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 xraychic1 (Ship 12 Div 312) on August 9, 2011 at 6:10pm: This is my first time up here! My son arrived at boot camp 2 weeks ago from today. We have received the graduation information with his comments on it, but now "real" letter yet. Just wondering how long it usually takes. This has been a very long two weeks! :)

Comment by Ronette40 on August 8, 2011 at 8:01am: My son graduated bootcamp at the end of July....hes off to Pensacola FL for awhile. Not sure how long tho...

Comment by ladyayp on August 4, 2011 at 1:32pm: Sailor4her, I have two sons in the navy. Oldest one in for over 13 years. If there is anything I cando to help ease your fears, please ask. My youngest left over a year ago, and like you I thought I would never survive. Please know that she will be fine and make you a ery proud mom, which I am certain you already are. Again, if you have any questions, please ask.

Comment by sailor4Her on August 4, 2011 at 1:24pm: My daughter's Chief told me I need to join this group and here I am. My daughter leaves November 26th and I am trying to take my mind off of it. It is getting closer and closer and I am trying my best to best strong and not cry so much because right now she is the strongest one. She is my oldest and is so mature for her age, but I do no she has some worries that she will not let me know of because she thinks I will break down. I am going to be on here to keep in touch with other moms like myself and hope and pray we can keep each other encouraged for our children.

Comment by ladyayp on August 4, 2011 at 1:19pm: Do any of you live in Georgia?

Comment by ladyayp on August 4, 2011 at 1:12pm: I am a proud mom of two sailors

Comment by Suzi-OH on August 1, 2011 at 5:56pm: Rhonda - my son is AWV. He is training for the E-6B Mercury....they have super long antennae they drop so they can communicate with subs. They are essentially capable of being a command center in the sky if necessary.
TACAMO stands for "Take Charge And Move Out". Very interesting stuff!!!

Comment by Shari (FTS ATI) Mom on August 1, 2011 at 5:48pm: Hi everyone on Facebook, my only son is at GL 3rd week. I'm waiting for first letter,, his contract is FTS AV Reserves. We're in San Diego he is hoping to get stationed in San Diego. We miss him already, can't wait to see him graduation PIR 9/9 fly home on 9/11

Comment by Victoria on August 1, 2011 at 12:14pm: Hello everyone, missed you all the last couple weeks. The boy is enroute home for 2wks, I'm so excited & can't wait. Should be here sometime tomorrow if all goes according to plan. Last night everything was still on schedule so my fingers are crossed :)

Comment by Rhonda8881 on July 31, 2011 at 11:52pm: Suzi-OH, what is your son's rate? What is TACAMO? My son is a submariner, so I have no clue as to anything with shore duty! Especially in the middle of OK! LOL! I hope he is able to stay cool with this rotten heat we are having now in OK.
