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 Helomom on May 29, 2012 at 8:07pm: Congratulations to all you moms of new Ensigns! May your children find everything they are looking for with their new careers. Our son was University of Washington NROTC class of 1997. He is now Commander-select, getting his Masters at the USNWC in Newport, RI., and will be heading San Diego for his XO/CO tour with a helo squadron there. It's fun!

Comment by J/J Mom on May 29, 2012 at 6:28pm: DS got an email today about his 2/C summer NROTC cruise. Currently excited to be going on a sub. Previously not so excited for a short swo cruise out of Norfolk haha.

We'll see what actually happens ... this is the 4th set of dates & flight plans he's been told about. Hope this one is a keeper since he's so excited.

Comment by Lori4629 on May 29, 2012 at 3:31pm: Congratulations Jn/Jf Mom and Gale Sellers and your Ensigns!!!! Welcome gmwrdh, congratulations on the promotion from JROTC! We've got a couple of friends in the Southern / LSU unit, even though my DD is at Auburn! Best wishes!

Comment by J/J Mom on May 28, 2012 at 11:17pm: I'm so proud -- Our dd ... one of the "newest commissioned officers in the United States military"!!

Here she is after she was part of the color guard in our local Memorial Day service today. It was so neat -- she, an Ensign, Navy Nurse, for just over a week & the only other female in uniform there was a career Army Nurse, retired. Both ends of the spectrum. Also, the only other active duty present was a fellow high school graduate who enlisted right out of school.

Awesome service, awesome day :]

Comment by TwoForTheNavy on May 26, 2012 at 8:38pm: Proud to say I am the mother of an Ensign. My daughter graduated from Fordham University this month and will be reporting to Virginia.

I have not been very active on the NROTC site but appreciated the comments and pictures posted. Good by Group and thank you for the 4 years.

For those incoming NROTC parents/kids, hang in there it's all worth it.

Comment by J/J Mom on May 26, 2012 at 8:38pm: Welcome gmwrdh! It's a nice group we have here :]

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on May 26, 2012 at 7:22pm: Welcome gmwrdh! Thats wonderful! NROTC is such a great program!

Comment by gmwrdh on May 25, 2012 at 9:58pm: HI Everybody

I am moving over here from the NJROTC group. My son graduated from high school and will be attending college at LSU Baton Rouge in the fall. He will cross campus to Southern University for the ROTC program.

I am looking forward to his new adventures!
