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 RenoNavymom on August 30, 2010 at 5:21pm: My son is still in Japan, waiting with baited breath to get on the USS George Washington, and to get on with his job, anytime now.

Comment by LindainIvorVA on August 30, 2010 at 1:47pm: Chris... imma betcha it is !!!!!!!!! LOL ... Tina was the real nice lady who spoke at the Ramada inn... not sure you were there or not.. yup... sure is small... Smiles....

Comment by chriscwick on August 30, 2010 at 1:41pm: LindainIvorVA - nice to know, thanks! Chris has mentioned that a young lady from his class in San Antonio went over with him. It would be such a small world if she's the same person! Thanks again. ccw

Comment by LindainIvorVA on August 30, 2010 at 11:53am: Chris... i believe ""TinaSailorMom"" has her daughter over there and i believe she's also MAA ... small world...

Comment by chriscwick on August 30, 2010 at 10:17am: Sorry I'm coming into this group so late. I'm a bit new to social networking! My son Chris graduated & went to "A" school in San Antonio to become an MAA. After his "A" school PIR in early June he was home until a couple days short of Father's Day. We got a call on Father's Day from Bahrain, he sounded whupped from the travel & the heat. He'll be there for the next couple years. He's enjoying his duty, both the people he works for & with. Anyone got someone in Bahrain & maybe an MAA?! Chris said a few of his "A" school buddies are there with him. Would love to hear from you! Take care, ccw

Comment by LindainIvorVA on August 1, 2010 at 9:38am: dat was a nice story ! i'm still waiting patiently !!! my daughter grad CTT "A" school this past Friday .. think she has to w8 till end Sep for "C" school .. onward they go!

Comment by debRN01 on August 1, 2010 at 5:36am: Hi to ALL, Just checking in and catching up with the postings. Its great to read about visits home and the adventures of our sailors ! My son was home for 15 wonderful days and last Friday flew off to San Diego, unfortunately his ship is 'underway' and he is hanging around the base and enjoying downtown SD. He text me last night BTW I am leaving for the ship tomorrow ! You have to love that ?

And so the next adventure begins in his first deployment ! The visit was bittersweet and in retrospect seem to go by so quickly. So enjoy your sailors when they get home.

Comment by LindainIvorVA on July 30, 2010 at 11:06pm: Judy - hopefully he can get off the base and enjoy all the fun that's out there.. I'm sure he can & has... i hate it when people talk about the old days when "sailors weren't allowed on grass, etc" it's not like that at all ! it's a great community !! but sometimes the sailors can't get off base (especially when on ship) and whine.. so much to see & do... I'm sure you know that already...

Charlene... my daughter grad today too & I wasn't able to go... but a Navy Mom was soooo wonderful to take pics cuz her son grad in class too ! I feel so lucky..

GO NAVY !

Comment by CharleneM on July 30, 2010 at 11:18am: My son graduates from A school today and I can't be there, which really upsets me!! He recently got a 6 year contract and so he will have even more training. He will go to NAS for training related to his 6Y contract, then start C school. He won't get to come home before Christmas (and that's still not for sure). Congratulations to all the sailors graduating today! GO NAVY!!

Comment by LindainIvorVA on July 30, 2010 at 9:32am: Judy .. yea it was ROUGH ! Sun shining today ! Dam Neck is such a nice base..
i used to live 2 miles from the base and went to their beach everyday I cud ! LOL
