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 Steph Proud AG Mom on April 15, 2013 at 11:13am: Question for the Veteran Mom's- Do the Sailors have access to like a common Area that would include a microwave- or like a kitchenette with a stove/sink?- want to start gathering some of my daughters faves to send once she is in SA

Comment by BridgetteH on April 15, 2013 at 10:52am: Good news, strained muscles, one week med hold, lots of temporary physical restrictions. He will get back to training next Monday. Yea!

Comment by BridgetteH on April 15, 2013 at 9:09am: ~having some pain (sometimes I hate auto-correct!). lol

Comment by BridgetteH on April 15, 2013 at 9:08am: Help. I got a panicked call from my son at 5:30am (mountain). He was having shooting pains in his back during PT. He told one of the higher ups and got yelled at for trying to get out of PT. My son is not typically a complainer. He called me last week and said he was aging some pain after doing "fireman carries". He is NW very afraid they might separate him for this. Is that possible? I think he just needs a quick chiropractic adjustment and he will be fine. Is that an option?

Comment by Steph Proud AG Mom on April 12, 2013 at 4:09pm: 4 more weeks until my SR heads to SA! - the future MA is the MA of her division- so proud of her!

Comment by lemonelephant on April 10, 2013 at 11:03pm: Sandra, welcome. I'm sure he is enjoyiing his new freedom and that you are also enjoying being able to hear from him. Be sure to check out the discussions above.

Comment by Sandra (MA Mom) on April 10, 2013 at 9:05pm: My sailor is now in San Antonio and waiting to start school. He's loving it so far. He said he's talked to several people there that are either in school or recently graduated and looking forward to being an MA.

Comment by lemonelephant on April 7, 2013 at 5:40pm: SRMom, welcome to the next part of the journey. Congratulations to you and your new Sailor! Be sure to check out Break down week by week and to let me know if I need to update anything.

Comment by SRMom on April 7, 2013 at 2:56pm: Well my SR is in San Antonio looking forward to starting school. I couldn't be more proud! PIR was an experience and am so glad I got to attend. I started bawling when she walked in and I could see her the whole time from where we sat. I am a proud momma of a Navy Sailor!

Comment by lemonelephant on April 4, 2013 at 12:49am: tashaalexiona, you won't know when your future Sailor heads to San Antonio until you get the PIR date. I see that your future Sailor is scheduled to leave for BC on 23 July, so join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in July. You will meet others with loved ones leaving that day/week who may be in the same TG and have PIR together. By arriving at GL at that time, his PIR should be either 09/20/2013 or 09/13/2103. You won't know until you get the form letter and things could change if his ship date is moved.
