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 3B'smom on May 2, 2018 at 10:11pm: Chipmunk - Big Kid had his teeth cleaned during T-track. I think he received a call one day saying show up such-and-such day time for your appointment. I don't know about the once a year part.

Comment by Chipmunk on May 2, 2018 at 9:52pm: Anybody know when or how the sailors at GC go about getting their teeth cleaned? This mom is getting rather bothered because my son is now about to miss two dental cleanings and check ups from the schedule I had our family on and so far he hasn't heard anything about getting his teeth cleaned. He checked around Nov/ Dec and was told they would do it later. I can't remember if it was during T-track or Power School. He also said they only get their teeth checked once a year! I am beginning to think I should have told our dentist to just have cleaned his teeth in Dec and I would have paid out of pocket for it, when he was home. Thanks for any insight from anyone.

Comment by Chipmunk on May 2, 2018 at 9:44pm: PattiP - I understand how frustrating all of this can be. And I would be saying the same thing to my son - time to take it to the Top!!!!

Comment by Buzzbeck on May 2, 2018 at 8:39pm: ProudOfK and Sgtsixpack, tell your sailors congrats. And ProudOfK, way to go on moving right before your trip. Sounds exhausting!

B'sNuke: I think all real estate in the west is in a feeding frenzy right now.

PattiP, what a situation. Somebody needs to wake up.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 2, 2018 at 10:59am: Welcome to our newest member ~ Ginny4!

Please be sure to read the ***NEW MEMBERS*** section above and of course, feel free to ask any questions you may have!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 2, 2018 at 10:57am: Hi all - Happy Wednesday!

ProudOfK - BZ to your son! So glad you got everything done with the house and can enjoy Power School grad! Have fun :-D

My mom's house went on the market over the weekend and she already got an offer yesterday for $20k over asking price! There's some other interested parties so they've asked her to wait one week so everyone can see the house and then she can accept an offer. I'm crossing my fingers by this time next week she'll be in escrow - and then I don't have to worry about going on my vacation lol!

Sgtsixpack - be sure to get in touch with ProudOfK so you can get some pictures - I knew someone would come through for you! Way to go nuke moms!!!

NancyJo - How is everyone doing on your end?

PattiP - any news on the DD214?

Rebecca J - we've never been to Sundance before - we normally go to Mammoth in the summer but I hear this is very similar. Looking forward to it ~ I really need a vacation!

Comment by Chipmunk on May 2, 2018 at 10:19am: I just wanted to encourage any of our new or not so new members to feel free to ask questions here in the comment section. If someone doesn't know the answer, there will be someone else who does, or we will figure it out together.

Welcome Aboard to all of our new members!!

Comment by Rebecca J on May 2, 2018 at 10:01am: ProudOfK....congratulations! Have so much fun. Power school graduation is amazing! One of the proudest days of my life!

Comment by Chipmunk on May 2, 2018 at 7:57am: ProudOfK - So glad to hear that you have the move and house sale all behind you. Enjoy time with your son.

Congratulations to all the Power School graduates!!

Comment by ProudOfK on May 2, 2018 at 12:36am: Sgtsixpack - I sent you a pm but you will need to accept my friend request to get it. I am going to Power School grad this Friday.

My young man passed his comp test and Power School class with flying colors. He is then bound for New York. Thanks momterp - hope we see your son this weekend.

And since we fly out tomorrow I better start thinking about packing. I think I'll sleep and then pack. Nothing like the last minute but that's what happens when you just finish moving 2 days before. But now we can truly enjoy our time with our son as we're completely out of our old house and have signed all the papers on the sale.
