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."

Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
Don't discuss future operations or missions!
Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
Don't discuss specific training equipment!
Don't discuss people's names and billets in conjunction with operations!
Don't speculate about future operations!
Don't spread rumors about operations!
Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC and COMSEC when using email or phone!
Rules of thumb for parents and loved ones:
*If your sailor indicates to you they can't tell you something, believe them. Don't try to coax them into telling.
*If it is published by the navy about where a ship or unit has been (not going), that is when it's okay to share.
*If your sailor is in a high security area, say a nuke or EOD, consider using a nick name for them and you, a seperate email without your name on it, and don't even tell where YOU live. Let them tell you what they want you to tell others or if they are worried about info, always let them know you are on here. That's why they are careful on here about only putting first names on your profile page.
*Be aware, the OPSEC 10 points are about what they can't talk about. Think about what YOU might share as a parent or loved one of a military member that could cause trouble. You also have a responsibilty.
*Be respectful and teach other parents if they don't know and say too much, no need to be disrespectful or mean to them about it. Just guide them and let them know they maybe need to rewrite or delete the post. There isn't a member on here that wants to cause trouble or harm. They just aren't thinking or don't know.

Dona, you probably need to turn the "chat" feature off. Down on the right hand side of your screen. I've seen others post that having the feature on slows your computer wayyyy down.

Julie, I am trying to send a message, but the cursor keeps circling and reading "sending". I think that main room chat box is slowing down this site or something, but I can't get it to close.

Hi any folks in Gulfport willing to accept a care package for my son who is on FTX and bring to the QD for it to be delivered to my son???? I would be so grateful. I live in New York and do not know anyone in the Gulfport area to do this HUGE favor for me. I know now that care packages can be sent to our Seabees. Please message me if anyone can help!!!!

Thanks to those who responded to my questions. I appreciate the feedback. Re the video of the dorm....looks fine..utilitarian and what I would expect. Surprised to see messiness...I did not expect they would tolerate that. I guess that's only in bootcamp.

fmsnavymom- my daughter is not a UT, she is a CE. Was at the same base yours will be for school. Yes she loves her job. Again not a UT though. If your daughter is serious about learning and wants to do a job that gets her dirty she will do great.
Some have limits, they will find it and work through it. Otherwise a man will step up and do the job they were to do, there by labeling the her. My daughter does not like when a man says "Here let me do that for you", he reason, if I can not do it, I need to ask for help, if I can and was never given the chance< how will I ever know. She will do great. I do know some female UT's. They do not seem to hate the job they have. Also she will actually learn some of the other jobs. Ut's usually are right there to lend a hand so, picking up the basics will always help.

Silly question but I am curious....what are the rooms like at Sheppard AFB where my future Seabee daughter will go to A school? I can't find pics anywhere.

My daughter is a depper but is going to be a Seabee after bootcamp. For mom's of Seabee girls (UT) do they seem to like it?

ECS is across the street from A school on Gulfport. When ECS is finished they report to their battalions. My son is preparing for. FTX and said that it is 20 days of roughing it and no communication.
