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 KathyMmom on October 11, 2011 at 10:49pm: Briansmom - just got back! It was WONDERFUL!

Comment by Briansmom on October 11, 2011 at 10:39pm: Are there any other Colorado moms going to PIR this weekend?

Comment by KathyMmom on October 10, 2011 at 3:28pm: Craig - maybe you will see this question and possibly give me some advice. My so. Just finished boot camp (PIR was fab!) And is a bit disapointed in the fact that he is still an E1. He had a recruit that is going in as Nuke that my son referred to the DEP program. His recruiter had him down for the referral and everything. However, apparently the new recruit pit down my sons name and navy.com as who referred him. The Navy some how declared this as a conflint and denied my son the referral. Is there anything we can do at this point?

Comment by Miss Suzanne on October 8, 2011 at 7:43pm: Well, my son just did his big test & the OC course. He got a 97.8% on the test, & finished the course in 2 minutes! He's in the top 10% of his class!! I am SO proud of him! His buddy was taking pics during the entire course, and Michael put them up on FaceBook.... Absolutely hilarious looking! Don't get me wrong, when I saw the first pic of his poor face, my heart just cringed... But then after that, the silly boy was *laughing* (& crying)
But I can say that we're both glad it's done & over....!! 

Comment by CUPCAKE on October 7, 2011 at 1:03pm: Craig- i just got on to this website. i didnt think about it till my boyfriends mom said i should meet new people. I started two days ago after my boyfriend left for boot camp. thanks for the websites. I read them when i started on here. they are very helpful. i look forward to meeting you all, if i can

Comment by NavyMom4J on October 7, 2011 at 11:24am: All: I am a Colorado Mom as well in Lakewood. Look forward to meeting all of you at a future packing party or Mom's coffee. :)

Comment by NavyMom4J on October 7, 2011 at 11:22am: Craig- great resources below- Even though my son is past boot camp, it was neat just to read it all anyway and I learned even more of what he went through. My son is putting in time with the recruiters while home doing RAP. He pretty much is impressing them! What a change from the kid he was before he went to boot camp to the Man he has become! Pretty Awesome!

Comment by Craig on October 7, 2011 at 1:06am: Nick's - I run NavyDEP.com. I have 117 (meaning they have logged in within the past 30 days) active deppers just like you. These deppers share their joys and their sorrows about leaving. They ping off and motivate each other. They are all really hyped to go. Always remember every website has a purpose. N4M is a outstanding source for family member learning about the Navy. You on the other hand, really needs to get pumped up about boot camp and what is about to happen to you.

To get you pumped up on the Navy, I suggest you read these three items written by 3 Navy gals.

Dear Future Shipmate - (This is a great letter)

What to bring to Boot Camp and what NOT- Females Stuff Only

What happens at bootcamp - Day-per-Day? (Up to week #6)

btw: If you happen to be at the packing party at the Arvada recruit station last Saturady, then my wife or I probably have talked to you.

Comment by Miss Suzanne on October 6, 2011 at 10:00pm: Nick's Cupcake - good luck in BootCamp & your deployment! I think the best luck you will have in finding CO female Sailors is to go through your recruiting station. That's where my son met a few of his Navy friends.

Good luck, and God Bless!
