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 Bobbie (Chris' mom)-MAA mom on October 24, 2010 at 9:25am: My son also wanted to do that but there was nothing available for another country this time. I told him I am sure he will get the opportunity to travel. Right now I am still adjusting to not having him at home!! I am glad that he chose something where I can go visit.

Comment by Bobbie (Chris' mom)-MAA mom on October 24, 2010 at 8:03am: Well my son picked orders friday--he will be going to Norfolk VA--unless he gets MWD (K-9). Glad he picked somewhere that we have family close by.

Comment by Brenda Sue on October 23, 2010 at 11:28pm: Tyler's Mom there are some threads up there you could read - read - and read!!!
Welcome to MA moms!! My son has been an MA for almost three years - headed out for his third deployment in a few weeks!

Comment by Tracye** Diva Rambo** on October 22, 2010 at 10:29pm: My daughter just got to San Antonio Tues....I'm so looking forward to her being close to home for now! Any advice?

Comment by hurleyl8dyShip6Div943PIR9/10/10 on October 22, 2010 at 6:13pm: Congratulations to all who's Sailors graduated and coming home. My son will be graduating in 2 weeks. I can't believe how fast time flew. He really likes the training there and his instructors. His friend just flew there today to spend the weekend at one of the hotels on base. He is still phase 2 so he has to go back to his room but not a big deal.

Susan, your son will love KW. We live in S Florida and go to the keys often. M wanted it too but there were only 2 billits for it and he wasn't one of them. It's all good though

Comment by CC0727 on October 22, 2010 at 10:36am: thanks miranda'smom. what is prp?

Comment by AuxLady(Ship 13,Div 321) on October 21, 2010 at 5:40pm: Hi Alexsmomma , I know they can't use cell phones during class,probably during day ..I believe less stringent on ph calls ,son can use cell as long as he'e not on watch duty .I'm sure she'll be able to call you frequently & update you on her progress .Since we're cross country didnt ask re visits,certain phases they go through before they go off base on weekends .I'm sure she'll be filling you in as soon as she gets there . I wish her well !!

What will be expecting contact wise while she's there. Is it as strict as basic. Will she be allowed visitors durring her schooling? Lots of questions!
