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."

Moms/Dads/Families with Nukes in Ballston Spa, NY

Information

Wanted to start a group for moms, dads, and other family members that have Nukes currently attending Prototype in Ballston Spa, NY.

Members: 169
Latest Activity: Jun 19

Thought I would start a group for the families of sailors stationed in NY for Prototype. It will be nice to chat about what is going on with our sailors whether it is good or bad so that we can support each other. I have connected with many people on this site but it is always nice to meet others that are going through the same things together. Also if you have had a sailor in NY for an extended amount of time then you can help the new ones just coming in on what to expect.

Comment by OkSuzy on September 5, 2013 at 3:59pm: Anyone here have a LO graduating on Nov 1?

Comment by BlueRockSailorMom([prototype) on September 5, 2013 at 3:33pm: Alison, all I have heard is that he detatches from prototype on 28 September and will be headed home on leave before he goes to Georgia.

Comment by Alison on September 5, 2013 at 1:19pm: BlueRockSailorMom, it sounds like they are in the same class. Have you heard anything about a graduation date?

Comment by BlueRockSailorMom([prototype) on September 3, 2013 at 9:23pm: Allison, sounds like your son and mine are on the same schedule. He passed his 100% test a couple weeks ago and his headed to Georgia to the USS Rhode Island.

Comment by Alison on September 2, 2013 at 9:46pm: Hi PattiP, My son is supposed to graduate this month but I don't have a date either. Hard to make travel plans. He passed his 100% test a couple of weeks ago and got his orders. He will be going to the USS Georgia.

Comment by AngelainMojave on September 1, 2013 at 8:18am: Does any body have a new date for the graduation? It has moved according to my son and last we spoke he still did not know when...I have to give up getting to go for the graduation. And now he has orders to Conn, anybody else?

Comment by AngelainMojave on September 1, 2013 at 8:14am: PattiP,

I believe my son may be in the house with your son, do they have a basement room? That is where my son is living with 3 other guys, none of them have the same group though so they come in go in different shifts and different plants.

Comment by BlueRockSailorMom([prototype) on August 20, 2013 at 9:18pm: Eppidoo..My son will be leaving prototype at he send of September. Maybe he can hook your Sailor up in his apartment. It's in Glenville. I sent you a friend request.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on August 8, 2013 at 5:39pm: Mine is also MM, Nancy Jo. You should private message me with your son's last name and I'll ask mine if he knows yours.
