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 motheroftwo (ship 07/div 340) on March 3, 2012 at 2:55pm: Spensmom that would be my boy!!! Or I guess I should say man! !! He came in late last night but is with his dad thru wed. Then its my turn!!!! So hard to share these short visits but so glad that he will be stationed in va beach!!

Comment by spensmom on March 3, 2012 at 1:44pm: Hi, NC Moms....Looking for a mom who lives in Thomasville and has an 18-year old who has been in for @ 7 months, he said. Was in O'Hare airport yesterday and talked with this nice young man. He actually lives in Gso. as I do. Just wanted to let you know that I had talked with him and we had a nice conversation and he looks healthy. :)

Comment by mamawalrus on February 28, 2012 at 2:52am: Sunshine..I would probably fly as close as I could. LOl I am not much into driving in new areas that far by myself. Do you know if there are any close hotels to the base there in Cherry Point?

Comment by HonorHim on February 21, 2012 at 9:35am: Hi y'all...Just to let CHOCOLATELABLOVER know..that I live about an hour south of E city. My sailor is in the Nuke Program. Congrats to your family and your new sailor on the recent PIR.

I really thought about joining the NC MOMs this Decenmber as well...but couldn't coordinate....Maybe we can meet nearer the beach sometime...anyone intereted?? I will see my sailor this week as my daughters have a field trip where he is !!!!! Y'all have a good one.

Comment by sunshine73 on February 20, 2012 at 6:34pm: Thanks guys. We found out that as long as his insurance USAA is legal in NC, then he is ok. He wants his own insurance and USAA is recognized in every state. He is buying a car and has it set up so that as soon as he signs the loan paperwork it goes into effect.

Comment by Chris, Forever Ray's Proud Mom on February 20, 2012 at 5:49pm: USAA should be able to answer all of your questions as well, is the car registered under his name? is USAA less expensive? He may be able to get USAA insur in NC less expensive...

Comment by sunshine73 on February 20, 2012 at 5:32pm: Hi Ladies,

I have an insurance question. My sailor is stationed in Hawaii and is in the process of buying a car. He is currently on our NC insurance and has an NC drivers license. He is required to have insurance there and has USAA already set up. Our insurance company, Nationwide, is telling us that he has to stay on our policy if he still has an NC drivers license. Anyone else go through this? He will be in Hawaii for the next 2-3 years. Is there some kind of military form or something? help!

Comment by sunshine73 on February 17, 2012 at 7:55am: If you are flying in, you might get a better deal flying into Raleigh. It is two and a half hours away but if you are getting a rental car anyway and don't mind driving, you will probably save a quite a bit of money. It is very rural here. New Bern is about 15 minutes from Cherry Point. The time saved might be worth the money though.

Comment by mamawalrus on February 17, 2012 at 3:16am: Sunshine.. well if by chance he does not get leave before he deploys I will fly out to see him before he goes..
