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 CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on August 16, 2011 at 1:27am: I'm stressing now. Son has been told that after he arrives in Japan, it could be a year before he can come home on leave. I was ok and dealt with news fine, but I've had it in my mind since I was supposed to be sleeping and have realized I'm a bit freaked. I've gone 3 months without seeing him, this is a lot longer. I'm happy for him though for getting to experience the world.

What makes it harder is my mom is talking about getting her passport and going to see him and isn't thinking at all about how he's MY son and I don't have the funds to make that sort of trip. I honestly think she thinks he's HER son. She has always forgotten that there are four other grandsons here she could also dote on. She would NEVER act like this with them. Saddens me for my other boys. They see it too.

Comment by JLmom(Lisa) on August 15, 2011 at 5:22pm: CorysNavyMom, my son also leaves for Japan in Sept, he is excited. He wants to "get this show on the raod". I could use a little more time, but I am happy he is doing what "he" wants in life. Good luck to your son and you also :)

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on August 15, 2011 at 4:14pm: Just booked my trip to go see my hubby for Labor Day!!!! I'm leaving Ryver at home with my family for this trip - I can't wait to spend some time with my husband! :o)

Comment by clarkedu (MM Nuke Prototype) on August 15, 2011 at 3:54pm: Wow, CorysNavyMom, that is so fast! Now he gets to start seeing the world, and that can be very exciting! Wishing him all the best. Keep us updated, as much as is allowed, at least.

The opportunity to visit foreign lands is one of the many reasons my son joined the Navy. He is still on hold waiting for his A School classes to start on August 24th and is looking at 1 1/2 years or more before his training is finished.

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on August 15, 2011 at 6:13am: We just found out my son is headed to Japan in September. He has mixed emotions about that, but is enjoying A school a lot right now. Will see him for a few days before he leaves for Japan.

Comment by Maine Mom on August 13, 2011 at 8:18pm: It is so nice to have frequent communication with our son!!! He is doing very well at A school in Great Lakes. He may be coming home for a visit soon before heading overseas. (I am not sure if I'm allowed to say what country on here.) We are hoping to have him home for a few days atleast!!

Comment by alexh_sailor on August 13, 2011 at 1:04pm: Hi, my son is in Groton,CT at A school. He was in ship 11, div 244. Does anyone know if it is too late to the div t shirts. My son did not order enough.
