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 iwagot on October 17, 2011 at 5:57pm: We are liking A school better so far, though she hasn't classed up yet. She was able to go to the beach and the mall this weekend, so I guess things aren't too bad.

Comment by heard t on October 16, 2011 at 5:59pm: has anyone heard anything about htbe64 sons appeal ?

Comment by milomom 946/HM A-School on October 13, 2011 at 9:37pm: Hi all. Sounds like we're all adjusting. I'm trying not to be the nosey mom, but its hard. We did get to chat last night. Still hasn't started classes, but going to phase 2 this weekend. I think that means wearing and civies and being off the base later.

We're on the eve of another graduation... God bless our sailors.

Comment by Horselover SHIP 11 DIV 322 on October 12, 2011 at 5:13pm: Hi everyone, havent been on here for a while. Good to see some of you still checking in.

Has been nice to have more contact with my son but after PIR and so long without seeing him, it was hard all over again!! I found myself crying again and repeating everything that I felt when he left for BC. But like everything else, things get better with time.

He is adjusting in A school now, but it was hard for him and then of course it is hard on the Mom. ughhhh.

Hope your sailors are all doing well! And all of you.

Yes Christa, some days are better than others.

Comment by jrbrown on October 11, 2011 at 10:53am: My sailor is enjoying Pensacola. Still waiting for additional students before they can start A-School. In the meantime, she is pulling Duty (all shifts). Should be phasing up in a few days; then she can wear civilians clothes. Yea! Have a wonderful day!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 11, 2011 at 4:39am: Will be leaving this group now...have a great future with your Sailors! Glad to see you all connecting! Thank You!

Comment by 1stlove (02/946) on October 10, 2011 at 10:06pm: Giselle new pics or from our PIR yes I saw the ones from our PIR what a blessing huh. Yes it sure is nice to talk to our sailors. luv u all still praying

Comment by WestonsMom (FL A School) on October 10, 2011 at 8:14pm: thanks christa!

Comment by Christa (Proud Navy Mom) on October 10, 2011 at 8:07pm: aggiemom, it is so nice to hear from my son on a more frequent basis. I still miss him terribly and some days are better than others. But I'm continuing to take this journey one day at a time.

Comment by Christa (Proud Navy Mom) on October 10, 2011 at 8:03pm: Hey, WestonsMom! I think you can buy the electric candles that people use in their windows at Christmastime and just buy a blue bulb for it. I believe some stores are beginning to put out some of their Christmas items. So hopefully it won't be too hard to find one. Hope this helps!
