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 Proud Mom on December 8, 2010 at 7:33pm: Dear Proud to be As mom - I think the issue is they have nothing really to do until they check in to school - my Son is in the same boat just in limbo right now. I sent his phone off today - he called last night with new address and said it may be changing yet again. But he sounded real board and doing cleaning and stuff to stay busy - hope he cheers up! How long will she be in GL? Mine will be there until May - then off to who knows where - and congrats to all the Mothers Fathers and of course our Sailors!

Comment by CC0727 on December 8, 2010 at 7:28pm: @ Marti - My boys are at A School in San Antonio also!! : ) definitely warmer weather there!!

Comment by chandlersmom on December 8, 2010 at 6:29pm: II was hoping to hear from chandler today to see if he moved to a school. Anyone else hear from thier sailor that is staying at gl

Comment by momclf (ship03 div 018) on December 8, 2010 at 6:02pm: Awfully quiet on here girls......

Comment by momclf (ship03 div 018) on December 8, 2010 at 11:00am: It makes me feel better to know I am not the only one who had a hard time saying goodbye on sunday night. I actually thought it was harder than when he left for BC. I think before I just did not know what to expect. For some unknown reason I was thinking that he would be able to call like once a week and talk during bc. So when I dropped him this time it just felt worse. I cried for a long time. However I am so proud that he did this, I think the tears are a combination of sadness and pride. I also hope that we can all stay in touch here, everyone has been so great. Good luck all.

Comment by Marti Jacob's Mom on December 8, 2010 at 10:49am: Jacob called 5:30 this morning he was at the airport on his way to San Antonio for A school. Once I get a address I will ship him his stuff then he will have his phone again. Its hard to be a mom sometimes when we have to let them grow up and leave. I have six of them but the others have stayed around here. With one more in school yet.

Comment by proudksmom on December 8, 2010 at 12:49am: nvmomma- Yes one day at a time!!
A'smom- I also lose it when I see and hear things with the military or anything that remnds me I wont have my daughter close for at least 6 yrs! :(
sherri- Hope 12/3 PIR moms stay in touch on here. I have often thought about who I will talk to when she is at A school about my worries, fears and what a proud mom I am.

Comment by Sherri_M on December 8, 2010 at 12:38am: I miss you all!!!! Can you believe we have PIR'd???? WOW!! I still miss you all!! Congrats to you all and your sailors....our group was so awesome and what a neat graduation!!! STay in touch...message me, find me on facebook or come back here and talk!

Comment by nvmomma on December 7, 2010 at 10:57pm: proudksmom, I have trouble with the 6 year commitment too, and I've known about that for months! And who knows if they decide to re-up after that! Don't they know they are killing us??? Guess we gotta grow up & let go too...meanwhile, I'm just gonna take it one step at a time...

Comment by proudksmom on December 7, 2010 at 10:38pm: Her leaving for BC was very hard but she gave me a quick hug and was out the door, no tears. Im sure she knew if she cried it would be so much harder on me so she stayed strong. At least I knew I would see her in 8 wks but know I have no idea when I will see her again and that kills me!! She also dropped the bomb on me that she is 6 active and 2 non active...thought I MIGHT be able to handle 4 yrs.....but definately NOT 6!!!
