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 P3PilotMOM on February 24, 2011 at 9:00am: Thanks MA's mom.... I only get on at work.... thanks for the fill in. I wonder if there is a way to keep those kind of links available on this site so others will have them, with comments good/bad .... do you know?

Comment by lemonelephant on February 24, 2011 at 1:13am: I think that since Easter is on a Sunday, that what privileges your Sailor would have would depend on what Phase s/he has obtained to that point and if s/he has any watches to stand that weekend.

Comment by Justin's mom(MA) on February 24, 2011 at 12:52am: Easter vacation......he hasn't mentioned time off.

Comment by Mom of Joshua, the MA on February 23, 2011 at 10:34pm: cris - I'm not p3pilotmom, but below are a couple of links for lodging near Lackland. The first is for Howard Johnson, about half a mile from base and the other is a list for different hotels in the area. There are also one or two places on base if you want to look up Air Force Base lodging - they are listed under "Gateway Lodge" or "Gateway Inn" - however, the ones on base will have to be reserved by your daughter and then she'll have to be present when her Aunt checks in, as well.

Hope that helps at least a little! (I stayed at the HoJo - not terrible, but then we were looking for inexpensive and only stayed one night)

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on February 23, 2011 at 2:41pm: How soon will they get an address? I need to ship my son his cell phone and some other things as soon as possible so that we can start talking! I'm so tickled to have him out of boot camp so we can communicate!

Comment by P3PilotMOM on February 23, 2011 at 10:39am: Welcome to SA moms... if you or your dear ones need anything, i check in here frequently.

Comment by barbara22_ship7_div110 on February 23, 2011 at 10:24am: Justin's mom, do you know what days they're off for Easter Vacation?

Comment by BexwestShip11Div065 on February 22, 2011 at 10:05pm: Thanks, Sharon. I sent my first care package last week Priority Mail, the tracking said it at least got to the base today! Sent the baby shampoo and some candy. I think first day of their class was today, it sounds like they are all stressing about the futue tests already.
