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 Jana on August 21, 2011 at 7:43pm: My SR job is also Hospital Corpsman. He really wanted a job that had something to do with being on a submarine, but is color blind, so that limited his job choices. I believe more specifically he wants to be a field medic with the Marines. He will be going to A school in San Antonio. At first, wasn't too thrilled about that, because he wanted to go out of Texas, but his mother is thrilled. He will get his chance to get out of Texas before long.

Comment by diannep on August 21, 2011 at 7:40pm: Thanks, seachelle. I have 4 divisions going tonight, 3 tomorrow night, and 2 from this group Tues night. I will send another Message to Group with that info now.

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 21, 2011 at 6:32pm: It goes directly to your personal email. That message should have her emails. They aren't in your inbox on here, just your personal email. :)

Comment by trapier on August 21, 2011 at 6:02pm: My SR's job is Logistics. Pickins were very slim her in GA when she went to MEPS. She wanted to be a Corpsman, but there were no jobs available at that time for females, only males. She hopes it will be temporary, she wants to study Physcial Therapy.

Comment by caseys40 on August 21, 2011 at 5:31pm: ok, now I'm lost!! Was on here, somewhere and seen lanyards for 7/272 grad date 8/26 and want to get one, now I can't find the page where it was at!!! Anyone know what I'm talking about? Then I got caught up in a 7 minute brief video of what to see at the graduation, and started crying my eyes out!! Who would have thought that a son could bring out so many emotions of being a mother? I am so proud of Sailor Myers, and can't wait to see him this coming Friday!!!! Investing stock in the Kleenex company by the way :)

Comment by Sparkling on August 21, 2011 at 5:06pm: We got a call! For an hour~ It was wonderful. He sounds great!

If you are the wife of SR Williams, he's good friends with him, says he's a great guy and doing well!

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 21, 2011 at 3:29pm: Now, I should have read all the thread before commenting!!

My SR is a Social Worker and is wanting to persue a doctorate in Developmental Psycology (PsyD) to working in a private practice setting. (for kids). He will be FMF...attached to the Marines. He is reserves, so I'm not sure how deployment factors in...but he brings up the possibility quite a bit. I'm not sure what FMF stands for exactally but I know if Field Medical something....What C school are your SRs going to?
