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."

So let's start with the Navy Bootcamp Vocab:

mks, the same here. My son's not sure either exactly what he'll be doing. Hopefully we'll learn soon. I have also received only one phone call. Maybe today? Would be nice. I did look into "Sub Moms" and joined that group a while back although I haven't gotten involved yet. I really wish my son could tell me how soon they'll leave for Groton too. Will it be right away or will we have the weekend with him. I feel so "in the dark". Good luck and I'll let you know if I hear anything.

imajagtoo: That's three of us now. My son said the same thing about the two years of training. Actually, I don't mind that it will be a while before they get in those subs. Just gives us more time to be able to communicate with them.

Comment by imajagtoo.ship09div207 on June 5, 2011 at 12:48pm: mks, my son is also going to sub school in Groton!!! he says he expects it'll be another two years of training before he gets on a sub....

Comment by tysmom on June 5, 2011 at 12:01pm: My son in is some kind if computer stuff and he will not be able to tell his nosy mom what is going on. I was close to my cousin.I have relatives in Seabrook and Dickinson.

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 5, 2011 at 11:54am: We like it here, tysmom. Have been here for over 20 years. SJ is still going strong. Lots of new additions to the college. I am so sorry about your cousin's passing.

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 5, 2011 at 11:52am: mks, it's so great to hear your son will also be there! My son will be in fire control electronics.

Comment by tysmom on June 5, 2011 at 11:49am: I had a cousin who lived in Deer Park...I have been there a lot lived there one summer...took a class at San J...long time ago......my cousin passed away of lung cancer several years ago.
