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 Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on July 9, 2012 at 1:40pm: all is well here.... still not home for leave yet either.... my sailor is inbetween A school and OPS school. supposed to get leave in sept.. Kev... how did he like SERE school .. worked with several sailors that had been thru it and it was pretty intense...

Comment by kev323 on July 9, 2012 at 1:29pm: Hello Everyone! How are your Sailors doing? My Sailor just got out of SERE school last week, and reported to Norfolk to his Fleet Replacement Squadron. We were hoping he would get some leave before he starts AWSTS school but it looking like thats not going to happen. Last time we saw him was for a few hours after PIR. Hope all is well with everyone.

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on June 13, 2012 at 8:49pm: Gmansmom.... YAY .... trying to line it up for next year.. i kno seems like forever.

Comment by Proud navy mom/Eddie's mom on June 12, 2012 at 4:16pm: gmansmom- good to hear from you, glad you were able to see your sailor(alittle time is better than no time lol) hopefully his C school will be in SD that way you could see him more often. Have a good day :-)

Comment by Navymomsquared on June 12, 2012 at 4:05pm: Hey all!!! I had a hard time logging in & it wanted me to create new sign in so I waited. Great to read all the posts & catch up. I miss our daily fever of being here talking to each other. I know I am happier that g gets to call whenever. He comped ATT in April but not with his group. He was on hold for a week then started A school. Still in GL. He paid to come home over memorial weekend 11pm Fri nite to Mon am 930. It was awesome!!! I think that hug was bigger than the one I got at PIR!! He will graduate sometimes in Aug then go on to C school in Virginia or San Diego.
Barbydahllz-if you ever come to see drew in SD let me know & I will make the trip to see you!!

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on June 1, 2012 at 12:48pm: Proud mom..... His A school is there so he's been there since PIR...hes coming home in 4 weeks for leave then back to SD for OPS school, reports to his command on oct 20th. i think his ship came off deployment recently, so he won't go out til next year some time

Comment by Proud navy mom/Eddie's mom on June 1, 2012 at 10:34am: Yay Barby....... I wish mine was in San Diego. But atleast he is calling us now, so its not to bad. Mine said his squadron is not attached to a carrier so he will not have to serve on one, just the smaller boats like your son's. I guess none are small lol.When does he get to San diego ?
