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 CO-TwinSalorsMom on March 12, 2015 at 12:33am: So that means our boys are firends Sunrise. Fun.
Is yours graduating yet? Does he know where he is going? I may acctually be able to see both my sailors at one time. The other has pre deployment leave. this will be his second deployment

Comment by britefuture on March 11, 2015 at 9:59pm: Hi everyone!

William- Sorry that you don't feel well. Get better soon, friend.

Thank you for the info. and the article on the TR. My son is a little happier hearing about the deployment and the change of home port. His words, "at least it's my second choice port". Of course then his buddy got his orders and he got the sub that they both really wanted. And his room mates are being "detached" this Friday and my son isn't. So now he said that he's homeless as of Friday. Unless he finds another place in two days. Ugh! These procrastinating kids of ours. Didn't we just have a conversation about this????????

Comment by Sunrise918 on March 11, 2015 at 9:09pm: CO Twin- I am fairly new to this site and was thrilled to see the picture you posted of the 4 boys snowboarding. My son is the 3rd one!! Thanks so much for posting it! My son is not the best communicator so I don't hear much about what he does.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on March 11, 2015 at 7:20pm: William - sorry to hear you're not feeling well......I hope you are feeling better soon!

Comment by William in Nashua on March 11, 2015 at 5:53pm: Congratulations to everyone who passed. I have been sick with the worst cold/flu ever for the past 4 days so not keeping up.

Comment by 1proudmama/EM/USSLincoln/CVN72 on March 11, 2015 at 4:58pm: For the ones graduating soon and awaiting ship assignments, With all these aircraft carrier swaps it is going to be a little confusing at first. I have them all written down and which ones are going where, so when he calls with ship assignment I'll have a quick reference. He's hoping for Norfolk so he will be close to home, and lies where they deploy too better, but San Diego would be a nice consolation home port too.

Comment by MichianaMom on March 11, 2015 at 3:47pm: I've heard a lot about the hull-swap - the "Three Presidents". Your Sailors are lucky to be involved in such an historic event!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on March 11, 2015 at 11:02am: Here you go britefuture - the TR has sailed!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on March 11, 2015 at 10:56am: Hi all - Happy Wednesday!

Welcome Beachmom! Make sure you read the pages to the right - under the member profiles. Tons of good info there! And if you don't find what you are looking for, feel free to ask. Hopefully you have joined the Boot Camp group & your DEP leaving in November group. Both will help you prepare.

britefuture - well sorry he didn't get subs...hopefully he'll be happy on the TR. Make sure you join the Roosevelt group on here....it's been very active lately as they prepare to sail. Got delayed because of some moss in the river (all public knowledge). They are hoping for today....Does your son still get his 30 day leave? I wonder then if they will fly him out to meet the ship....

1proudmama - I can relate on the delays for S8G! My son was in BS for 13 months LOL.....just tell him to enjoy his time there while he can ;-) (And make sure to get to the Iron Roost for breakfast!!)

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on March 11, 2015 at 9:53am: I saw that too, scrappyjax. I didn't know it was today but I knew it was soon. Congrats, britefuture! My son is on the Carl Vinson, CVN70, based in San Diego. SD is a great location, very military friendly. The CVN70 will be returning from deployment to the Persian Gulf in a few months and I wondered if CVN71 was replacing them but no clue if that is true. OPSEC being what it is, I was surprised by the openness of CVN70's location. A couple of news groups did pieces on them while they were there, the French navy came and trained with them, lots of press. But it was nice hearing stuff about my son's ship and I hope the same is true of the CVN71.
