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 Navy Mom (J) on August 2, 2012 at 12:38am: Hope to be at the coffee on the 3rd Thursday this month! Tell the ladies hi from me!

Comment by NancyS on August 1, 2012 at 11:59pm: Wish I could be there-- I have a class tomorrow night.

Comment by NancyS on August 1, 2012 at 11:31pm: Jane MM Mom-- isn't the coffee at AJ's the 1st and 3rd Thursday? I'm totally off. I sure would like to come.

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on August 1, 2012 at 8:57pm: Yes, the Bible I sent was a small new Test. And Psalms. I also had everyone that came to my daughter's going away party write letters and leave them. I have 60 to send to her in addition to our letters. Good idea about copying and pasting from facebook!

Comment by MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola on August 1, 2012 at 7:23pm: I glued pictures on the blank pages of my daughter's Bible, wrote addresses in the front and wrote personal messages in the margins near favorite passages. She was able to keep it. Or at least it didn't come home in the box!

Comment by amandamomof4 on August 1, 2012 at 6:38pm: I asked this on another group too (about the bible) and they said he could take one. I think his is probably bigger than what might be allowed but I have a smaller one I was thinking I might send with him. It is about the size of two iphones side by side, do you think that would be small enough? Also there are several blank pages in it I was thinking about using those to write messages on from each of us. If we do do you think they would make him send it home?

Comment by amandamomof4 on August 1, 2012 at 12:14pm: do the kids get to keep a bible with them at bootcamp? if so what size? I was thinking of highlighting some verses that would be comforting or uplifting in my sons bible for him to take with him. He has not gone to church with us in over a year but I thought if he had his bible with him he might be able to draw comfort from it at boot camp.

Also I was wondering about bedding, I assume that they take care of sheets blankets and pillows in bootcamp but what about when he goes to subschool/A school. My son in law is in the army and I think he had to buy his own at A school

Comment by Navy Mom (J) on August 1, 2012 at 12:34am: Jane, MM Mom, Sorry I missed the mtg last week. Just moved my mother into assisted living. Getting her settled and preparing home to sell is a fulltime job! See you when things settle down.
