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 trashline27 on July 16, 2010 at 3:40pm: Hi emptynester! Yes Terence is going to be an MA..he has three weeks left in San Antonio and then ten days home and then reports to Bahrain for Aug 20th! Hi Pam..We are excited for Terence..he is very excited...Bahrain is in the Middle East. It is to the east of Saudi Arabia..an archipelago in the Persian Gulf not to far from Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates ...some very beautiful cities and international banking areas...very expensive to travel too..but you never know!!!

Comment by Kim on July 14, 2010 at 8:45pm: Wow, sounds like so many know where they are going already! My son has 12 weeks of A school and then more C school in the same place so doesn't plan on going anywhere this year! (Probably). Trashline- is your son Master at Arms? My cousin's son is and it sounds like the exact route! Bahrain, too! Central Command is there so it should be exciting! Hope he likes the heat!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on July 13, 2010 at 11:17pm: Trashline- but the knowing is the best part. glad he found out.

Comment by trashline27 on July 13, 2010 at 10:39pm: Hi all..Terence started his A school on June 19th in San Antonio. He was given his orders today...Bahrain for two years....he has to attend a C school for further training in Missouri first...he will have more information tomorrow...I am happy that he is happy and nervous that he will be so far away.

Comment by WendyG on July 13, 2010 at 6:00pm: Hello all. Glad to hear everyone is doing good. My Samantha started her A school on the 7th of July and she is studying away. Not a lot else new and exciting going on. Just thought I had better stop by and say Hello.

Comment by JudyB. on July 13, 2010 at 4:24pm: Pam, go to skyauction.com they have airline tickets to everywhere including bossiness class. I've seen them as low as $ 400.00 and you can pick your dates. This is an auction so if you are out bid there is always another auction starting right after the last one.

LMC, I wounder if Ian could get his A school book or a syllabus and start some flash cards and study with those...just a thought!!

Krystal, How is the little one doing other than growing...is he flirting with any girls yet?! lol So glad no bumps in the road to your new location...

Happy Tuesday everybody!!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on July 12, 2010 at 10:57pm: congrats on the move Krystal. glad for you. Hope you enjoy the new digs. :D

Ian is doing good. HE seems happy his Aschool is slow to start up. UGH! looks like dec before he'll be done. But that's okay.
Have Dan and Mitchel leaving for Philmont and I need to be helping them gather for that. They leave on Friday am.

Comment by Krystal(Trevor'swife) on July 12, 2010 at 10:51pm: Hey everyone! Glad to hear everyone is doing well! We finally have internet and are mostly settled in here in South Carolina. Trevor started A school today...he has such long hours and with the watches they have as well its going to be tough for awhile but can't be worse than BC :) At least he gets to come home every night.

Olga-I was going through his bootcamp mail and got to see the cards from the kids. They were so cute! He enjoyed reading them. Thanks again!

Comment by Kim on July 11, 2010 at 9:56pm: Hi everyone! It is quiet after the fury of bootcamp, huh! Sounds like everyone is studying hard! My son seems to love Virginia Beach and the class that he is in (IS). He is with two others from the same ship/division! I think he will be there for most of this year. Pam, tell your son to go for anything but Everett...ugh! My dad was stationed on Guam in the Navy during the Korean war! Everyone take care!

Comment by JudyB. on July 11, 2010 at 3:34pm: Olga, It's a good thing Steven has parents as school teachers; that he learned from his parents on how to study. Like how to weed out the filler words; and how to define what words in a sentence would be on a test. It takes practice. T is using flash cards, time consuming but it gets the job done.

Any way so glad everyone is on their toes, the outcome is well worth it!!
