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 Julieforjoey on October 14, 2013 at 1:38pm: My son is in that group also! He said he'll be in INDOC for two more weeks.

Comment by momtom1932 on October 14, 2013 at 1:33pm: Hi ladyhowl. my son arrived the same day, he told me that his class was too big and they went alphabetically so the last 26 sailors had to wait for the next group to help fill up the class and they will actually begin classes 2 weeks from today

Comment by ladyhowl on October 14, 2013 at 1:28pm: My son arrived at GC on 10/5 but said they didn't have enough people to fill a class. So, he's been working (cleaning) around the school this last week. What does that mean that there's not enough to fill a class?

I am missing my kids so much today. I'm in Oregon and he's all the way across the Nation! Thank goodness for Skype, even tho it makes me cry when we hang up.

Comment by BoyWonderMom on October 14, 2013 at 1:14pm: My sailor gave us a wonderful surprise visit this weekend. He just jumped in the car after A school graduation and came home. I'm grateful we live within reasonable driving distance from GC. I just said good bye again, it's not getting easier, lots of tears. So proud of the honorable young man he has become.

Comment by NF Mom on October 14, 2013 at 12:14pm: A couple years ago it was possible for a Sailor Recruit to obtain a guaranteed job as a Nuke MM when he/she signed his/her Nuke enlistment contract at the recruiter's office / or MEPs ( guaranteed only in the sense that if the sailor passed boot camp and did not break the rules at A-School indoc he/she would would start MM A-School at Goose Creek ).

Any Nuke Sailor Recruit who did not have such a guarantee for Nuke MM in their enlistment contract(s) would be assigned as a Nuke MM, EM or ET at Boot Camp based on their stated preference at Boot Camp, The Needs of the Navy for each specialty, and the evaluation of the Nuke Navy Chiefs stationed at Boot Camp who used personal interviews and test scores to make such decisions.

Not sure if the guaranteed Nuke MM job is still available when they sign a Nuke enlistment contract, or not.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on October 14, 2013 at 10:47am: Had lunch yesterday with a group of Navy Mom's from the Inland Empire group. Even met a new nuke mom whose son is in boot camp!

Comment by Craig on October 14, 2013 at 10:38am: Thank you for the info....

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on October 14, 2013 at 10:38am: Happy Monday All!
