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 Kathy on November 10, 2010 at 6:35pm: Hi, If any of you had sons going to Groton today, son called about 2 hours ago, they were on a bus from Boston. said it would be about a 2 hr ride, they should be getting there about now. It was great that he could call several times today.

Comment by KS Cathy (S7Div.357/PIR11/5) on November 10, 2010 at 6:33pm: This is for any mom with a daughter that has finished RTC. There is a young lady here that has the same recruiter my son had. She has questions but wants a woman's point of view of RTC. If your daughter would be willing to visit by email or letter please let me know. I can be the go between until she is comfortable sharing her email. PLEASE leave a message for me. I will check my messages. Thanks again.

Comment by Lynne on November 10, 2010 at 6:01pm: We missed you skimbel...it was great fun...we had so many people there...it brings tears to my eyes just to think about it...I think we made Navy Mom history with our big turn out...people are talking about our group and how tight we were...lol

Comment by Lynne on November 10, 2010 at 6:00pm: Nicole try this group...I think you will find eople in the same situation..http://www.navyformoms.com/group/cryptologyatpensacolamoms?groupUrl...

Comment by Nicole[: [Proud.Navy.Wife] on November 10, 2010 at 5:20pm: does anyone have a Sailor going to Pensacola to be a CTR? My boyfriend is down there now, just wondering if I have anyone going through the same thing :).

Comment by skimbel on November 10, 2010 at 4:52pm: hi Ladies I am still beaming with pride...I think I give new meaning to proud Navy Mom. I am missing him already....Leaving him was so hard but it made me feel better knowing that I can have more contact with him once he gets his phone. I was wondering how the meet and greet went I was so sad I couldn't make it to meet all the wonderful families. I want to say congrats to all the sailors and their families that shared this special day with me and my son and family.

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on November 10, 2010 at 3:23pm: Lynne, how are you doing? You have been so wonderful through all of bootcamp, just don't know what I would've done without you - thank you so much for giving of yourself so much to all of us.

jck - thanks so much for the pics! I saw my son in a bunch of them - which was great, seeing as we had 3 cameras and a camcorder, and hardly got anything (hard to get anything thru the railing from upstairs). You must've had great seats!
