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 navymom2013 on March 16, 2014 at 6:36pm: tidefan - that is when he gets back to where? Providence?

maybe the Navy has a shuttle that can come out and pick him up? Gee - I wish you all the luck in the world or maybe you need to just win a lottery - Yuk! It may be that someone is out the $155. Spending stupid money is always how I learn - price of education????

Comment by tidefan on March 16, 2014 at 6:08pm: I am never going to make his flight arrangements again. His flight gets in at 10:53pm-the last train is 10:22pm no bus that late. Cab is $155 dollars-help!!!

Comment by Kevsmom93 on March 16, 2014 at 1:30pm: Hello Mom's my son's A school is night class and he actually is enjoying his schedule. I received a pic on my phone from my son yesterday of quite of few of the Sailor's at the park.You could see groups all over BBQing and enjoying some fairly decent weather I think it was in the upper 40's. Probably felt like summer to all of them :-) Nice to have some good news our boys certainly could use it.

Here's a great photo from one of the Navy news updates.

Comment by ProudNavyMom#1 on March 15, 2014 at 2:01am: Oklahomamomma you are so blessed to hear from your boy so often.
Annette, you too. I'm still trying to figure out if my son is on night or morning classes.

Comment by mrsb on March 14, 2014 at 1:12pm: Mine is in the day class but he thought he was going to have the night class. I think some of his friends are in the night class as well.

Comment by Annette on March 14, 2014 at 12:39pm: I believe they are in night school for the duration. Next A school that starts will be day, then after that night again.

Comment by JTFsubmom on March 14, 2014 at 11:52am: My son is in night school too. He's not too fond of it. Do you know if they ever change to day if they're doing night now?

Comment by OklahomaMama on March 14, 2014 at 11:19am: My son is in night school, I still hear from him at least once a day, sometimes more.

Comment by Annette on March 14, 2014 at 11:15am: Wondering how many are in night school for A school? Class is 5-11 M-F. Apparently every new A school rotates day and evening. So evenings I know I won't hear from mine until after 11, or 8 my time.

Comment by FATHOMOM on March 13, 2014 at 11:17pm: Annette - Thanks for the website! I am ready to send something soon!

The very same here in our home - we will send our texts to our Sailor and he returns them when he has time. Our sons have busy and very long days. They are learning such vital information, such responsibility for their future jobs. I am very proud of our son's - may God guide ALL of them. ALL of you NAVY MOMMA'S too!! Again, I am so very thankful ALL of you are here. BIGG NAVY MOM hugg and a HOOYAH!
