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 Mary (Chris' mom) on February 1, 2013 at 8:09am: Welcome sailorwifenmom, thank both of your sailors for us and big Navy mom squeeze to them!! I have heard Coronado is a great command; best of luck to Mr IS!

Comment by sailorwifenmom on February 1, 2013 at 3:25am: Hi, I just joined this group and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a Navy vet married to an Active Duty Sailor, and we have 2 kids, a son who is also an Active Duty Sailor and a daughter in college.

Our son is an IS stationed at Coronado :-)

Comment by Kim on January 30, 2013 at 12:18pm: Hi Laura! Mine is still in the same boat as yours (haha)! He is impatiently waiting orders...has no clue where he will be sent but it sounds like orders are slowly trickling in for the OZ group! He just had his first birthday on land in three years and then said they didn't go and do anything.

Take care and let me know where your son ends up!

Comment by Laura on January 30, 2013 at 4:36am: Hi Kim!

Hope all is well. My son is still officially with the Enterprise. No new orders yet. There has been talk of two different carriers but no firm orders yet. How is your son doing these days?

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on January 29, 2013 at 10:34pm: It can be short of an act of congress for him to change commands but if he can do that, then yes, some commands do see more activity.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on January 28, 2013 at 11:00am: ZacsMom, I understand his point of view and your reservations concerning his assignments...has he looked into the Intelligence program that I suppose is still offered at I think Tidewater Community College near VA Beach. He obviously scores well on his tests, and already has security clearances in place. I think there are a few colleges that offer both 2 yr and 4 yr degrees in Intelligence/Homeland Security. It might be a way for him to work and go to school. Everything in the classroom can be learned from the job. Just a suggestion.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on January 28, 2013 at 12:04am: ZacsMom, good to hear from you...yes, it varies so much with the ISes but it seems that more often than not the reservists stay stateside in this rating.

Comment by Ellen005 on January 25, 2013 at 9:08pm: Hi Kim, thanks for the info. I'm hoping as a reservist my son will be able to volunteer to deploy...you are right, its all about what the navy needs AND be ing patient, huh?
Hi Stacy. Good luck to your daughter, I hope she gets a wonderful assignment. Did your daughter just graduate from C school?

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on January 25, 2013 at 10:30am: Stacy, congrats to your daughter for making it this far into a tough program. I know she will enjoy it, no matter where she ends up. My son has had good commands and great commands, but everywhere he has learned some fun lessons and some hard, growing-up lessons.

She will learn sooo much more being out in the world than she can from books. Everything is another adventure. We are here when you can't hear from her or she is sad, so you are sad for her. Breathe deeply.......the ride is beginning.

Comment by Stacy - Virginia Beach, VA on January 25, 2013 at 10:22am: My daughter is getting her orders today. This is going to be the longest morning ever! In a way, I want her to get a deployment and see the world but the mom in me wants her to stay stateside so I can see her once in a while! Anticipation.....so proud of her as I know everyone here is proud of their child!
