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 NI39 on May 10, 2010 at 11:54am: Im working on it! Please everyone feel free to add!

Comment by annafornavy on May 10, 2010 at 11:37am: Hi CW Mom: Thank goodness we have 6 weeks left until graduation, so we have time to get things gathered for all the information we will need for that GLORIOUS moment we see our Children again...

Comment by CW_Mom shp 9 div 228 on May 10, 2010 at 11:28am: Hi all. My son's PIR date is June 25 also. He is shp 4 Div 814. Wish I had more time to spend reading and being on this site. It is so helpful but just not enough hours in the day which makes me sad cause it really helps to read on here but just not enough time. :-( Trying to get all the info. Thanks NI39 for starting the discussion on hotels for grad. I'm going to get on there and look as soon as I get a chance. Kind of freaking out cause I have so much to do I can't get time to read enough on the posts to gather all the information I want/need. Really getting kind of depressed about not being able to. Will be out of town for a couple days at workshop and don't know how much time I will be able to read the posts. So anyone who would be able to start a discussion forum about tickets, what we need to do, the meet and greet, details stuff I would SO appreciate it. Thanks to all of you who post so much info for us all.

Comment by NI39 on May 10, 2010 at 11:00am: I ALSO AM SO THANKFUL TO N4M! I am excited to see more joining us in the next few days! Does anyone have any interesting discussion topics? It would be fun to get some threads going to make the time go faster.

Comment by annafornavy on May 10, 2010 at 9:27am: Hi SumiKO: My son is ship 09 DIV 223. We welcome you as well. We all need to lean on one another during this time.. What info can we help you with? Just ask and we will all try to help you with the answers...

Vicki: This was a hard Mothers Day for me too. We understand how sad and empty it is when you have one of children missing and you cant even talk to them. We hurt with you and feel your pain...

N139: We are so fortunate to have one another to lean on. We will be bonded because we walked through these 8 weeks together, holding hands and experience the highs the lows the uncertainties.. Whoever started Navy for Moms is a GEM... Only here do I feel I can be RAW and CRY without someone saying you need to get a grip... LOL...

Comment by annafornavy on May 10, 2010 at 9:08am: Kylesproudmom - I can relate totally to what you are saying about the mail today.. I was like that Saturday.. I was suction cupped to my front window frantically looking for the postman... : ) I hope his form letter arrives today... What a relief for me to get Dustin's.. I simply cant wait to meet all of you... have a wonderful day and soak up that letter when you get it..

Comment by SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on May 10, 2010 at 1:53am: he is going in for the nuclear engineering program, hoping to be on a submarine...not sure how i feel about this yet....as well as the fact that i'm about to move across the country when he is out of RTC (from CA to SC)
