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 ambi9821 on August 17, 2014 at 8:42pm: Babs, my son just left Monterey. He absolutely loved it there! Yours will, too. Very different from Boot Camp!!

Comment by Babs on August 17, 2014 at 12:22pm: Just wanted to say hello! My Sailor graduated this past Friday and is now in Monterey.

Comment by Mommahead on July 21, 2014 at 4:37pm: We just returned also. I mainly went because I didn't think my daughter would be coming home before she was sent to her new duty. It was short and sweet-not a huge production-but I was glad I went. She was very busy running around and checking out, but it was neat to talk to her instructors and meet some of her classmates. She ended up flying home two days before we did! I would talk to her and see how important it is to her.

Comment by NavyDaughter/Mom on July 21, 2014 at 4:16pm: I don't think she would be the only one, - I know that everyone in my son's class did not family there.

Comment by soveryproudmom on July 21, 2014 at 4:14pm: To be honest, I haven't talked with her yet - I would not want to disappoint her, or to have her be the only one that did not have family present...

Comment by NavyDaughter/Mom on July 21, 2014 at 3:50pm: We just returned from my son's graduation last week. It was great to be there and to be a part of it. However, it was noted more than once that there were more family present then usual and there were still some kids there that didn't have family present. Did you talk to your sailor?

Comment by soveryproudmom on July 21, 2014 at 3:46pm: This is going to sound terrible - but I have to ask, how important is the graduation from DLI? Our sailor graduates in September and will be coming home for a couple of weeks. We had planned to attend the graduation, but are now thinking that perhaps it would be money better spent to visit her once she is settled in at her new base. We have never missed any of our kids important milestones, but with her engagement and the upcoming wedding, money will be tight.

Comment by KC'smom on July 8, 2014 at 1:24pm: Yes!!! It's bad enough he met his wife in A school & now she's all he cares about! Then they have to visit her parents in Texas & I'm on the east coast - sigh

Comment by BunkerQB on July 8, 2014 at 12:32pm: The downside of having inlaws who love your son too much is that they monopolize his "free" time. Once in awhile, I feel like raising my hand and shout, "Remember me?!! I am the one who carried him for 9 months and gave birth!" Well, as long as they are happy - that is all that counts. Monterey is one of most beautiful spots on the planet. Be sure to stay long enough to drive down to Big Sur.
