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 denbarb76- Ship 03 Div 146 on April 14, 2010 at 1:41am: My son has been at Meridian since Saturday he called tonight and sounded discouraged. He's not classing up until 4/26, and seems that they had "watch" today (him and a few others), they were disciplined for having cell phones and boots not being buffed enough. Someone told him AZs are held to a higher standard, does anyone know if that's true? Did anyone else's sailor feel this way during the first week of school? I feel like I did after receiving the 1st call from bootcamp:( I read through some of the old posts here and copied them in an email to him, so he could read that others have been there, and to stay positive. I'm hoping its just an adjustment period to the new environment. I needed to vent and thankful for this venue to do so.

Comment by mother always on April 13, 2010 at 3:45pm: I am very sorry about those news;my prayers for them and families.

I have some nice news about my son,he called me a while ago and told me that HE IS COMING HOME!!!!! HOOYYAA!!!
He will be reporting on the 28 in Lemoore Ca.
I am so,so HAPPY!!!!
Nice afternoon!

Comment by denbarb76- Ship 03 Div 146 on April 3, 2010 at 11:05am: Peggy and Mimi thank you so much for the great info. We are going to take him into Chicago for lunch and he wants to go to the Sears Tower too. My tissues are packed along with my binoculars:) So very proud and excited for all our young men and women who will have PIR next Friday, what an accomplishment for each of them.

Have a great weekend!!

Comment by mother always on April 3, 2010 at 6:43am: My son received his orders;he will be going to Lemoore Ca.
Don't have dates when he'll be coming home....
Nice day all!!
Can you write where he'll be stationed?

Comment by denbarb76- Ship 03 Div 146 on April 2, 2010 at 9:10pm: Hi All

We received the "I am a Sailor" call today....WooHoo, I could hear the pride in his voice. He's looking forward to going to A school, said he'll be working out with the Marines until his AZ classes start on 4-19. Didn't realize there were Marines stationed in Meridian as well. PIR 4-9, grad and go so I'll be at the airport very early in the a.m. to see him off. Can't wait to see our sailor !!!

Comment by tigerpaw on April 2, 2010 at 12:28pm: Thanks everyone for the welcome. Just got the semi-bad news that he could be in "A" for 2-3 months due to backlogs. So the process hasn't changed much. Anyway, being able to speak to him daily is a relief........which makes it "not so bad at all."

Comment by tigerpaw on March 31, 2010 at 11:08am: Hubby arrived at "A" school in Meridian yesterday for "AZ". The first 4 days are processing days so the count down doesn't start until next Monday for me. Finally, 8 more weeks and he can come home. Yippee!
