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 joe-mom on June 10, 2024 at 12:37pm: DsMom - That's great news! I'm so happy to hear your son is improving and that he may be on a ship soon. Hope he gets the sub he's hoping for. I know you'll love having him home. My son is home now for a couple of weeks so we're soaking up the time with him as much as possible. I'm dreading the day he leaves, but it's been wonderful.

Chipmunk - Enjoy your "grandma" time with Baby P!

Comment by Chipmunk on June 10, 2024 at 11:10am: DsMom2020- That is wonderful news!! Both on your son's health progress and the upcoming, much needed, family time!

Comment by DsMom2020 on June 10, 2024 at 9:56am: Beyond excited. Son will arrive soon for his cousins wedding. Staying almost two weeks. Family and friends coming from “the four corners”. Will be first time everyone (except his cousin and I who went to see him) has seen him since his horrible accident in February. He is feeling so much better. Stamina improving (when he would get brain fatigue his headache would worsen and his speech would slow down). Originally could only work 2-3 hours. Is up to 6-8 hour shifts with minimal brain fatigue - but he is still reluctant to drive. Hoping he can get used to driving again while he is home. He thinks he’ll be “fit for duty soon”. His time as a JSI will be up in the next couple months and the master chief from the sub he was assigned to (orders were cancelled due to accident) called him up a couple weeks ago and said he is still looking forward to having him. Made my son feel really good. He hopes to get reassigned to that sub.

Chipmunk - glad to hear you are getting lots of grandma duty!!

Dammit Allie - Welcome! I hope your sailor enjoys the pipeline (Nuke School). My son loved it and excelled (after basically flunking out of pre med college due to lack of effort). I was so scared he’d pull the same thing with the Navy and end up in big trouble! It was hard but he was up for the challenge. I guess he just needed the proper motivation. He made several great friends and they pushed each other all the way through - seeing who could get the highest score and celebrating each other’s accomplishments when the other person did better. His one buddy just got accepted to officer school after almost 2 years in the fleet.

B’sNukeMom - really cute photo of the “grand children” waiting for their dad to get home!

Comment by Chipmunk on June 10, 2024 at 9:09am: Good Morning everyone!! I am still on Grandma duty with Baby Precious. My DIL's work schedule is all flip flop and I am trying to help my son get some extra rest when he can, while my daughter and I are visiting them.

B'sNukeMom - the picture of your husband is wonderful. I know my husband was sad to not be able to come see his granddaughter.

Allie - Welcome Aboard!!

Comment by MomofJoseph on June 7, 2024 at 4:01pm: Welcome, Allie! I hope your daughter's time at RTC is uneventful and she can begin her Nuke School asap! :-)

(My son went to Charleston 2.5 years ago, and is now in the fleet.

Comment by Dammit_Allie on June 7, 2024 at 3:20pm: Thank ya'll very much! My Recruit just got to RTC and is looking forward to getting to Charleston as soon as she can!
