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 RubberDucky on February 20, 2019 at 11:34pm: Hello DJsmom! Thanks for joining us! :)

Comment by DJsmom on February 20, 2019 at 9:25pm: Hello all ... It has been a while.

Comment by Kitabear on February 20, 2019 at 4:39pm: Thanks Eagle, my son would much rather be on land than at sea and it seems to me that EOD would be needed more on land so I was just curious how it went.

Comment by RubberDucky on February 20, 2019 at 4:30pm: Thanks Eagle, That's good to know. My son would like to avoid the ships. Yeah, I know, why did he join the Navy? LOL

Comment by Eagle on February 20, 2019 at 4:15pm: Kitabear, my son has deployed and has not been on a ship. His team flew out from the US, landed a day or two mid way and then continued to final destination. When it was time to come home, they sent them a few at a time, Fathers and married came home first, singles last. He was deployed for 6 mos.

Comment by Eagle on February 20, 2019 at 4:11pm: Sarah, Very good and thoughtful response and I do agree the freedom and money can all add to it.

I think its very sad to see, when my son was in training, I think it was just prior to dive school, two guys showed up for a morning drill at the beach, still drunk from the night before. They were promptly sent home.

Comment by RubberDucky on February 20, 2019 at 4:02pm: And I would be happy to get a PM thread going for anyone who would like to join. Send me a friend request. I will include all. As I said, I am at the very beginning of this long journey and appreciated the support!

Comment by Kitabear on February 20, 2019 at 4:01pm: For those of you who have been in this longer, I was wondering, how much time do they actually spend on the ship? Do they spend more time stationed somewhere as opposed to some of the other rates? My son is still in training.

Comment by RubberDucky on February 20, 2019 at 4:00pm: Thanks Stephanie,

I had asked about a facebook page but was told there wasn't one. Going to pursue with Jeff.

Excited to be meeting some sisters here! Thank you!

Comment by Dolphin on February 20, 2019 at 2:11pm: Good morning EOD moms, I was wondering if you know about EOD family page? If you go on to Jeff Diffy he can get you on the page it is private page and very secure.

Blessings

Stephanie
