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 pmgcakes on May 12, 2011 at 6:16pm: Hi Kelsi - sorry you are having to deal with that. Its shocking to me in this day and age that people can be so ruthless. ignore, ignore ignore, and if necessary call the police.

Comment by pmgcakes on May 1, 2011 at 10:33am: Your Welcome! - I find that I refer to the site alot, always seems to have any/all the answers that I have been looking for. We live at the end of Long Island and hopped on the ferry one day and headed over to Connecticut, The Naval Museam was great! I hope your Son in enjoying Groton. Currently my son is in S. Carolina, studing as MM in the Nuke Field he just started phase 2 and will have another year of school. he is planning on requesting Groton as his home base, fingers crossed that he will get it.

Comment by MM89Beth on April 29, 2011 at 10:37am: Does anyone have a loved one who is a submarine MM-WEP?

I can't find any info about how long their schooling is :(

My son is in BESS now & has no idea either???

Military.com does not seem to be up to date on this subject.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks :)

Comment by Lorraine on April 27, 2011 at 9:27pm: Penny, Scott has been out to sea twice but it's been less than a week each time. He talks about it being really close quarters throughout but I think he'll do just fine. Sounds like they will be going out for a much longer time the next time they head out. I'll send you a message with my FB name.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on April 27, 2011 at 2:55pm: Also, for all of you Nuke Moms, we have a Group on Facebook for anybody that would like to join (much easier to use if you are already a facebook user). Just N4M message me with your FB name and I'll send you an invite to join the private group.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on April 27, 2011 at 2:54pm: Hey Lorraine, has your son been out on a sub as of yet? Wondering how he liked it if he did? My son is also wanting to go sub but hasn't, as of yet, filled out the paperwork to do so.

Comment by Lorraine on April 27, 2011 at 1:16pm: Welcome, navy girl and 89Beth. You might find some helpful linformation by going back through the pages of this group. Good luck to your sailors!
