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 NYRican924 on July 12, 2011 at 11:43pm: Hi all. Hadn't gotten on the site since I've been trying to catch up on some recuperation sleep, lol. Got a call from my sailor while I was at work today and he was telling me (teasingly) that he was drinking coffee at the Java Hut! There is a Java Hut where he is going to school. He is in Monterrey, California and loving it there. The weather is great and he laughed that class is from 9-4pm (0900-1600) and he had gthe rest of the day to himself. He pretty much looks to be settling down pretty well. I can't wait to visit him in Cali, since I've never been there.

I count myself lucky since I work with a number of CTI's and they pretty much tell me about life at Monterrey and what to expect and also what places to visit when I travel up there to take Jay his car. What a great journey :-)

Comment by wismama (CS mom) on July 12, 2011 at 11:28pm: PIR was wonderful. Didn't get to meet anyone, but it was nice to have all of you for support and to provide information that I would have not otherwise had. Thank you all! Good luck to your loved ones in their future endeavors!

Take care. My son is a CS. If there are any others out there, please feel free to keep in touch.

Thanks again.

Comment by dudiesmom on July 12, 2011 at 8:57am: Zana.. my son headed to A school.. Corry station. He says at first the free time was unsettling but he is enjoying it now. He said his classes won't start though until the end of the month.

Comment by joel's_rackie on July 12, 2011 at 2:06am: Missed my flight.. I used EXPEDIA and buying a new ticket is cheaper than rebooking. Staying here in Chicago till Friday. Glad I have cousins here and currently staying at their house. I hope everyone is doing well. I was so happy to see my husband and in-laws. Finally able to use a computer! God bless!

Comment by wagner's wife on July 11, 2011 at 11:16pm: Great weekend! Got to see my sailor graduate :) so proud of him and then we were able to get married! And in less than 48 hours he will be home to move me! I'll be in south Carolina this time next week. So excited to start my journey as a navy wife :)

Comment by Susie2916 on July 11, 2011 at 9:21pm: Graduation was beautiful. Glad to have the chance to meet some of you. Good Luck to all the new sailors on their new life! Congratulations to everyone! Best of Luck and keep in touch! Thanks for all the information that this site had and to the veteran moms it really helped a whole bunch.

Lala - The ribbons were beautiful! Thank You!

Comment by waybigsmil on July 11, 2011 at 2:30pm: Who has a Sailor going to A school at Fort Sam Houston?

Comment by CArol on July 11, 2011 at 11:42am: Ditto. My husband commented as we were leaving Chicago last night how great it was to have all the inside info. We had a great weekend!!

Comment by Offtrack on July 11, 2011 at 11:25am: Just wanted to send my thnaks to everyone on here too. Especially to NYRican and the other veterans that provide so much guidance and insight. I felt like I had such a headstart knowing what to expect, bring and do. These are the kind of people that remind me what a great place we live in. I could not have had a better experience and time with my sailor. Thank You!
