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 boosmom on October 16, 2011 at 11:02am: marywil I talked to Boo on Friday and she said she was not on the list to class up on Monday. She didnt say anything about Britt so not sure about her.

I think they are on hold waiting for the classes to fill up.

Comment by Miss Suzanne on October 15, 2011 at 5:03pm: Pinkcubby - congratulations!! :D

Comment by pinkcubby on October 15, 2011 at 1:10pm: My Navy Sailor is coming home!!! I will be waiting at the Gate with my Proud Navy Mom apparel!!! Hooyah!!!!!

Comment by Miss Suzanne on October 15, 2011 at 1:44am: Hello Moms! I hope you'll bear with me while I brag about my son... :-)
Michael did the gun qualification today. He qualified just fine, but then when they did the target practice, he qualified for a ribbon as a sharp shooter! He did so well, actually, that he was informed that he was only 4 points too low to be qualified as an *expert*!! Today was the first time he'd ever shot a real gun with live ammo!
To say that I'm proud of him is a bit of an understatement! This is on top of scoring high on the big test, which makes him in the top 10% of his class.
His goal now is to earn ribbons/be top in his section in testing and guns; which has only happened a couple of times in the history of this base. But he's going to try his best, and I believe in him!
Thanks for letting me brag... my "civie" friends don't really get how major these accomplishments are... :-)

Cluebee - have a great time seeing your husband!
Schafam - sounds like you enjoyed yourself, that's great!
Boosmom - I'm very glad that you'll be able to see your daughter at Christmas, Congrats... :-)

Comment by Schafam Master at Arms Mom on October 14, 2011 at 11:23pm: Hey cluebee

We just got back from SA are you staying right on base?

Comment by cluebee on October 14, 2011 at 7:37pm: I am heading out to visit SA this weekend to see my husband. He didn't go off base last weekend, so this will be his first time - haha! I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

Comment by Aproudmom on October 14, 2011 at 7:27pm: Hi Everyone. My daughter has been there for almost a month. She was able to go off base for the first time. She is waiting to be able to where civilian clothes.

Comment by Mary...Brittsmom on October 12, 2011 at 1:34pm: Hi ladies, I have been a member of this group for a while, but my daughter just arrived in San Antonio on Saturday night. She at first thought they did not class up until the 25th but now says possibly the 17th. Still not too sure. Looking forward to chatting with all of you while we go through the next phase of Navy life.

Comment by Mary...Brittsmom on October 11, 2011 at 10:33am: Boosmom; Just talked to Britt last night, she said their orders were wrong and they class up next Monday the 17th.
