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 cpmom on March 15, 2010 at 5:23pm: Hey guys: My son is a Nuke in DIV 145. He wound up getting a new bunkmate that is also a Nuke who is from NJ. He wanted me to see if his mom was on here...

Comment by BTHRASHER on March 15, 2010 at 2:37pm: Momof6 - Yes enjoy your time together. I think their leaving for A-school depends on their jobs and where they are going. My DIL had to wait for one month before beginning her A-school. We will take what we can get as well. We love him!

Comment by momof6 on March 15, 2010 at 2:29pm: BTHRASHER, just noticed that I wrote "recruit" and by that weekend, he will be your "sailor." =)

Comment by momof6 on March 15, 2010 at 2:28pm: BTHRASHER, my son will be going to Missouri. I hope you will get the weekend with your recruit! I am somewhat disappointed, but will take what I can get. I will need several cups of coffee to get myself to the airport by 4am!! Ha! We plan to make the most of it anyway. Never been to the area, so we will have time to explore.

Does anyone know what their schedule is like for A school? (Maybe they are all different?) I mean, is it 7 days a week or weekends off or ...? He mentioned having a full weekend off the weekend following PIR. We may be able to visit him halfway through his 13 weeks of school or something. I don't want to be "clingy" but wow, he's really going to be gone for quite some time, with only short visits home. That part is just now starting to sink in!

Comment by BTHRASHER on March 15, 2010 at 2:01pm: To Momof6 - Where is your son going to A school? My son is going to San Antonio. I have not heard from him yet regarding when he will be leaving. I hope it is not that Saturday. We thought he would be there until Monday. Please let me know if you can since communication is so spuradic. Thanks.

Comment by TexasBonBon on March 14, 2010 at 9:41pm: kanga123, yes that helps tremendously!

Comment by Troy's Mom Ship 03/Div 146 on March 14, 2010 at 4:18pm: Mardee5, no I have not called public affairs. I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks or the info. Have a lovely rest of your Sunday and a beautiful week. :)

Comment by Troy's Mom Ship 03/Div 146 on March 14, 2010 at 4:16pm: TJs mom, no word from Troy this week at all. No letter either. So hopefully next week. :)

Comment by Deanna_H_Proud_FC2's_Mom on March 14, 2010 at 4:09pm: Denbarb, when I talked to my recruit a week ago Friday (3/5) he said it would be two weeks before he'd call again. But, I'm wondering now if his call will be on Friday again or not. He is scheduled to perform at the graduation ceremony (this Friday and next I think) He said they would be performing at 2 ceremonies before theirs and the first one would be in two weeks (from when I talked to him) I know what you mean though. I carry both phones with me all the time too! I used to charge my cell in the kitchen at night. Now I plug it in by the bed and sleep with it by my pillow (just in case!!)

Have a great week! Hope you get a call from your recruit soon!! (hope we all do!)
