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 BADma on November 17, 2013 at 12:27pm: Vanya ... my son is there too, on the GW.It sounds like you've said the right things. They are ALL an important part of the effort! Remind him that he is part of a team and they depend on each other for positive outcomes...just like Battle Stations in Boot Camp. ALL sailors have an important role.

Comment by Vanya on November 15, 2013 at 5:45pm: My son's ship is part of the 7th fleet that has arrived in the Philippians to provide humanitarian aid. I am so proud of him. He won't be going boots on the ground as he is what they call a "Deck Ape". He so wishes he could help the people on the ground and feels he could do so much more. I have tried to let him know that every job is important, but he still wants to do more. Has anyone's child felt like this? Any suggestions as to what I can tell him to make him realize that he is still helping and that he is still a hero?

Comment by Lovefuzzfaces on November 15, 2013 at 5:37pm: I joined. Believe it or not I just found out my next store neighbor s son is also in the Navy. I really have lost touch with my neighborhood. Too much working.

Comment by boocoo on November 15, 2013 at 12:51am: Lovefuzzfaces, there is a Tucson Mom's group right here on this site.

Comment by BADma on November 14, 2013 at 1:07pm: Lovefuzzfaces... Welcome! That is so great that your son will be home or Thanksgiving. My son was home for Easter AND Mothers' Day in 2011 between A School and leaving for Japan.

I hope you Tucson mom's can have a get together. There are a few Tucson mom's on the Japan Mom's page....maybe we can get you all connected?

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on November 13, 2013 at 12:30am: Lovefuzzfaces, great news about your T'giving visit! Be sure to join this group - http://navyformoms.com/group/tucsonmoms. Maybe you and rystarr can plan the next meet-up! :)

Comment by Lovefuzzfaces on November 12, 2013 at 10:05pm: My son comes home for his first leave after completing A school this weekend so he will be here for Thanksgiving. He has done very well but is looking forward to sleeping in his own bed.

Comment by Lovefuzzfaces on November 12, 2013 at 10:02pm: Welcome rystarr. I also live in Tucson.it would be nice to get enough interest to have a subgroup in Southern AZ to meet for lunch on occasion..
