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 EmilyD on September 23, 2013 at 7:39pm: Thanks AMBerg. I'm sure he is fine. I just miss him so much. He is my oldest and first to leave the nest. I slowly am adapting, though!! Also I don't know what ctm is!!!

Comment by AMBurg60 on September 23, 2013 at 5:31pm: Emily my son's PIR was 7/19. He is in pensicola in "A" school for CTM. He thinks he may graduation in January, then off to "C" school. Wherever that will be. If in fact he does go to C" school. Don't worry about your son. No news is good news. My son didn't call all that much. He told me how busy he was. I got 1 letter the whole time he was in BC..lol

Comment by EmilyD on September 23, 2013 at 9:24am: AMBurg 60, we are in lyons. My son currently in bootcamp. Last I knew his rate was corpsman, but if he could change to something with aviation at bootcamp he was going to. I still haven't heard from him. All the srs from him division called home sat, except for 11 who had wisdom teeth out, so I am assuming he is one of the 11. How is your sailor doing in their career?

Comment by EmilyD on September 23, 2013 at 9:20am: Any New York moms going to PIR nov 1st?

Comment by EmilyD on September 23, 2013 at 9:19am: Hi jams mom! I actually have a friend who's son is in Yokosuka also. He is on the uss George Washington I believe. Such a small navy world!!

Comment by sunshinefam on September 21, 2013 at 12:08pm: Thx..for the info..My son is going for CS..Its my understanding that his A School will be in Fort Lee, VA.

Comment by lmnadelady on September 21, 2013 at 7:16am: sunshine fam- his first choice was Whidbey Island, WA. He had to go on to C school for some more training and before he left there for Whidbey Island, the word was out his group was changing their home base to Japan. LOL oh well, so much for the best laid plans. Oh how I was going to travel across the states!! But he has been to S Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Phillipines and this year Australia. Anxious to hear where he goes this time, he is out to sea now.

DivontesMom - the time has gone fairly well. But oh I'm looking forward to stateside and only a 7 hr flight away or a very nice car trip. The hardest has been he has a niece (my only grandchild) and she was 3 months old when when went to BC. He flew home this last Christmas so got to spend 2 weeks with her. She is 3 now and he is missing all of her, sadder yet she is missing him, but we talk of him often. One day she will understand and he will be that special Uncle from far away places.

Have a good day ladies.

Comment by HuskyMom on September 20, 2013 at 10:37pm: lmnadelady-I hope your the time goes quickly for you! My sailor is going to an Aviation Structural Mechanic. He wants to go overseas, but we've heard most of the AM's stay in the States.
