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."

OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is in your username you will need to change your username. If yours is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by lisafriess (Norfolk Sub) on October 1, 2012 at 10:04pm: I really just want to check in and say a huge THANK YOU to MamaLamaDingDong (and others) for making Sarge's Meet & Greet a very special night. Now that I am back home and settled into life again, I see my children coloring the cute pages and still eating the candies from the red baggies, and it gives me such a feeling of gratefulness to have been part of such a wonderful gathering with such lovely families!

Comment by Momof2sailors on October 1, 2012 at 8:42am: Good Morning everyone! Prayers that we all have a good week!

Comment by FresnoNavyMom (Nuke School) on September 30, 2012 at 10:44pm: It is a lot of fun. I just started last year, and I loved it so much I decided to do it from now on.

(And my earlier post should say "become" not "because")

Comment by FresnoNavyMom (Nuke School) on September 30, 2012 at 9:05pm: I'd love to be a baby cuddler like Always a Mom wrote about, but I have problems with my immune system so I get sick a lot. :( I'm afraid to get near healthy babies for fear of I may have something to pass on to them.. much less those in the NICU. During Christmas season though, I because Mrs. Claus and do things with kids who are a little older. I wish my husband would decide to be Santa, but he's a bit too fit and young-looking for the part. So, I go solo.

Comment by daubersmom on September 30, 2012 at 1:29pm: thats a good idea Mikes Mom, not sure if we have a Joannes store but will check the community college...

Comment by Mike's Mom (S-PACT/Yokosuka,JP) on September 30, 2012 at 11:27am: Daubersmom-try a few classes at a Joannes store or perhaps through local community college community education classes.

Comment by daubersmom on September 30, 2012 at 10:21am: So, decided its time for a change.. went and got my hair colored for fall, cut off into a short bob, and I am going to buy a sewing machine.. now just need to find someone to show me how to use it... LOL think I would like to learn how to make quilts, and those cute purses I keep seeing...

Comment by MamaB=Ship 14, Div 290 on September 30, 2012 at 2:41am: Always a mom - My daughter is going to San Diego as well. She is assigned to a cruiser. Can't remember the name. What is S-pact?

Comment by FresnoNavyMom (Nuke School) on September 29, 2012 at 1:38pm: Just got to skype with my son! We've only talked twice since he went to A-school, so it was a real treat for us.
