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 Smile09 AD/HM Mom on March 20, 2012 at 7:22am: Hello! My son left for BC on 3/15/2012 & we are in Vero Beach. Happy to have another group of understanding supporters. I have found, that even though I've not received his form letter yet, I have begun writing him letters anyway. It's therapeutic for me to feel like I'm still sharing my life with him. I have a long way to go to learn all the acronyms (esp. all the schools & jobs) but I'll get there. Thanks!

Comment by Fishingurl04 on March 19, 2012 at 10:33pm: My Husband went to BC on 3/14. My house is so big without him here. I just have to keep remembering he is doing this to better both of our lives. Got his "box" today with his personal belongings.

Comment by Tchrmom Lisa on March 16, 2012 at 9:11pm: mdamon70, No, is isn't in BC. He graduated a year ago Feb. Did his A school in P'cola, C school in Oceana (VA Bch), which is his permanent duty station. His squadron is aboard the Enterprise, and they left this past Sunday. It's his first deployment, and the Enterprise's final!

Comment by mdamon70/SHIP11Div.134 on March 16, 2012 at 9:32am: @Tchrmom Lisa... that's great... is your child in BC?

Comment by Joe's Mom on March 15, 2012 at 2:08pm: My son left for bootcamp 2-15 from volusia county. Are there anymore moms from volusia county?

Comment by Tchrmom Lisa on March 15, 2012 at 3:23am: mdamon70- I'm in PB County!

Comment by mdamon70/SHIP11Div.134 on March 14, 2012 at 7:07am: @palmbeachnavymom... I'm doing very well especially now that I received the PIR FORM letter... I was starting to freak out a little... thinking something must have gone wrong or maybe he was ill cause of the delay with the letter... I can handle everything else cause I know this is what he really wanted... thank you!!!!

Comment by palmbeachnavymom on March 12, 2012 at 9:59pm: mdamone70-My son graduated boot camp Dec 29. He got leave for 9 days so he came home for New Years eve until Jan 8th. Very nice to have him home.

How are you holding up? I had to close my sons bedroom door for 2 weeks b/c I was such a basket case. I cried alot. It was like I was never going to see him again. Very silly I know but things got sooo much better when he got to sub school. Texting, phone calls and skype. Oh my!

Comment by navymom3 on March 11, 2012 at 10:24pm: mdamone70 make sure you save that letter as the code for your parking pass will be on it. Enjoy PIR when you go.
