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 Cindymommababy on April 1, 2011 at 7:24pm: Carol, i think Jeff, my SIL, went there and then back to Okinawa. All will be well, you must believe it.

Comment by Cindymommababy on April 1, 2011 at 6:27pm: Where is your son going?

Comment by Cindymommababy on April 1, 2011 at 5:53pm: HI Carol. My SIL is the corpsman. My daughter hopes to teach elementary school in Oceanside. She graduated college and followed her hubby to the rock (as she called it.) He will be working in the dental clinic I think. I may be wrong. The orders have changed so many times.

Comment by Cindymommababy on April 1, 2011 at 5:42pm: My daughter and son in law are leaving Okinawa and coming to Pendleton tomorrow, I will be so happy to have them out of Japan. They start the flying in a few hours.

Comment by GEZ on April 1, 2011 at 1:08pm: JLC - I hope my cub makes it home before he deploys, but he didn't have those details when I spoke to him. I'm praying a lot, right now.

Ruth - "Voluntold" is the exact word that my cub used when he called with the news.

Carol - I don't think that 2/7 and 7th ESB are related, but then I don't know how the green-side is organized either.

Thank you all for the support. This group is the greatest.

Comment by Joan F on April 1, 2011 at 12:36am: Ruth how true you are about the train. I agree with you JLC that it is always in the back of our mind. My son just drove to his first duty station and posted that night about being tired and homesick already, but talked with him today and his spirits are much better. I think 2 hours sleep before a 5 hour car ride not a smart idea. He says he has met a of people and has so much more storage room than A school or FMTB. He will be working in a clinic Monday-Friday and one of the Master Chiefs says he drives home every weekend and doesn't live that far from us so may be able to see him alot more wihich would be great.

Hope all that are on hold get new orders soon, know it is not fun to stay on a training base.

Comment by GEZ on March 31, 2011 at 9:41pm: Carol, mine will deploy about the same time as your cub, as a matter of fact.

Comment by GEZ on March 31, 2011 at 8:50pm: My cub went with 20 other FMTB grads to the 3/7 at 29 Palms. Unfortunately, he and one other got rerouted to the 2/7 instead. He will be deploying much earlier than I'm ready for. And, he would have preferred to deploy with the 3/7. Oh well, that's why they call them 'orders'.

Comment by MrsS on March 31, 2011 at 6:06pm: I wish for fun! 6 months with the Marine Unit he's attached to, nobody shooting at him.

His best friend was sent to the Medical Center in Japan about a month ago. Only 2 guys from FMTB went to that clinic. I think he's lucky. He just wants to PT all day

Comment by MrsS on March 31, 2011 at 2:23pm: He's pouting right now. He does get to go to Japan in October, his best friend is already there. He better not complain!
