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 CLAMOM on February 9, 2012 at 5:59pm: Ship09 div 091.....Letters,letters and more letters. Pictures, cards, and inspirational quotes helped my babygirl survive boot camp. Some people get set back for not passing a test or run but from what I have been told if your SR is going to be set back they make them call you so you can change you reservations so if you are flying please get refundable tickets. Liberty is granted for the entire weekend. I was lucky because my Sailor was able to spend the night at the hotel with us. So it depends on where your daughter will be going for A or C school.

Comment by ship09 div 091 on February 9, 2012 at 5:46pm: Hey facebook moms. My daughter is in her 3rd week of Navy bootcamp. Can you advise what I can send her besides pictures, stamps and calling cards? Also, can you tell me how often do they not graduate when they are supposed to? And one more question. How many days of liberty do they get after graduation?

Comment by Mrs"C" Alex's Mom on January 26, 2012 at 1:24am: What is the Navy's actual policy for mild anxiety? About a year ago my son began seen a therapist and was diagnosed with MILD ANXIETY. He was never prescribed medication, he only saw a therapist for about six months and then discharged due to improvement and was given a letter saying he no longer met the criteria and no longer suffered from the mild anxiety. Can the Navy deny him because he was at one point in his life diagnosed with the condition? Please help!!!

Comment by MzNavyMom on January 21, 2012 at 10:34am: Hello to all the Navy Moms.

I'm looking to visit my son when he returns from deployment. Does anyone know of the lodging near the naval base in San Diego, His ship is USS Makin Island.

Comment by Victoria on January 16, 2012 at 10:22pm: Praying for the family of the SR who passed away too. I am so sorry they are going through such a horrible experience.
