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 tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on July 20, 2010 at 7:30pm: KJ's Mom,

Comment by KJ's MOM, Ken's Proud Mom, Cathy on July 20, 2010 at 7:20pm: Earlier, moms were talking of their son/daughter's occupational rating. My son's is ET (Electronics Technician). Are any other recruits ET?

Comment by djloch (Zac's Mom) on July 20, 2010 at 4:33pm: I havent received anymore letters or calls yet and I too am taking the 'no news is good news' approach..I want to hear from him but Im not sure Im ready to hear the bad stuff yet cause I know I wont be able to do anything about it..Would rather hear it at the end when all over and he's thru it and he can say ' we had to do this or that but look at me now '

Comment by Jophers(Jo- Cameron's mom) on July 20, 2010 at 4:13pm: I just checked out that Navy racks video on the page here and it is not the right one about boot camp. On you tube i put US Navy boot camp and several video's come up, including the RAcks video.

Comment by Jophers(Jo- Cameron's mom) on July 20, 2010 at 4:02pm: Cathy he will be fine, they all will be fine. I too just long to actually hear him speak and tell me the good, the bad and the ugly. I get so worried I am going to miss his call tough. Cathy your thought processes are just like mine, especially about the gas chamber, oh my that week will be bad. As for my son, he is going to love the small arms training.

Comment by Jophers(Jo- Cameron's mom) on July 20, 2010 at 3:58pm: Navy for moms have done several video's one is called rack, it's about boot camp.Very quick but oh boy it helps. search for it on you tube which is where i found it.

Comment by m'smom on July 20, 2010 at 2:51pm: Just an update on our Meet & Greet. There are 40 people give or take a couple that have RSVP'ed. If you have just joined our group, click on events on your page, then click on August 26th. The Meet & Greet should show and you can RSVP with how many will be coming. This is a get-together that the Ramada hosts, for all of us to meet each other.

Comment by m'smom on July 20, 2010 at 2:16pm: jophers-what is the rack video you were refering to?

Comment by Sugar02 on July 20, 2010 at 2:12pm: I haven't received a letter from my son yet - Ship 04, Div. 286 - PIR date 8-27-2010. Wondering if any moms with sailors in this same division have received any letters yet?? Let me know if you're heard anything! Thanks!

Comment by m'smom on July 20, 2010 at 2:08pm: That is what I have said to several people. They get him up, make him clean his room and make his bed, feed him, teach him something and put him to bed. They are doing what I tried to do for years. And it is temporary. It will end. In 37 days!
