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 MHSMom Ship 02 / Div 925 on April 3, 2014 at 3:10pm: Thank you for the help!! I figured sending the items to him once he gets settled would probably be the best. But thought it wouldn't hurt to ask ;)

Comment by Amotherslovex2 on April 2, 2014 at 2:43pm: MHSMom..it would probably be best to ship it to him once in San Antonio. It may be a lot to keep up with. I know a lot of MA's in my sons class received items once there. I was also able to bring items to him on base.

Comment by MHSMom Ship 02 / Div 925 on April 2, 2014 at 2:06pm: My son left me a bag of clothes he would like while at A School. Can I bring him that bag at the airport when he is flying from GL to San Antonio? Or will I need to ship that bag of clothes once he is settled in at A School?

Comment by kat on March 19, 2014 at 3:27pm: Thank you. I was afraid to say go to medical because I know he doesn't want to be set back but since he needs to run 3 times a week I don't see any other choice. Maybe a cortisone shot will do the trick. I have been praying every day.

Comment by D'sMom on March 19, 2014 at 3:16pm: I have no real advise but kiddo sprained her ankle at her first PT and continued to have issues with it. She should have graduated March 4 but is unfortunately is still stuck on med hold. She is not to happy to still be there and not in class. Hope your son gets better soon.

Comment by kat on March 19, 2014 at 2:15pm: Thank you I will pass this on to him. I didn't know how to advise him. He does not want to be set back but it does not seem to be getting better and he is there until May.

Comment by Amotherslovex2 on March 19, 2014 at 1:42pm: Kat..if the knees is unbearable he may need to seek medical attention. It also depends how long he will be there. If he is scheduled to graduate a school soon( nxt week or two). Going to medical May delay graduation date. He can try and hold out until he goes to his duty station. Once there he can go to medical. I'm sure he wants to take care of himself and not make it worse by not getting treated right away. It really depends on what he wants to do. My son has had two knee surgeries and it always worries me! I hope this helps.

Comment by kat on March 19, 2014 at 12:54pm: My son is at MA school and his knee is bothering him. It is getting worse and he doesn't know if he should say something. Any suggestions. He didn't have a problem until the first day of PT at MA school.

Comment by Huskies on March 16, 2014 at 10:32pm: Calitwinsmom, my son is graduating 4/4 but we are not going cause we live in PA. He will be home the next day for almost two weeks!

Comment by Christina on March 13, 2014 at 3:56pm: Calitwinsmom,
I am attending but I have no heard if many others are. We went to visit him the first weekend of March and I can't wait to go back and bring him home for a few weeks.
