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 Corina on November 25, 2012 at 10:05pm: Just found out my daughter will also be going to C school early next year. Very pleased mama here.

Comment by Mtar B (Ship10/Div266)PIR8/19 on November 25, 2012 at 3:39pm: Unbelievable time flies... Im sorry Ive not posted. My son just graduated and is in school studying while on Grad Hold at Charleston. He is a Nuke.... Apparently all but two people are being sent to NY. Im praying he isnt one of them but prayer may be the only thing holding him here now. He signed on for more time and to come back as an instructor. Ive lost track of what level he has made he ranked up several times and Ive truly lost track without hunting through a stack of papers and notes to find it. Hope it doesnt make me a bad Navy Mother. Anyone else at Goose Creek,Sc?

Comment by BonnieRN on November 25, 2012 at 12:21am: Hi all. My daughter made petty officer 3rd class too. So proud. She is on the USS Theodore Roosevelt and seems pretty happy. She met someone in
"A" School and sounds like it is serious ! I have turned her room into a spare room type thing but it's still all her old furniture...just not all her clutter ! I had her permission. I mean realistically we both know she won't be living there again. But she will be using it when she comes home on leave etc.

Comment by Corina on November 24, 2012 at 10:33pm: Hi Cheryl, congratulations on your Katrina's promotion. My daughter also made Petty Officer 3rd Class. It seems like only yesterday they left and here we are a year and half down.

Comment by Cheryl on November 24, 2012 at 10:22pm: Congratulations to Petty Officer 3rd Class Katrina Torrez! Less than 1 1/2 years from E1 to E4. Way to go!

Comment by Cheryl on October 7, 2012 at 3:27pm: My daughter is on the USS George Washington stationed in Japan. They are deployed right now, but just got to Malaysia for a port call. She loves it and is enjoying life overseas. It's still hard for me, but got worse a few weeks ago when my other kid joined the Air force. He's in Texas for basic right now. Here we go again! Hope all your sailors are doing well, staying safe, have fair winds and following seas!

Comment by JuJu Ship 10 DIV 266 on August 19, 2012 at 3:04pm: Hi Everyone! can you all believe graduation has already been a year ago? I am sorry I haven't checked in for awhile....My son is in Virginia Beach,anyone else? I wish I could say it has gotten easier missing my son, but it hasn't. I just ordered more sailor pics of him and was so bummed they had sold out on the DVD of the graduation...How is everyone else doing? I would love to hear! Have a great day!

Comment by kathy on June 29, 2012 at 9:46pm: Well ladies its been a year, how are all of you and where are your babies? How are they liking it? Are yall dealing with them being gone any better I would love to hear all about it!,

Comment by BtownSandy on March 3, 2012 at 7:01pm: I changed my sailor's room into my son's mini-apartment. My extra bedroom is the room where I moved her bed into and use for guests. Her old room was the biggest one besides the master bedroom and when my son moved home from college we wanted to give him his own space so we used her room to house his futon/couch, coffee table, TV and tv stand, computer and desk. There is a bed in there as well, so we still have extra space. He actually sleeps in there instead of his "bedroom" which he uses as a closet right now.
