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 mrsb on June 28, 2014 at 11:03pm: Hello ladies! I just wanted to share a photo taken today. Annette had an open house/welcome home/bon voyage party for her son who surprised her last saturday morning by appearing on her couch in the wee hours. He will be off to a far away place in July. It was so nice to finally meet Annette, her husband and Sailor Son. Fair Winds Sailor!

Comment by Psalm150.1.6 on June 28, 2014 at 11:36am: My son is arriving today with 14 other sailors! PIR was yesterday! He is two hours from home!

Comment by FATHOMOM on June 25, 2014 at 2:50pm: Yes, they must phase up to yellow and blue card to wear civilian clothes. I sent jean pants, shorts, pajama bottoms, more of his fav. underwear, work out wear, tennis shoes, flip flops - we used to call them thongs ha ha!, lots of casual t-shirts, a few less-casual shirts, swimming trunks (there is a lake there on base for the guys to swim in) sweat shirts. I understand as long as they have earned wearing civilian clothes and they are not on duty or watch, they can wear what they want. In October my husband and I visited Groton (totally awesome) when we ate chow with all of his firends, they all had the same casual guy wear. HOOYAH!

Comment by Linda on June 25, 2014 at 1:45pm: I understand that they have to phase up to get to wear civilian clothes. My sailor has ask me to send him some clothe from home What can and cannot I send? I am sure there are Navy standards that have to be met. Do not want to send clothes or shoes that would get him into trouble.

Thanks

Thanks

Comment by FATHOMOM on June 23, 2014 at 3:13pm: Welcome Linda. Congratulations to your Sailor on P.I.R. Your Sailor-son will enjoy sub school. He will have lots to do while getting settled @ Groton and will enjoy a little more relaxed environment. HOOYAH!

Comment by mrsb on June 23, 2014 at 1:43pm: Welcome to the sub world Linda!!! My son is due to graduate from Groton next month and move on to somewhere. He will hopefully find out today where he will be going. I'm hoping west coast!

Comment by Linda on June 23, 2014 at 1:29pm: My son arrived at sub school over the weekend. His PIR from bootcamp was 6/20/2014. Spoke to him last night he is enjoying the weather coming from Florida where the temp is in the high 90's. Was looking forward to getting started in sub school.

Comment by tidefan on June 20, 2014 at 9:41pm: mrsb my son didn't have to move but his room mate did and then he got a new room mate-go figure. He said that they have been moving furniture all week

Comment by mrsb on June 19, 2014 at 10:13am: stylist613 nd KKristen, my son did have to move on tuesday. We skyped on Sunday and he was hoping he wouldn't have to move again but turns out it's a nice room and the A/C works so he's happy!
