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 Parrothdgal on June 13, 2011 at 7:41am: Tiffsmom...that's CRAZY! I feel a call to RTC coming on, they will tell you whats going on!

tylersmom...you will have to let me know his last name so I can see if she knows him yet. She did say the "boys" we trying to be VERY helpful...LOL!!!!!!!

Comment by Tiffsmom on June 12, 2011 at 11:19pm: Sailormom.....no, my son is not on medical hold. Just "on hold". He doesnt seem to know why. I just talked with him again tonight and he was kind of down not knowing what's going on. Sounds like your son is having a good time....that's great! I hope my sons spirits pick up a bit.....he just wants to know what is holding things up and can't seem to get answers.

Comment by tylersmom on June 12, 2011 at 10:27pm: Yes, Parrothdgal, our son is in Tx, too, for MA school. We are trying to go weekend of July 4th as he said he was off Friday AND Monday of that weekend~!

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 12, 2011 at 8:37pm: sailorsmom...glad he is having fun!!!!

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 12, 2011 at 8:37pm: I love you gals thanks...so far she is not on hold.....she will be running pt 3 days a week...we will see how it plays out. Planing a trip to TX....anyone else going there to visit an Sailor? All the other MA's she will be in glass with! She said they arte all still waiting to class up so she is back with some of the other MA's from her first DIV! YEAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Comment by sailormom on June 12, 2011 at 7:50pm: Tiffsmom, my son is on hold too. He is in GL. Is he on a medical hold? My son is waiting to see if he can continue on with his search and rescue contract. The doctors there said they found history of asthma. He never was diagnosed with it and it was when he was about 6. So hopefully we will know soon. My son said h is having lots of fun there. He went to a White Sox game with some other sailors.

Comment by Giraffe on June 12, 2011 at 7:28pm: Wow Parrothdgal.. Your daughter is amazing to go thru all she has.. Prayers are continueing.. Will she be on hold @ GL because of the shin problem?

Comment by BeccaBee on June 12, 2011 at 4:58pm: @hapsmom-- he's an ET. I'm sending you a friend request so we can chat. I think I also saw you've joined Nuke Moms, right?

Comment by Tiffsmom on June 12, 2011 at 1:19pm: Question.....I think I had asked this a while back.....does anyone know if we are able to post here where our Sailor will be going, other than their A school?? My son has his orders for overseas and just told me he is "on hold" now. He was supposed to start classes at GL and is on hold. Plan was he would be home for a few weeks before departing overseas in July, but now sounds like that might not happen. Don't really know......there's just so much I don't know.

Comment by Tiffsmom on June 12, 2011 at 1:15pm: @parrothdgal ......we are all so proud of this Sailor of yours!! She sure had a big cheering squad behind her here with NavyForMoms!!! Prayers will continue that she will have a full recovery!
