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 February 22, 2013 at 3:36pm: I can go to GJ on Sundays as that is my only day off.

Comment by BridgetteH on February 22, 2013 at 1:45pm: My daughter goes to college in Grand Junction. I am there on the occasional Friday and Sunday playing chauffeur.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on February 21, 2013 at 2:02pm: Keep my first sailor in your prayers he txt'd that he has some difficult certs to pass this week and next. In addition to having to study hard he is tutoring several other sailors who are struggling. So hard double duty for him.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on February 21, 2013 at 1:59pm: Lets try to set a date and place for westerns slope mom's. I can not go near April 23rd as that is the date my second son goes. To Great Lakes.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on February 13, 2013 at 2:21pm: I occasionally go to GJ if Western slope ladies want to meet there. I know there is someone in this group from Gunnison and one from Durango. My son said that there is a DEP guy who is going to be a nuke from Telluride also. I would be happy to go to GJ or meet in Ouray and we could go to dinner and the pool.

Comment by Mommahead on February 13, 2013 at 12:03am: my daughter graduated 1-25. She is now in Monterey. We live in Junction. I am a teacher and am actually looking for sailor recruits that I can send packets of notes and letters in care of for their whole division. Let me know if you are interested. My daughter's division loved them!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on February 12, 2013 at 7:02pm: Hi, Sheillada I live in Ouray and my son is going in BC in April. He is also in the nuke program. His twin went to BC Nov 4th and is now in Pensacola in A school for IT. It would be great for us SW Colorado moms to meet sometime. send me a private message to get my email.

Comment by ColoradoMom Nuke ET on February 12, 2013 at 6:26pm: Hi Sheilada - I'm in southwest CO. My son is almost ready to graduate Nuclear Power School. There are a few of us not in the Denver/Springs area. If you haven't, definitely join BootCamp Moms and join your PIR (graduation) group when you know the date. There's lots of great support there as your SR goes through bootcamp. After he PIR's, you can join the Nuke Mom's group where you'll find lots of great info as he works through the Nuke program. My son signed in August, 2011 and headed to Bootcamp in January 2012. Hang on, it's a bumpy but exciting ride!
