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 Mommabee2 on May 5, 2011 at 5:46pm: mynavyguy--My husband and I can't go to our sons graduation, cause our youngest son is graduating from HS the night before, but we did just book tickets for my mom and step father to fly out to see his graduation--we flew them into Milwaukee cause it seemed to be a lot cheaper--and basically the same amount of drive to the base.

Comment by Mommabee2 on May 5, 2011 at 5:44pm: Hope it's not my kid who can't get his bed made right that is screwing it up for the rest!!! That would be his luck!

Comment by mynavyguy on May 5, 2011 at 5:42pm: I am so overwhealmed trying to get travel plans together... augh

Comment by Linda on May 5, 2011 at 5:40pm: Well no mail for me either...maybe tomorrow

Comment by RWG (ship 09, div. 206) on May 5, 2011 at 2:12pm: diannep, when they are at sea can they email family for some type of communication?

Comment by MamaCindy (MMW TM) on May 5, 2011 at 1:24pm: 09 205 - no mail for me yet either. Hoping soon. I seem to be more obsessed with checking in to see what you NavyMoms have heard or what you're feeling. Helps me get through until we hear!

Comment by diannep on May 5, 2011 at 12:50pm: RWG: Sometimes they don't get to call back...that is the fear. If there are alot of SRs waiting to make calls, then they may not get a 2nd chance. I was so glad when BC was finally over for my son and I wasn't so glued to my phone! My son is on a dry docked ship now so he is "reachable" by phone, but I guess when the sailors are deployed, the ladies go back into that mode, never knowing when a call could come in if they are in port, etc.

Comment by RWG (ship 09, div. 206) on May 5, 2011 at 12:28pm: I cant relate to the bra thing ladies. But it is funny how the panic button kicks in when you see the 847 area code. Like we think they are wanting to hang up on the 2nd ring. Im sure the SRs will let it ring until the voice mail comes on. After looking at my incoming calls I noticed that my son called 8 minutes before the call that I answered. Its good to know he got a second try when I didnt here the first call.

Comment by Sunnyb on May 5, 2011 at 11:22am: UGH mailman came and went.. =( come on SR's get those beds made right! The nice thing about us moms hanging out here together is, we know that it's just not "our" SR that we are not hearing from. That is helpful..! We can be crazy moms together. Go KC'smom.. we are right behind you in the crazy zone!

Comment by paulsgirlNY on May 5, 2011 at 10:37am: I checked my mail earlier too! The anticipation of getting a letter is driving me nuts! I can't wait to hear from my SR!
