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 NJ Navy Mom Ship 03 Div 115 on March 3, 2012 at 2:34pm: dawn - watched the video and loved it. We all watched and it definately helped. Does anyone know of a group of moms anywhere near northern Bergen County?

Comment by DJsmom on February 17, 2012 at 1:12am: Thank you!! I am Vickie not just DJ's mom

Comment by DJsmom on February 17, 2012 at 1:04am: DJ has arrived in GL for BC. I got the phone call about 10:30 tonite. It sounded scripted but he did sound great. No nervousness that I could tell in his voice. So very proud of him as well as all of the other recruits. I am very thankful to have your children as well as my own to choose to serve our country and protect our freedom as it is today. Thank you!!

Comment by NJ Navy Mom Ship 03 Div 115 on February 16, 2012 at 4:21pm: dawn - Thank you so much for the good wishes for Dan as well as the link. I started watching but I'll wait until I get home from work and watch with my daughter. Thank you again. I'd be lost without all of you.

Comment by DJsmom on February 16, 2012 at 3:54pm: Thanks Dawn for the link ... I did watch it. Yes very informative. DJ swore in this morning and he is waiting at the airport now his flight leaves at 4:35 ish. I am doing ok so far I am sure I will lose it after I talk with him when he arrives. I am soooo very proud of him and I am sure he will do just fine. He has been waiting for this.

Comment by NJ Navy Mom Ship 03 Div 115 on February 16, 2012 at 11:41am: oh believe me you don't know how grateful I am that either I found this group or that you found me!! I would be lost. I'm going to get my daughter Kathleen to check it out too so she can feel a little better. Dan is her soulmate and she's kind of at loose ends. She's busy with school and student teaching but he was the one who was always there for her. My other son is 6 years older than her and not as much patience.

Comment by NJ Navy Mom Ship 03 Div 115 on February 15, 2012 at 3:00pm: Well, Dan left last night for Great Lakes. His sister was crying sooo bad. He called at 1:10am to say he arrived safely. I guess now we wait for the boy in the box. It's very hard isn't it? I never expected it to be as difficult as it is.

Comment by DJsmom on February 14, 2012 at 11:05pm: @Dawn Well tonite he went to his Dads so ... I will enjoy him when I pick him up from the hotel tomorrow nite. I will be praying for her and for all of the others getting ready to start BC.

Comment by DJsmom on February 13, 2012 at 10:34pm: Thank you Dawn ... DJ is still home tonite because at MEPS they didnt get him a plane ticket for tomorrow. He was orginally supposed to leave 16th Feb. Then it was changed to the 14 sooo I guess they never changed the ticket. I feel lucky to still have him for a day or 2 more but I was preparing myself and now I need to do it all over again. Welcome to the emotional roller coaster.
