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 Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on May 7, 2010 at 4:21pm: Jacqueline, I haven't figured it out yet. So far, I know my son has passed one, but taken two. The second one was taken this week, but I haven't heard from him since Monday. From what I gather, he must be out in the field.

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on May 7, 2010 at 4:17pm: Laurence responded to a post on facebook and told me that he hasn't called because he knows I go to sleep early, and not to worry, he hasn't been killed yet! lol. I guess that means he has been successful in carrying all the Marines off the battle field.

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on May 6, 2010 at 6:01pm: Thanks, vettespace. This week, I seem to find out more here than from Laurence. I keep trying. The main problem is the time difference.
As for the life fire, I know he will enjoy that!

Comment by vettespace on May 6, 2010 at 5:15pm: Hi Margaret, I think that they're going to be out in the field next week. They'll also be firing live rounds with the M4's so I think that they'll like that as well. Not sure when the Block 3 test is...we'll have to find that out.

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on May 6, 2010 at 5:02pm: vettespace, I have not heard from Laurence in three days! He did call his sister one night. It was late and I had already gone to sleep. He told her how excited he was and how he was enjoying this more than anything else he has been doing since he left last Aug.
Lori, everyone so far is correct. While on hold, he will work part time in the hospital and start to PT Marine style. One while on hold, Laurence had to spend three days out in the wilderness as target practice the the corpsmen in FMTB. He liked it. They slept out under the stars at night and were shot at during the day!

Comment by vettespace on May 5, 2010 at 9:11pm: Cub passed Block 2 test...hope the rest of our cubs passed as well! Cub said he's been shot at and covered in blood, so I think that they're doing okay! :-)

Comment by vettespace on May 5, 2010 at 6:59pm: Hi Lori, the following site will have a lot of info. for you:

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on May 5, 2010 at 4:35pm: I want to say that Laurence said that he is in Platoon II. I need to ask.
Thanks for the address!
I need to train Laurence to text me on days he is up late. There's a two hour time difference here as well. I start to shut down around 9:00pm, which is 7:00 there.
All Laurence talked about in A school was how boring it was. Now he seems excited! I can't wait to talk to him again.Laurence may be tall, but he has such a soft gentle voice. I miss his laugh. Oh, all this mush and only two days of not talking to him! I think I need a life! lol

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on May 5, 2010 at 1:56pm: I have not talked to Laurence in two days! I guess they have long days! I found out this morning he calls his sister. (she's young and stays up later than me) She told me that he is having a blast! They are carrying guys off the field with bombs going off. As long as they are fake, I won't worry. I know this is what he has been waiting for! (not me!!!) I'm hoping to be able to talk to him soon. I don't like not being able to talk!

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on May 1, 2010 at 2:30pm: I wasn't given much details, so I figured Laurence didn't do too well. He was excited about being off for the weekend.
