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 MV (Ensign Boone's mom) on June 18, 2010 at 3:49pm: Casey, I just spoke to Boone & Rachel, and Rachel, and they are on the road! They are thankful for your help, and they are really looking forward to meeting you and your guys! Is the street you're moving to close them on Webster? Thanks again for your help, and I'm sure they will help y'all, too! :-)

Comment by Kathy on June 18, 2010 at 10:36am: Amberly--you are usually assigned a PCM the first time you make an appt. through the central appointment line. they usually just ask if you have a male or female preference.

Comment by Rachel (Boone's Wife, Nuke EM) on June 18, 2010 at 9:39am: Hey! We are moving in today on Webster street! Looking forward to meeting you all! Will be there probably around 1730 if anyone is available to lend a hand! :) Thanks!

Comment by Kathy on June 17, 2010 at 6:53pm: dolphin--i don't remember applying for anything in regards to tricare...after my husband joined the military, I went to the nearest air force base to "apply" for healthcare and when I did, they told me that everyone just automatically is signed up for tricare standard. It wasn't until we moved to SC that I went to visit the tricare office again and learned that you only have to fill out paperwork if you want tricare prime (which i did!). Also, dental insurance is not a freebie for spouses, so if she wants that, she'll def. have to do some paperwork. she can get the forms for everything @ the tricare office on base (on pulaski street, right next to branch medical --your son should be able to show her where that is)

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on June 16, 2010 at 5:56pm: Hey cpmom - M said he talked to LJ. Told him that they can't get away with anything because their moms talk!!LOL Told him, "Dude watch how you spend your money, I've already gotten in trouble" I got a big kick out of that one!!!

Comment by MV (Ensign Boone's mom) on June 16, 2010 at 5:37pm: I, too, am a mom of new resident to Goose Creek! My son and DiL are in the process today and tomorrow of moving their household to GC, and they hope to be in their base housing on Friday! They are on Webster Street. I'm thrilled for them, too! :-)

Comment by cpmom on June 16, 2010 at 5:34pm: Tn Mom:

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on June 16, 2010 at 5:30pm: I'm a mom of a new resident of Goose Creek. My son will be home tonight to get my DIL (staying with us) and back to SC on Saturday. They will be at #4 Jefferson. So excited for them.

Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on June 16, 2010 at 5:25pm: in one month from today i will be down in Goose Creek visiting my sailor! so excited! He will just be entering Phase 3 then, so i think it is a well timed vacation. I can't wait!

I'm still thinking things over... so many options!! But I'll be getting my gen eds out of the way before my freshman year of college, so I'll be good to go! :)
