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 Joan/E's Mom on May 4, 2010 at 9:17pm: Hi Jaz,
Thank you for the warm welcome! I anxiously waiting for that wonderful transformation. I look forward to chatting, and fellowshipping with you and anyone else that want to share their thoughts and concerns. Say Hi to your mom; she is blessed a with a wonderful son!

Comment by Joan/E's Mom on May 4, 2010 at 6:17pm: Good Afternoon ladies! I prayed for a website like this. I am a new bootcamp mom. It's been pretty rough on me. I miss my son so much. But, it so nice and comforting to see other mom's comments. I don't feel so alone. My son applied for Corpsman also Marcy. I am praying that everything goes well with his training. Beautiful profession; helping your Navy BROTHERS in need! I am very proud of him and all of our son/daughters..God bless them where they are. Joan/Maricopa,AZ

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 1, 2010 at 4:25pm: Congratulations! Even better with this economy, good for you!

Comment by Diane1954 on May 1, 2010 at 4:24pm: lLet me know if something gets planned. I'm game. i am going to Tampa, FL tomorrow morning (7:15 AM flight). I start my new job by training for 3 days there, then come back to Phoenix on Thursday. I'm going to be handling the same national account for claims, but just with a new company. Got a nice raise too! Much better than if I had stayed with the old.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 1, 2010 at 2:27pm: Summer can be hard to plan get-togethers since everyone's vacationing, but I'm also up for spontaneous too!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 1, 2010 at 2:25pm: We stayed at the Drake in Chicago, sort of splurged but worth it ;) My son had done Battlestations right before grad, so he took a long hot bath and crashed! We kept it low-key, just did what he wanted (including room service) and stayed right around the Michigan Ave area, just beautiful. I've only been to Chicago a few times so I'm not the expert. For A school grad I stayed at a Candlewood Suites by GL, nice, had a kitchenette too.

Comment by dooby1424 on May 1, 2010 at 11:04am: are there any get-togethers planner for the near future?

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on April 30, 2010 at 12:37am: I would love to be able to see another PIR; lucky you! Are you staying in GL?

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on April 29, 2010 at 3:37pm: Oh course, weather is also important! Our PIR was in October and unseasonably warm (a runner died in the Chicago marathon that weekend). Then A school graduation was in February - brrr! Hopefully you'll have gorgeous spring weather.
Wish I could figure out our own weather; the wind is rocking my house and I'm going to have a lot of leaves to skim from my pool!

Comment by Diane1954 on April 26, 2010 at 11:39am: I disagree. I don't think dressier is better. You have to remember that business casual in the West is a lot different than the East. You need to be comfortable. Sitting in bleachers with dress clothing for several hours is not comfortable. You don't know when you go in where your sailor is going to be as there is no indication where each group is going to be standing. I'm not saying be "sloppy" but you really need to dress for comfort, not show.
