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 mumziepooh on June 14, 2011 at 12:35am: Sounds like your sailors are doing well! My son is still in Pensacola for a couple more months in his training. They are starting to find out what their duty stations or C schools will be but he hasn't heard yet. His top 3 choices are Japan Japan and Japan! I am thinking maybe Japan....just a hunch. We are going to Florida next week to see him and take him his truck. Pretty excited to see him!!!

Comment by Ragdollrae HM A school SA on June 13, 2011 at 5:34pm: I do enjoy reading everyone's updates. There are a few of us HM mom's that still communicate regularly because our son's are together in San Antoino in A school. Our boys will graduate July 18th and most have decided to go to C-School, from what I gather. My son signed up for a Surgery Technician. His C-school starts around mid August and he will be staying in San Antonio. Since I am in Houston, that is a very good thing for me. As soon as they received their orders for C-school, most of them learned that there was a quad zero position available in Italy for 3 years. It bummed most of them out, but oh well. My son does get down from time to time around all of the studying and limited time, but overall, he seems happy.

He plans to come home for a while between schools and I know that he is looking forward to that. It will be nice to have him home for a short while.

Hope you all are doing well. I like reading the updates so i hope that more people post some.

Take care.

Comment by Bebe on June 13, 2011 at 8:03am: My son came home this weekend and is doing so wonderul. Loves the Navy, stationed in San Diego and will report to the Carl Vinson. Just an hour away from home. All my prayers have been answered. I hope everyone is well and if your sailor hasn't come yet-hope they do soon.

So wonderful to read about how much our sailors truely love what they've chosen to do.

Comment by Debi (Ship 9 Div 126) on June 7, 2011 at 10:18pm: I got the Keel last week, I guess my sailor never ordered the DVD, because I didn't get it. He is on his ship the Enterprise now, not sure where he is , but he does e-mail every couple of days, Now, I am not sure if this is as bad as BC,I pray that all of your sailors are doing well, this was really a great group of ladies!

Comment by NavyMomofOnly1Girl Ship 9 DIV126 on June 7, 2011 at 8:54pm: My daughter graduated from the Master at Arms program in San Antonio, TX, on 06/03/11. She loved it! Is now home and went to report to her Reserve Station in Scotia, NY. She kinda wishes she joined FT active duty. Really loved the MA program and San Antonio. She is so tan. She looks great. Good Luck to all else who graduated BC on 4/8/11. We sure have come a long way. Sorry I never got to meet anybody in person this whole time! The comments and support were invaluable all along the way. BC was rough!

Comment by nursemom (Lisa) on June 2, 2011 at 3:42pm: The DVD and Keel came this week however....Even though I paid for it, my son had it mailed to his Dad's house. I doubt I will get my hands on it. I'll have to bug the heck out of him to get it.

Comment by jim'scupcake on June 1, 2011 at 10:06pm: bcordova...check with your sailor to see if he/she ordered it. I am not sure if you can get one anymore.

Comment by Bebe on June 1, 2011 at 8:35pm: so...if I haven't received one who do I contact to order one?

My sailors is doing great! Got the orders he was hoping for. He'll finally finish A school June 10th. Can't wait to see him...=)

Comment by jim'scupcake on June 1, 2011 at 7:36pm: Sorry to read that Michele....I was getting on to say...YEAH I received the Keel and the DVD today...and I was so happy, reminded me of everyone getting a letter and sharing the good news!!

Comment by michele67 on June 1, 2011 at 4:14pm: awwwwwwww I am so sad I had reordered more Pics and the DVD they called me today and said they have no more DVDS from 4/15 :(
