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 Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 20, 2011 at 5:16pm: Yes   this is for all those who had their son leave this past week   My son arrived at GL yesterday    Its all pretty new to me   My dad was army in WWII and that's about it   besides some of his brothers

Ive been sad all day  but terribly proud I wrote a letter and its my first day back to work in a week. Two people came into my office and it was hard    Im hoping by starting this group we can look forward to something fun

I was told that PIR could either be the 18th or the 25th and if it turns out to be the 25th I can change the date....I didnt think to ask why it would be one more week   That would just not be good! but I guess it is what it is...I keep repeating that over and over again

Comment by MerryMarylander on January 20, 2011 at 4:49pm: I think this is my group - this was the tentative date we were told as well. Son left on Tuesday 1/18 from Fort Meade, Maryland. He was upbeat and excited, He is third generation (GF was a Captain, USNA '39 and uncle was on subs in the early 1970's). Hubby and I are sad he is not with us but we couldn't be more proud of the decision he made.

Comment by Leah(Ship07Div105) on January 20, 2011 at 4:38pm: Hello, I hope I joinded the right group my son left 1/19/11 for GL , wishful thinking it will be the 18th I guess, I am having a hadr time with this, Did you recieve yuor phone calls?

Comment by oregonmom on January 20, 2011 at 12:08pm: I told my son I would do my own bootcamp here (I'm overweight) and be thinner when I see him. So today's the 1st day. I'm having a hard time leaving the computer though (hmmm). So I must get off and up (darn).

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 20, 2011 at 12:00pm: Same here Oregon I thought it would be good karma to make it the 18th! How are you doing today? Thought I was doing alright until a friend stepped into my office and I started crying! Geez

Comment by oregonmom on January 20, 2011 at 11:37am: Thanks, Angie, for starting this group. I hope our boys stay with this date and no delays. I hope your week goes well.
