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 Amanda/Colins mom, MM PT 1204 GC on July 7, 2011 at 6:01am: he said that there are 15 other SR's there also heading to the NUKE Program, hoping to room with some he has met, once they get to Charleston.

Comment by lisarobin on July 7, 2011 at 6:00am: Good, I'm looking forward to it. Well gotta go get ready for work. Talk to you later

:.)

Comment by Amanda/Colins mom, MM PT 1204 GC on July 7, 2011 at 5:59am: will be there with bells on :)

Comment by lisarobin on July 7, 2011 at 5:56am: Good that he is over the infection and hopefully immune for the rest of the time! Yes 29 days, it will be here before we know it! Hope to see you at the meet and greet.

Comment by Amanda/Colins mom, MM PT 1204 GC on July 7, 2011 at 5:54am: yes Lisa its such a great relief to hear all is going well, getting over a nasty sinus infection, but very upbeat! Lost his voice for a few days :) He also said time is going quickly, push/rush DIV...29 days and counting!

Comment by lisarobin on July 7, 2011 at 5:49am: Good Morning Amanda! Good for you! Sounds like everything is going well for him. That is wonderful. Makes time there go quickly!

Comment by lisarobin on July 7, 2011 at 5:47am: Thank you CorysNavyMom! We have to keep telling ourselves they are okay. On the bright side, I am hoping we all get a letter by today or tomorrow, so maybe we can read how they are doing. Hopefully your son is feeling better and is in better spirits. :.)

Comment by Amanda/Colins mom, MM PT 1204 GC on July 7, 2011 at 5:46am: got my 1st real call last nite, it was great to hear his voice! My son sounded great and in good spirits. Actually enjoying BC and has made alot of good friends.

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 6, 2011 at 11:16pm: lisarobin...hang in there! He's ok! They would call if he got put in the med unit or was delayed...he must of been on watch. There is always someone on watch when they make those phone calls...but i can only imagine how you feel because I would feel the exact same!!!

Im struggling because I know Cory wasnt happy when I talked to him last Weds. Now to not have heard from him again I just need to have him tell me by phone or by letter that he's doing better! So hard just not knowing.

HUGS

Comment by denise5459 (ship 09 div 247) on July 6, 2011 at 10:25pm: Ochaos that was beautifully said! I did receive my call from my son and am very thankful for any contact I get with him. But I know that I will not always be that lucky. This site really helps with the times that you do not receive contact. Someone is always here to share their experiences joyous or otherwise. We are always here for each other. Thanks everyone! And have a great evening!
