the same. New building with new roommates. Says that he thinks the new grad date will be October 7th. That will work out so well for me as it is the beginning of one of my breaks! He looks like life is going well for him and he looks good! So I am happy.
Sounds like everyone has lots of changes going on in their lives. After seeing IB this weekend and now we go to his brother's college graduation this coming Friday.

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on May 22, 2011 at 8:17pm: Hi everyone...feels like so long since I have been on here. Life continues to be crazy for me...I think I mentioned that I am Junior Class Adviser and this is an incredibly busy year for us. This weekend was our Junior class prom...needless to say I have been out of my mind with details...like planning a wedding all over again! Well I was really excited because N came home again...this time to surprise his brother! He was able to be here for his prom!!! :)

He said that he will graduate from Techno (sp?) On Tuesday and will finally start A School the week after. I think he is getting really anxious to join the fleet!

He is really looking forward to "Fleet Weekend" in NYC next weekend. Getting his dress whites all ready! :) I have never seen him in his dress whites!

Well just wanted to say hi. Now I'm going to read some of your post before I fall asleep from exhaustion from this crazy weekend! :)

Comment by phoebe stg2 on May 22, 2011 at 8:50am: WooHoo for Hawaii....

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on May 22, 2011 at 2:55am: H just landed in Hawaii

Comment by ElizabethC on May 21, 2011 at 9:28pm: Hi...special thoughts and HUGS for Lori and Mochi...please keep us updated on how your boy's are doing...I am sure they will do great!!!! And I have to agree with Mochi, Lori the Army/Navy game is going to crazy in your house...you'll have to find an Army jersey and a Navy jersey, cut them in half sew one half of each jersey to the other and support both teams you know us mom's aways the neutral party...to funny.

Nancy - did IB make it home for the weekend? I can hardly believe that the boy's are only now starting A School..did IB's rate stay the same, T said some of the guy's were being re-rated (I think that's what its called) so far T has remained the same rate.

Hope everyone is doing well and all of the Sailor's are adjusting to their new adventures.

Comment by mochi1 on May 21, 2011 at 9:03pm: Thanks Lori and Hugs to you too. I was thinking about what it would be like in your house in the future with Army playing Navy!!!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on May 21, 2011 at 12:57pm: Hugs to you Mochi - my youngest left for Army BCT on the 16th!

Comment by mochi1 on May 20, 2011 at 2:28pm: Hi All, just back from enlisting my second child into the Navy. E left for boot camp on the 17th out of Portland Oregon. He was definitely ready to go. The night before his little brother K called and briefed him on boot camp.lol It's still pretty fresh in his mind. We heard from E about midnight with the usual scripted statement. He will head to Pensacola for A school after boot camp.

Comment by CJ's Mom on May 20, 2011 at 12:05am: Well life is interesting for sure. CJ is calling this week every morning 3:30 am because of his grandmother being in the hospital. It has been nice talking to him but I wish it was later in the day. He is 14 hours a head of us so it is confusing. he is doing well and enjoying Japan. Getting ready to do a 6 month float. Not sure where too. Keep us posted where your boys are going. If they need a card every now and then send me their address.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on May 18, 2011 at 11:50pm: FYI: My S and his friend (last name starts with U) had their credit card numbers stolen. They both were called at the same time by their banks (my S was USBank, (U) was from the Navy bank). Thinking that the restaurant they were at together was the one that had the person who stole the card numbers, thinking it was Oggi's!!!! Lucky that the bank saw/flagged "how could they charge at a restaurant in SD at the same time as a Home Depot in Montana?" So just letting you know that the theft of card numbers is on and to give your sailors a heads up...
