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 Sharong6 on October 16, 2013 at 8:53pm: Sorry. I am a bit of a "newbie." With all of this. I will ask my sons wife about his rate. I have been so focused on his boot camp and PIR. His wife gets all the phone calls, but I get letters. I don't mind asking "dumb."questions. I always tell my students there are only dumb answers! So I assume you are referring to E1 or E2? I am not exactly sure at the moment. I am still in the "I'm a Sailor' heaven right now :)

Comment by Pa Mom (div 368) LS sailor on October 16, 2013 at 3:26pm: Any one know when LS schooling starts?

Comment by Pa Mom (div 368) LS sailor on October 16, 2013 at 3:25pm: If our sailors can come home for Thanksgiving, does the airlines offer discounts for military? He would be traveling from there to PA was trying for Latrobe airport its cheeper. How do we or our sailors take care of travel plans. Also when is shut down?

Comment by Sharong6 on October 15, 2013 at 9:59pm: Hi. My son is graduating October 18. Then on to Meridian.Part 2 of his new Navy Life.

Comment by htranthem (Ship 13 DIV 411) on October 8, 2013 at 6:58pm: Hi all! My son graduates bootcamp on NOV 1 then comes to Meridian. So glad to find this group :)

Comment by rhobo61 (sh12/div 313) on October 8, 2013 at 7:35am: There are quite a few new moms on this page so I would like to let everyone know about our fb page for LS families if you're interested! It's a closed group - we follow OPSEC rules so you will have to request to join. Please check your "other" messages after you send a request because we WILL ask you a question to verify your association with the military. We're not trying to be nosey - just cautious. https://www.facebook.com/groups/154723084727508

Comment by fredsmom on October 8, 2013 at 12:04am: CaseFace416 - You're welcome. I do hope that you get to see your sailor before he goes to his duty station. Keep us informed. :)

Comment by CaseFace416 on October 7, 2013 at 11:36am: @fredsmom Thanks for the info. He is stationed in Meridian now and home would be Tampa, fl..then on to Honolulu! I have a feeling it might be quite pricey, but we will have to wait and see. He might just opt to come home for one of the holidays if possible and skip the week home after A school.
