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 shana-(kaceysmom) on October 22, 2010 at 12:29pm: bless his heart....and so sorry to hear that srm54...!

Comment by srm54 (Ship 9, Div 005) on October 22, 2010 at 12:15pm: I got a very garbled message that my son was being sent home because he has a hearing loss. He went to specialist through meps because of hearing and was cleared but now bc says he has hearing loss. Not sure what is going on but I feel so bad for him. He doesn't seem able to catch a break.

Comment by shana-(kaceysmom) on October 22, 2010 at 12:04pm: my son in bc is my oldest...my other 2 boys are 11 & 4...lol..a big gap in age with them...my sr is my rock and was a very big help with the 2 younger ones.I guess i relied on him to much sometimes,but he didnt seem to mind....after he graduated school , he pratically moved out and started staying with his aunt and 2 cousins...last march the 2 cousins lost their dad,which is my husbands brother.its has been a very hard time , but with my son there they got very attached to him in a 3 months time. so when he left for bc..they all felt lost without him and even now they do. It feels good to know you have a son that you love so much can change others lives and bring joy and happiness into a home that was a lonely place. I feel so blessed to have a son like that !!

Comment by AndreaS61 on October 22, 2010 at 11:28am: Doda - Yes, this is my first experience with the military. My daughter wrote to her sister that she misses her life and that it's sad to think she will never go back to that, but overall she sounds pretty positive. Maybe she's just putting on a happy face for me? She says she knows now that she made the right decision joining the Navy. She seems to be getting through things okay. She's darned determined and would never quit. That's both a blessing and a curse, but it will serve her well in the Navy.

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 22, 2010 at 10:40am: ooooh that is a good one, no really bad one. And I'm sure it will be interesting for your son to explain, usually in front of his whole division. Wouldn't want that to happen to my SR. We were very specific with our son's gf about what was allowed and as it happens she is very ameanable to not doing anything that will cause him extra IT. Good luck.

Comment by Diana, ship 04 division 283 on October 22, 2010 at 8:57am: Here is a doozy for ya,
Sons girlfriend sent him her class ring, I told her that was a bad idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know he will get I.T because of that but do you know what they will do with the ring ? I went through the rules with them but I guess they didn't listen too well , Oh my

Comment by diannep on October 22, 2010 at 7:18am: labmom: I have a feeling that she got all of your letters after she wrote that one to you. Has she been up there at least 2 weeks? They hold the mail for the first 2 weeks of bc, so I have a feeling that they got the letters earlier this week.

Comment by StarChild (Ship9 Div007) on October 22, 2010 at 6:16am: Doda-You are right. The little things make you happy and you don't notice it until your son is gone. My son and I use to go to a particular restaurant together but I have not been able to go without him.

Comment by Diana, ship 04 division 283 on October 21, 2010 at 11:40pm: Well you are not alone for everyone 10 letters my sons girlfriend got I got 1 lol and well same goes with this one in there , she has got 5, I have got 1 , Aah to be young in love lol, but I dont care as long as they are happy and confiding in a love one is what they need , keeping them happy and in good spirits is what its all about

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 21, 2010 at 10:21pm: Deneen, I know what it is like. This is our first, although we have received 2 phone calls, his gf has gotten 3 letters so far.
