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 momplus2 on October 8, 2012 at 2:44pm: Thank you Jodi-almuni Ship 4 Div 818. How do I get to the bootcamp moms site to connect with her? This will help a great deal. Thank you so much!

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on October 7, 2012 at 9:30pm: momplus2-there is a mom on bootcamp moms site whose son is leaving for Japan also. You may want to contact her. I think her name was dawn64, maybe the two of you can get together and share ideas.

Comment by momplus2 on October 4, 2012 at 4:10pm: Hello

Hope all are doing well. My son has orders to be in Japan by the beginning of November. I am wondering if there is a support group or other moms that have a son or daughter going to Japan? I would like to know if anyone can offer any tips, suggestions or anything else to know before my son leaves for Japan...Thank you:)

Comment by SRB's Mom on September 8, 2012 at 5:57pm: GANukeMom, my son is EM from 275/PIR 8/31. I sent you a friend request.

Comment by GANukeMom(EM mom) on September 7, 2012 at 10:28pm: My Sailor is now an EM at Charleston, SC. He says they will class up next week. He is rooming with another EM that was from Div 275. If he belongs to you, please let me know.

Thanks.
