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 SYNTIA (Ship 02 DIV 920) on April 14, 2013 at 6:42am: Hello Jane, it is great that we can meet on a Monday.

I am planning on being at AJ in Gilbert on Monday, May 6, 2013 :)

Our sailor is great CT for A school.

How is your Sailor?

Comment by SYNTIA (Ship 02 DIV 920) on April 13, 2013 at 6:36am: Hi Jane,
The AJ's in Gilbert is pretty close to us.
Which days are you thinking on meeting?

Comment by SYNTIA (Ship 02 DIV 920) on April 10, 2013 at 12:39pm: Hello Micka,

Thank you so much for the information.

It is so unfortunate that I will not be able to attend any of BSM meetings, I work Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays. Maybe in the future.

I really appreciate your help.

Comment by evetnaz_CV Mom on April 9, 2013 at 2:00pm: Thanks Denise .. you are right .. at least I have a date. We were worried about that happening to us after Graduation in May. She would of been on call basically. I was a mess as soon as she called, good thing I was at home. I called my husband crying (He thought our dog died .. lol).

Comment by evetnaz_CV Mom on April 8, 2013 at 11:28pm: Well just got THE call ... My daughter leaves in June NOT Sept!! AAUUGHHH!! Her job became available but she has to leave earlier then expected. I'm not ready yet!!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on April 8, 2013 at 4:15pm: Hey all! We have a young sailor shipping out soon, and he needs to find a loving home for his cat of 12 years, "Baby." I'm told she's a sweet and loving girl and would love to be someone's cuddly companion :)

Comment by spyder013 on April 1, 2013 at 1:45pm: Welcome! Hang in there and enjoy your time with her. Make lots of new memories and cherish the others. It has been 3 1/2 years since my daughter went in. She is on 1st deployment. ...hard to have her across the world but she is loving most of it so I am really proud of her.

Comment by evetnaz_CV Mom on April 1, 2013 at 1:38pm: Hi Everyone,

I'm a new Navy mom from Tucson. My daughter is leaving for BC in Sept. I'm at a lose of words. So So Proud of her, trying to keep strong in front of her.

Comment by Zman'smom on March 24, 2013 at 3:34am: Marcy - Sorry, I'm just now getting on here to tell you THANK YOU for setting up the meeting with Admiral Sanders!! My daughter & I had a great time and were so glad we attended the event. We enjoyed both the tour and listening to the Admiral.

I also wanted to touch base with you in regards to both of our sons being stationed in Naples, Italy. Zach has been there since the beginning of Feb. He is at Capodichino, which is the administrative base or main base. I know the hospital is at Aversa, which is a support site and bigger base.

It would be really neat if our sons could meet!

Comment by Micka on March 18, 2013 at 9:27am: Marcy, Thank you for setting up the tour with Admiral Sanders yesterday. My family and I are very happy we were able to attend and meet with other naval families.
