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 AshJewell on December 11, 2010 at 3:43pm: I got my blue form in the Mail today! NS and I are offically going to Chicago for Christmas! I faxed it in 10 min after I got it.

Comment by Lynne on December 11, 2010 at 2:35pm: Drama...i sent you a message earlier and I will reiterate here..I never meant to offend you or say anthing negative to you...I feel very protective towards each of you and when I say the things I do it is only to keep you from being disappointed...then if the best happens that is awesome. So, I apologize to you. I try very hard to always take responsibility and hold myself accountable for my actions. It was a privelege to be asked to help out in these groups and I take that responsibility seriously, however I will try to be much more careful about what I say. It has become a "funny haha" issue for many of us with our recruits and sailors because the navy for moms network is so good regarding certain issues. Again please accept my apologies.

Comment by Marsha on December 11, 2010 at 2:05pm: Got another letter this morning...I'm still looking for places to stay close to RTC as he is a grad and go...any suggestions?

Comment by NS on December 11, 2010 at 12:54pm: Tomorrow marks the halfway point for all of us and our recruits! (for those who got there on Nov 9th)

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on December 11, 2010 at 11:04am: 33 days & counting ladies.....whoohoo almost hit the 30 day mark!

looks like a Winter Storm Watch is in affect for the Great Lakes area this weekend. I will be praying for our SR to stay warm & have continued good health through it all :-)

Comment by Lynne on December 11, 2010 at 3:00am: Thats the attitude drama...you have a new member of your family now called the Navy...and unfortunately they are in charge...lol...and they are not too consistent, not very considerate, and make up their own rules...lol

Comment by DramaboysMom on December 10, 2010 at 8:30pm: Well, I am not really worried about it. We will see him when the good Lord allows, and he will do as he is ordered. I guess the key word there in what he said was "HE THOUGHT". He has no more knowledge of what is going to happen than any of us do.

In the mean time... hope you all got to hear from your SR's. if not, I pray that the opportunity happens soon to cheer up your holiday spirits. Have a good w/e all!

Comment by Lynne on December 10, 2010 at 6:18pm: Ahhh dramaboys...geez I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but you know those orders they get that says classes start on a certain date...well they aren't always so right...lol...you are better off to check in on the group here for navy for moms for that a-school and see what those moms tell you is the waiting period. My son went to pensacola and told me he would be starting classes in 9 days after arrival. I said...you know son...on the navy for moms site...it says you will have more like a nine week wait...he said...mom my orders trump your navy for moms gossip....uh huh...guess who was right....yep...navy for moms trumps the navy...lol...so check it out...

Comment by DramaboysMom on December 10, 2010 at 3:48pm: *should read "No matter what, your SR knows that it is a crap shoot trying to get people on the phone at any given time." Sorry, Sometimes fingers get going faster than brain.... puctucation.

Comment by Lynne on December 10, 2010 at 3:27pm: If he said he like them redsmom...probably means no trouble for them...just goes to show how things are different...I have several divisions in various groups whre they can't have any photos...so I think I am going to start posting the commandments in the deppers groups so that moms start off not sending photos and ask first...lol
