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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK ME

Comment by Leese/K's OS Mom on April 28, 2012 at 7:40pm: NavymomfromCT: My Son's Navy Buddy just left for Japan last week also,

he was Stationed in Hawaii for the past 4 years.

He came here and spent a week with us before heading over sea's.

And Now we have a new place to visit lol

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 23, 2012 at 12:54pm: oh my goodness Navymomfromct, Japan. I understand the excitement / nervousness....

Proudmom.... have been following your visit on FB SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU

My sailor is close to finishing A school.. getting orders soon.. coming home on mothersday...sooo happy

Comment by navymomfromCT (Ship 11, Div.037) on April 18, 2012 at 8:47am: And he said he would be there for three years......will he get time to come home during that three years???

Comment by navymomfromCT (Ship 11, Div.037) on April 18, 2012 at 8:45am: Hi guys.....my sailor picked overseas and will be going to Japan in about a month...hopefully he will be able to come home for a bit before he leaves....i'm excited and nervous for him....

Comment by Proud navy mom/Eddie's mom on April 16, 2012 at 11:51pm: We leave on Thursday to go our sailor Hooyah !! We r very fortunate we are able to see him 1 more time before he goes to Japan in May and it's his 20th birthday on Saturday so it's even better. Hope everyone's doing good .

Comment by NorfolkNavyWife on April 15, 2012 at 11:49pm: My husbands bunk mate from bootcamp is leaving Pensacola tomorrow. This is the first taste of separation from a good military friend. I have to say, I'm super sad! Obviously, we knew they wouldn't be close forever, but still! His friend is heading home, then heading for his first duty station (Virginia). Now Tom hopes that we get sent to Virginia too so they can be close again.

It's amazing to see how close their friendship is. I love hearing them talk about basic and school and everything. They've been together for the last five months, and just don't know what to do without each other now! Just melts my heart!

Comment by jacqueline-rn on April 14, 2012 at 9:01pm: Okay. So he called Thursday and said he has "comped ATT". (That means completed. He really enjoys speaking 'navy' so I have to ask him "what does that mean?" all the time. I think it's payback for all the times I've spoken 'nurse'.) He said INDOC for A school was going to be the next day. He sounded really on his game again.... Focused and fired up! I'm excited for him.

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 8, 2012 at 4:58pm: yea he told me MANDO is mandatory study hall... he got a 92 on an exam and didn't have to go. oh he just texted.... going to the Beach ... then texted me a pic of the beach UGH... the life... hahahah glad he's loven Navy Life...

Comment by jacqueline-rn on April 6, 2012 at 7:12pm: Mine is having a little trouble maintaining focus as well. He's doing MANDO also. Or, I guess that's what it's called. It just sounds like study hall to me. This part is hard for a lot of them I think. They're young, they're bored. Knowing what can happen in those curcumstances in less supervised college settings (not that I have any personal experience, you understand) I guess I'm glad he's in the Navy!

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 4, 2012 at 2:40pm: gmansmom.... uh oh.. sounds like class is BORING.. it will get better... My sailor is near the top of his class but STILL has as he calls it MANDO (nite study) he is in week 4 and next week i think he starts some hands on stuff.... i told him that is when the fun begins... he supposed to come home on leave in May and go back for OPS school... can't wait to see him.
