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 Glenni on April 23, 2018 at 11:39pm: Topdog1p,

Congratulations on your sons’s Acceptance as an aviator!

Comment by M's mom on April 22, 2018 at 1:26am: Welcome rousse54 and congrats to your son,

As topdog1p wrote, join the group "OCS Graduate Moms" here on Navy for Moms. That is specific to OCS. In this group, some of the Moms' officers were commissioned through ROTC, and some went to the Naval Academy.

Once he gets to OCS or even before, read back as far as you can on the OCS Graduate Moms group postings and discussion forums. We have probably answered many of your questions already, since we have had some recent new members with LO's (Loved Ones) currently at OCS.

Comment by redheadlass on April 21, 2018 at 9:52pm: topdog1p: thanks for your suggestions. I will definitely join those groups when the time comes! Looking forward to getting to know you and the other moms on this site!

Comment by topdog1p on April 21, 2018 at 5:52pm: Congrat rousse54. I am sure he was excited to receive that text. As time gets closer OCS graduate mom is another good page to join. If you are on fb look at officer training command newport they will post pictures there of the classes. You can spend a while searching out for your LO there. There will usually have a family and friends of class# page too.

Comment by redheadlass on April 21, 2018 at 4:05pm: My son just got a text today from his recruiter that he has been accepted for a Naval Aviator slot. He is very excited, I am excited for him but also nervous, understandably. No official OCS date yet but they are shooting for July 1... I am sure I will be on this site more once he gets an official date...
