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 janlee on December 11, 2010 at 4:49pm: Hi, Sounds good. lol. when did your son/daughter leave for BC?

Hard huh? Sad, yet exciting.

Comment by BBWinthemoon on December 11, 2010 at 4:41pm: not sure if I am in this group yet, but thought I would hang out here with you guys until I know.

Comment by janlee on December 11, 2010 at 3:19pm: Bexwest - Even if your not sure, you can still hang out with us here.lol

Some of us are still not sure.

Welcome!

Comment by janlee on December 11, 2010 at 3:16pm: Hes going to A school in Connecticut for 33 weeks.

Im worried about him getting bored with so much schooling.

Comment by BexwestShip11Div065 on December 11, 2010 at 3:11pm: Just signed up yesterday, and I'm not sure if my son/s grad date is 2/4/11 for sure - that is what the recuriter told me when he left last Wed the 8th. Recruiter told me to call him in a week to get confirmation of the grad date, and address, so I am waiting to call him, and for the letter, but if there is a faster way to get the info, I'd love to hear! thank you!

Comment by janlee on December 11, 2010 at 3:10pm: Your doing a great job.

WOW Italy!! Thats great.

Still learning ins and outs, all i know is that my son will be on a submarine.

Asked the recruiter what exactly was his job description and he said he could'nt tell us. lol whatever that meant.

I'm sure i will learn all about it soon enough. One step at a time.

Comment by Brigitte on December 11, 2010 at 3:05pm: Hi everyone! Just received my letter today...can't stop smiling even though it was just three small written lines from my daughter. Anyone else in ship11 div060?

Comment by janlee on December 11, 2010 at 2:53pm: Ha Ha i bet!

Its going to take more getting used to on my end, than his i think.:)

How long has your son been in the Navy? You seem 'seasoned' about all this stuff.lol

Comment by janlee on December 11, 2010 at 2:31pm: Can you believe they are on their way??? For some weird reason, i keep thinking its going to be over after BC, i have to keep reminding myself that this is just the beginning.

My son is in for 5 years! Its kinda too much to think about at one time, is'nt it. lol

Comment by janlee on December 11, 2010 at 1:53pm: Karen, hi!! We are from Pennsylvania. And yes it is FREEZING here, although i hate to complain, i'm sure its worse where they are!.

Actually my son left on the 29th also, but ut was two days of recruiting office and MEPS until he actually arrived at BC on the 1st.

He arrived late in the evening and i didnt get my call home until the next day at 4:00 afternoon.

I slept with my phone in my hand!
