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."

Hi julee88,

Where is your son leaving from?  My son also leaves August 21, would love to keep in touch to share info. and support each other after our SR's are gone.  I'm so glad to have found Angelsmom, you are the only other one I have seen that have the same date.

Hi, my son leaves for BC August 21 also from Jacksonville.  I'm so overwhelmed trying to navigate through this site and get myself prepared for him to leave!

I am also overwhelmed, there is so much information. I try to get on here and play so I will get familiar with it but I too feel overwhelmed. My daughter also will be leaving from Jacksonville. We will be going down on the 19th to send some family time.

Hi, my son went to his DEP meeting last night and his recruiter told him that he will have to report to MEPS at 3PM on the 20th for the night and then will be sworn in on the 21st and then off to BC.  Were you told the same thing?  I was hoping to spend more time with him the day before.  Do you know if there are hotels to stay at near where they have to stay?

Permalink Reply by Angelsmom on July 15, 2013 at 11:45pm

Yes I was told the same thing. My family is going down on the 19 so we can spend the day at the beach once more. I don't know how well my heart will be in it , but shell never know. I haven't gotten any hotel reservations yet either.

I just saw your answer, sorry, I think I've asked the same question 5 times, oops.  Do you know if there is a standard hotel that parents use that are dropping on their SR's?

 Thank you that was good information.
