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 britefuture on August 21, 2013 at 8:24am: Betsyleebig- Your post is heart wrenching. Prayers, love and lots of hugs to you and your son.

Comment by 1proudmama/EM/USSLincoln/CVN72 on August 21, 2013 at 7:55am: Janet - how exciting and proud you must be for your son. He must be doing very well to get noticed like that.

Betsyleebig - So sorry to hear what you are going thru right now. HUGS to you and your boy, the nuke program is very hard and stressfull. He is a smart boy he will figure out what to do; just give him love and space for now.

Comment by Betsyleebig on August 21, 2013 at 7:25am: Son called last night and he is in Utah since severing ties with the navy last Thrusday. Some of my proudest moments have been during his time with the navy and I will miss this experience but it is his life and he needs to lead it. I want to thank all for their support the past 2 years and wish everyone the best in the future.

Comment by britefuture on August 20, 2013 at 8:37pm: Yay Baltimore/East Coast families. I knew we had to have some here.

Janet- That's exciting for your son ( and 9 other Sailors). Congrats to them and to you. I'm sure you felt an extra sense of pride when you got that news.

I also read about the Pig Roast. That's interesting! It's great to read that our Sailors are being creative with their time off. Not just sitting in their rooms playing video games.

I spoke to my son yesterday. He passed his driving test, yay. That's one more stress taken off of him (and me, shhh). He also went back to medical and finally, got a clean bill-of-health. Stress # 2 off. He said that PS starts next week. I haven't heard anyone, here, mention it. So, now that he can drive his new car without one of his "Buddies", he said that he was gonna take some relaxing day trips, by himself. To clear his mind and prepare himself for the next chapter.

Comment by Janet (Grad Hold in BS) on August 20, 2013 at 6:37pm: My son called today to tell me that he was selected along with nine other sailors from his class to have lunch with the Commander in Chief and the Captain in Goose Creek. For a moment I thought he was having lunch with THE Commander in Chief, aka The President, but it was not THAT Commander in Chief. He was very excited about it and said he enjoyed his lunch with the VIPs.

Comment by NonnaB on August 20, 2013 at 2:05am: AmyS - my son is an ELT and went directly from prototype to ELT school. He got time off when he finished ELT. I don't know if this is how it always works and if my son finished proto just when ELTs were classing up.

Comment by NonnaB on August 20, 2013 at 2:00am: britefuture - I am originally from Baltimore and moved to Richmond before my navy son was born. He is currently stationed in Norfolk. Most of my family still live in the Baltimore area.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on August 19, 2013 at 7:13pm: Hey pietschie - I asked my son yesterday about the pig roast - he said it wasn't his class that did it, but he had heard another class was doing it and he thought he heard it turned out ok.....

Comment by pietschie on August 19, 2013 at 10:39am: hope everybody had a great weekend!! anybody know how the pig roast went ?? i forgot to ask my son,lol

Comment by Cybermom on August 19, 2013 at 10:37am: 1proudmama, never been to Action Park but I have gone to Mountain creek, love that place.

The Jets were horrible to Tebow, they only got him to enhance the team's profile in the area dominated by the Giants.
