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 Debbie on May 31, 2011 at 2:30pm: Hey Monica! Homecoming will be celebrated where they come in to port which is quite aways from where we live! Matt only has a few days before he has to report back to his "homebase" but we will be staying in town to spend that time with him. I won't see Matt again until the very end of summer when he and his GF are taking liberty ( she is a sailor gal! ) and will be coming to visit.

I am so looking forward to spending time with Miss navybum in person! As she described we meet right here during boot camp and have stayed in touch since then. Been especially nice having someone to talk to whose sailor is where my sailor is!! We compare notes to make sure our sailors stay on their toes!!

Monica - if I remember correctly we are in close proximity geographically - we should do lunch someday!!

Comment by Debbie on May 13, 2011 at 10:23am: Gotta update my pic!!

Comment by Debbie on May 13, 2011 at 10:23am: Hello friends!! Thought I would drop you a line - thinking of all you and hoping you and your sailor are doing well. Lots happening here - I moved to Long Island, my sailor's first deployment is winding down, my husband will be on the Tiger Cruise, I am going to the homecoming and my sailor became engaged in February to a sailor gal!!! Phew!!! But that about sums it up! xxoo

Comment by hismomdeeship7div103 on October 22, 2010 at 10:51pm: My son graduated from culinary school 3 weeks ago and is awaiting his orders to go to Groton conneticut for sub school, no idea where he will be going after that. Hoping to have him home for the holidays.

Comment by hismomdeeship7div103 on September 22, 2010 at 9:53am: Ok girls, does anyone remember the site for the free flags? I have not posted for awhile but have been keeping up by reading all of the posts. My son was dropped from his program in April, then put on medical hold til mid Aug when he was cleared and then sent to CS ASchool in Great Lakes. Now he is graduating next week, I have my plane ticket to go to graduation. I have been fortunate enough to make several visits to him over the last months and he made a suprise visit for his brother's graduation.

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on August 27, 2010 at 7:50am: no, she is just starting next week. I am just dropping her off.

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on August 25, 2010 at 11:30am: they learned that it makes the world go around!

my wife's classmates from A school are getting to their duty station in a couple of days then deployed right away. I guess we are lucky she has C school first.

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on August 25, 2010 at 12:44am: She is going to C school in Cherry Point, NC then off to Norfolk.
Pensacola was fun but after we seen the sights it was rather hot and boring. We liked it though.
So far she likes the Navy. Her basic bunkmate hates it, but she got married in A school and then sent to Japan. Kids will never learn, you gotta get married before your orders come down or the Navy will not care!!

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on August 23, 2010 at 1:07pm: That should be fun monica q, they have everything we have here on the base. I read an article that they have all the luxuries of the states, even McDs and the like! Look at the bright side, he is staying close to the states, it could have been Japan or Guam or something far flung like that.

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on August 21, 2010 at 11:41am: dildraa, what is your son's rate?? Ft. Gordon is an Army base! Sounds like my wife, she is going to Cherry Point, NC for C school and that is a Marine base!
