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 Invisible12 on September 2, 2011 at 3:48pm: Sandy - I don't know how you made it through. I WOULD'VE DIED!!!! I'm sure you were just sick over it. Thank God everything worked out. Where is she now?

Comment by Invisible12 on September 2, 2011 at 12:20pm: Thanks Sandy and Angie. It's very hard and I know that once he leaves my focus will be on PIR. As long as I keep having something to look forward to it makes it easier to deal with. My poor husband is afraid I'm going to have a nervous breakdown!

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on September 2, 2011 at 7:00am: Invisible hang on for the ride of your life but yes what amazing sailor you will meet on his PIR date. My son PIR'd 3-18-2011 and is now at Ft Meade Maryland and Ive never seen him happier. Bootcamp is the longest 8 weeks but realize it is much harder on us than on them Sandy is absolutely correct, you need that PIR group I still talk daily with some of the moms from my group. In fact Im going to Chicago to visit one of them in October

Comment by Invisible12 on September 1, 2011 at 10:57pm: Sandy - yes my son is leaving for BC. It's so crazy the range of emotions that go along with this whole journey. You're so happy and proud of your child but sooooo very sad that they're leaving. He's been a depper for so long and now it's only 2 weeks away. My world is going to come crashing down when I say goodbye on Sept. 15th.

Comment by Invisible12 on September 1, 2011 at 1:11pm: I live on Long Island and some of us are still out of power. I thankfully am not one of them. My power was out for 12 hrs. No floods but plenty of down trees. My countdown is on - my son leaves in 2 weeks! I'm crying.

Comment by NitaSewBee on September 1, 2011 at 12:17pm: did anyone get hit bad from the hurricane.. All we got was flooding on our basement.. although Scotia got hit real hard as did Schoharie. I hope everyone is doing okay. my prayers are with all that had problems, and God's bleesing that you are okay

Comment by joyce on August 22, 2011 at 7:40pm: Judy: Bet you get mail this week. Use to come for us on Wednesday or Thursday. Probably will get a bunch in one day. Then they will come regular over the next few weeks.

We are heading up to Albany this week to take my middle son to college. I will now have only one left at home. He cant wait to be an only child but I think he will miss his brother just like he misses the one in the navy

Comment by rsv227-Devin's Mom on August 18, 2011 at 12:03pm: Sandy, I am from Cape Vincent ( about 20 min. from Watertown). To my knowledge, I don't think that there are any Moms on here from my neck of the woods either,

It has been just about a year since my son left for BC. I remember the anxious waiting for phone calls & letters. I hated it! Now he is in Guam & this moms umbilical cord is stretched to the max!! He just turned 19 in July & he is my oldest, so it has taken some getting used to. Thank God for SKYPE, facebook, & cell phones.

Good luck to all of you moms & your sailors who are in BC & A school!

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on August 18, 2011 at 8:40am: Sandy Im from Rochester not too far away

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on August 18, 2011 at 8:39am: Sandy and Judy My son graduated from his A School in P'Cola July 29th I went there to visit and it was such a beautiful area. My son was at Corry.
