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 kai cat on March 23, 2018 at 2:00pm: My son says the shuttle at GC isn't operating anymore. Can anyone update the website page for GC?

Comment by proudNukemom on March 23, 2018 at 2:00pm: I’m just catching up! Would luv a girls trip! And I’m in Tennessee finishing building our house hopefully in summer. Would luvv navy mom visitors going thru Knoxville, Tn!

Comment by proudNukemom on March 23, 2018 at 1:54pm: Anyone wanting to be on nuke mom FB page can private message me and I’ll get you on

Comment by Chipmunk on March 23, 2018 at 12:50pm: I just checked the tracking on my USPS priority pkg to my son and it was delivered at 10:39 AM Goose Creek, just as it said it would be. I sent tracking # and expected date to my son and also just texted him that it was there so he could check on it. He has said that sometimes it takes them a day to sort the mail.

momc - I don't know anything about deployment yet, but when my son was INDOC at GC he gave me the name and numbers of the ombudsman, I believe their info is online as well for NNPTC. You might check with your son and see if he has been given that information, and contact them directly.

Comment by momc on March 23, 2018 at 11:26am: I have a question regarding ombudsman contacts. My son will be leaving on a deployment soon, it will be his first. He has mentioned to me that he has made me the contact person for the ombudsman. I have yet to receive any information from her. It concerns me because my son leaves sometime next month and it would be nice to have any information she can give me. Any suggestions as to whether I can find out who she is, and how I can contact her?

Thank you for any information you can share with me. I am doing my best to be patient.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on March 23, 2018 at 10:53am: momterp - ugh - so disappointing that your son hasn't been able to get his mail :( And especially since it's birthday stuff. Happy Belated Birthday to him!

Things must have really changed there lately. When my son was there he never had a problem getting packages - and I always sent the USPS "if it fits, it ships" boxes - I guess we were lucky.

Another reason to join the FB group since there is a mom in GC that personally delivers packages AND takes a picture for you!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on March 23, 2018 at 10:34am: Hi all - Happy RED shirt Friday! I've got my red on :)

For anyone who would like to join the Nuke Moms FaceBook group please send me a message on here. (You will have to friend me first if we aren't already friends.) Keep in mind that the FB group is for MOMS only and your sailor must have already had PIR.

The Hammer - woohoo PIR! I'm sure you're having a wonderful time!

Comment by Chipmunk on March 23, 2018 at 9:43am: Hammer - Soooo glad you are at PIR today!!! Enjoy the day and time with your sailor!! Today you can wave from the stands instead of from outside RTC!!
