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 Marti Jacob's Mom on December 14, 2010 at 10:34pm: Happy for all of you Moms that can have your sons home for the holiday. Enjoy them

Comment by TammyCorpmanmom on December 14, 2010 at 7:08pm: Hi !

How is everyone ?

My son get to come home for Christmas(YEA). We will have two weeks with him.Now if i can get in the Christmas sprite!!!

Comment by PAM (GM MOM) on December 13, 2010 at 10:56pm: momclf, my son's A school is also at Great Lakes. He will be home for Christmas Dec 17 - Jan 2. I am also looking forward to spending several weekends with him while he is in school since we only live a few hours away. I don't want to miss out on time with him while he is so close. He was also told that there are weekends he will be able to come home since we are within 300 miles. He can take the amtrack for $15.00 each way (military) not bad.Good for amtrack for giving military a good rate.

Comment by momclf (ship03 div 018) on December 13, 2010 at 10:52pm: Aww Marti, I feel for you. We werent sure if our sailor would be allowed to come home for the holiday, but we are lucky enough that he will be home for about 8 days, not as long as I would like, but we will take whatever we can get. Will he be able to get adopted for the holiday? I know it is not the same, but at least he won't be alone that way. I hope he had a wonderful birthday. My thoughts will be with you and your family for the Christmas season.

Comment by Marti Jacob's Mom on December 13, 2010 at 10:42pm: Thanks all he did not call today but I am sure he is celebrating with his friends. With what ever they can do on base. We did all wished him Happy birthday yesterday when he called. When he come home in feburary with will celebrate his birthday and christmas.

Comment by proudksmom on December 13, 2010 at 9:41pm: Marti- How hard that must be not having him home for the holiday!! Im sure he will have good friends that he will be able to do things with but I know that does not make it any easier. My daughter still does not have her cell phone or computer either, it makes me crazy!! I was so looking forward to being able to call her right after bc. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jacob!!!

Comment by Marti Jacob's Mom on December 13, 2010 at 8:01pm: My son's birthday is today and he is in San Antonio and doesn't start his school until the first of the year. He is not coming home until after A school. We can't send his phone and computer until he starts a school.

Comment by chandlersmom on December 13, 2010 at 5:44pm: Not sure how much time chandler has

Comment by momclf (ship03 div 018) on December 13, 2010 at 5:07pm: I was wondering the same thing. It seems like they went from being so regemented to an awful lot of freedom. My son has liberty every night from like 4 - 9, he seems like he doesn't know what to do with himself.

Comment by chandlersmom on December 13, 2010 at 1:16pm: Chandler said he starts school today. I wonder if all that they were taught will stick as far as being responsible team work ext now that they have freedom again.
