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 jesspoo05 on March 31, 2012 at 8:17pm: Kathy-sounds like your son replaced my bf in the orthopedics ward. he got deployed in feb. hope he likes it! my bf liked the people he worked with.

Comment by IDCmom#1 on March 29, 2012 at 5:47pm: jacketfan, tell him to run, run, and run some more, especially up hills. Better to get over the shin splints now than during FMTB.

Where do they have him working while he is on hold?

Comment by jacketfan24 (corpsman mom) on March 29, 2012 at 5:18pm: My son is at Camp Pendleton now; FMTB training won't start for another month but he's so glad to be there. There is a large group of guys from his A school going through it at the same time. They all get along well, so that's a good thing.

Comment by jesspoo05 on March 26, 2012 at 9:00pm: so i haven't been on here for ages after i even said that i was going to come on more often. well that was before we found out that he was deploying.... we got 45 days notice of it. so i spent every second i could with him understandably. he is on and IA. he had to go and do training first so i had to say "see you later" to him some weeks back now. I am now only 16 days away from going to see him!!! i am very excited about that. but being that he is on an IA i don't get to see him off or see him home again. and he will have to stay with the unit for like a month longer after returning so i wont get to see him till he is back at his original base. i also have a lot going on the first few months of the delpoyment so that is helping keep me busy. i now again will be trying to come back on here more. i think that a good support group like this will help alot!! i hope all is well with all of you and yours. i look foward to reading and catching back up with you!

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on March 24, 2012 at 1:57am: So proud of my hubby. Spending the rest of the weekend together. Wishing already that I didn't have to leave.

Comment by TxNvyMom2011 on March 21, 2012 at 9:32pm: hoping to get to see my son this evening after they are done cleaning.

Comment by Jasmine<3 on March 20, 2012 at 9:33pm: ok great can't wait till I get to see him.

Comment by IDCmom#1 on March 20, 2012 at 7:03pm: Jasmine, I think they leave the barracks that day. I don't think any stay over. Kind of like boot camp.

Comment by Aaronswife on March 20, 2012 at 7:02pm: I think it all depends on when they have to check into their next command or if they are flying somewhere else.
