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 Mom-to sailor-Alli_Div950-10/29 on November 4, 2010 at 10:48pm: Sassafras - I did post my comments... great idea!

Comment by Twin Sailors Mom on November 4, 2010 at 9:01pm: Finally heard from the girls, they are good. One went to medical and is starting to feel better finally. They are trying to figure everything out, they didn't realize that they were going to have to buy a lot of things for their room: like food, toiletries, bedding etc. They made breakfast this morning but forgot they had no silverware! I guess they'll learn!

Comment by AirCrewMom (SailorMOM)Div 349 on November 4, 2010 at 8:31pm: Got so use to the music and looked forward to it each night now it is gone...
Glad to see everyone is back home or close to home as the case might be for some....my sailor doing fine from what I can tell, he is in high spirit so far no complaint...hope everyone's sailors are doing fine too....

Comment by ProudMomS of a SAILOR! 10/29/10 on November 4, 2010 at 8:14pm: AWWWW, I just noticed that there is no music anymore! why?

Comment by Sassafras Proud Mom of a Sailor on November 4, 2010 at 8:13pm: Hello everyone... good to see that all is going so well. Our family had a wonderful time with our Sailor, who is now an ICFR (whatever that means) in A-school at the Training Support Center there in Great Lakes, IL

When I asked him how things were going, if he was satisfied and how he felt about it all, he said everything was fine, that he was very happy with how things are going and that it simply feels like 'life'...

We also talked about some of the inconveniences we experienced during graduation weekend and in the hopes of enabling other familes to learn in advance what we came to understand after the fact, I have posted a new topic to the forum called PIR DEBRIEFING. It is at http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/pir-debriefing and I hope you will post your own comments on this topic there. (((hugs)) to all ~~~

Comment by pebbles0613 on November 3, 2010 at 11:11pm: I have to say it is an amazing feeling to log onto Facebook and see a comment from my daughter. This is so much easier than BC in the fact that there is more contact with my sailor.
