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 CO-TwinSalorsMom on April 12, 2013 at 1:12pm: Have you joined his month for going to Boot Camp page. That is always a great place to start. As kids leave each week, moms get "the call" then "the Box" then "the letter" it gets exciting and it is very emotional. Then you get moved to your kids ship and div group. Sp join the Leaving in August group. If you are ever in Ouray I live there.

Comment by kadikaboom626 on April 12, 2013 at 12:52pm: Nice to see a group of Colorado moms. My son leaves in August, so I'm trying to get a head start on information. Still learning and navigating this site. So far so good but if anyone finds a page that is really awesome I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

Comment by 5boys on March 26, 2013 at 3:25pm: They will be fine. :) I love that we will be able to skype with them and go see them any time our mom hearts desire. And maybe get some beach time in at the same time. :)

Comment by sheilada on March 11, 2013 at 7:58pm: TwinSalorsMom- We go camping in Ridgway all the time in the summer, I will have to stop in sometime :) Let me know when you are in GJ and we should meet up! I have nothing but free time right now.

5boys- I am also looking forward to a visit to SC :) I feel okay with him being there because my brother (also Navy) is stationed in Jacksonville, so he is only 4 1/2 hours away :)

Comment by 5boys on March 10, 2013 at 1:24pm: Sheilada, Not gonna lie....I'm looking forward to going to SC to visit. :)

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on March 9, 2013 at 9:44pm: Sheilada - I hope to meet you someday I am in Ouray and have a son going to BC April 23rd so PIR should be end of June. He is a Nuke also so will be in South Carolina. If you come to Ouray let me know. I own the art store there. I may be coming to GJ on a monday soon.

Comment by sheilada on March 9, 2013 at 6:36pm: Hi 5boys! I am in Grand Junction, so not close but my son will also be going into the Nuke program! He is set for a PIR date of 04/12/13! I am so excited to see him and get to hug my Sailor!

Comment by 5boys on March 8, 2013 at 1:30am: Hi all. I'm from the Ft. Collins area. My son is presently at boot camp. He's my first to leave the nest. It has been 1 week, and almost 5 days since he left. We are doing fine, now, as we know he will excel where he is! He will be ging to the Nuclear program.

Would love to hear from someone close. Thanks!

Comment by J-RockyMtn on February 25, 2013 at 1:22am: Yep - thoroughly enjoying the snow in Denver. We need more! My kids are not very happy there is no snow day on Monday (me too - I want a snow day). My sister lives in Burlington and those farmers desperately need snow ... Guess what, NO SNOW in Burlington - can you believe it - how did that happen?

My son is a Snipe on the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego. Just spoke with him and he really likes what he's doing!

Comment by chergui53 on February 24, 2013 at 2:54pm: In Centennial. Snowing like crazy. We have about 4-5 inches so far. Brrrrrr. Our furry son doesn't even want to go out to do his "business". Our son is in Pensacola having much warmer weather . Stay warm, dry, and safe.
