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 Sunnyb on June 21, 2011 at 7:59am: Phew... I'm back.. from a crazy awesome graduation, and a crazy 12 hr. drive! It was great to meet some of you moms face to face. My son kept saying, "mom, do you know everyone?" He said the moms he met said, "Oh I wanted to met your mom in person", with a weird look on his face. He sould be used to me by now..!! I make friends and adopt people in the grocery store!

Congrats on all your new sailors!!! We got to go to church with our new sailor. What a privilege to stand in the balcony and look down, and pray over all those who are still pushing though. I did see a guy on crutches and I prayed for him the whole time. I wanted to go down and see if it was KC's son or sweakers boyfriend, but it was so hard since we didn't know last names, and I needed to behave myself since my son was still trying to follow professional rules... (yes! that was hard for me! I am a floating butterfly :o)

So my new sailor is tucked into Goose Creek ready to start nuke school in 2 weeks.. I guess I"ll be on the nuke mom's site now.. since the chance of him doing more pushups because I'm on here is over.. yikes!

Thanks for everything ladies... it was such a great blessing to walk with you all though all of this.

Comment by Joy125 (FC Mom) on June 21, 2011 at 7:19am: It was so nice last night to call my daughter on her cell phone and talk for as long as we wanted. Such a change from the waiting and wondering. So glad that bootcamp is behind us. It really helped having this site to ask questions, vent, cry, celebrate, and just chat with others in the same predicament! N4M rocks! I know this group has fizzled out and we've all joined new groups; I think it would be great if we all posted our new groups in case we wanted to get in touch with each other.

Comment by Joy125 (FC Mom) on June 20, 2011 at 8:34pm: MAA= Master at Arms "A" school. HM = Hospital Corpsman

Comment by pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on June 20, 2011 at 8:27pm: ok ladies, too much new lingo. what is MAA, SailorMomCarla? what about HM?

Comment by pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on June 20, 2011 at 8:26pm: @mynavyguy--our son is in san antonio, but he has been calling us! HAHAHAHA--that really feels weird, doesn't it? so far, he has not given us an address. i am on the other site though--Sailors in A School for Corpsmen. maybe we can find out something there.

Comment by SailorMomCarla - Ship12Div410 on June 20, 2011 at 5:16pm: @ mynavyguy - my son is there, he started last week, my nephew just got there on Saturday but doesn't start until next week. That is the address I have for both, except that mine is TSC3 not P. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. There is also a group for San Antonio MAA's.

Comment by mynavyguy on June 20, 2011 at 4:36pm: Thank you I will do that :)

Comment by diannep on June 20, 2011 at 3:48pm: mynavyguy: Are you a member of the group "Sailors in A School for Corpsmen"? If not, you may want to post your question there too.
