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."

The Ten OPSEC and COMSEC Points:

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.

Comment by ProudMamma on April 25, 2012 at 9:59am: KarlaJean-- My son was in the same PIR as your daughter and is also a CE. I'm thinking that the first week or so is going to be mostly safety.... it can be a very dangerous field. I would also like more information about the job. By the way, congratulations on your new Sailor! The ceremony was wonderful!

Comment by KarlaJean (Seabee Mom) on April 25, 2012 at 3:54am: For any of you that have a Sailor that's a CE could you tell me a little about the job...friend me if it is information you can't post on here, I would really love to know what it is all about. My daughter called me tonight all freaked out about some stuff she heard at school today about her job. I told her it sounded like they were just giving all the information in the "worst case senerio" type format. I would love to be able to ease her fears. Thank you!

Comment by Tobianne on April 24, 2012 at 3:51pm: they also go to MO to a Army base as well. It just depends on what job they will be doing as to where they do A-school. My daughter is a CE so Sheppard was where she was at.

Today (tonight for us here in the states) Kayla is having surgery, finally. I am very nervous. As any good momma would be. she is in good hands many other Seabee's have said they are going to take turns helping to care for her. She will not be able to eat for about 30 days. Her jaw will be wired shut. God will get her thru all of this and comfort my fears. she will not be in the awful pain she has been in and that is the main prognosis for this. Function is gonna be a bonus if this is achieved.

Comment by chelsealoo on April 24, 2012 at 12:57pm: Yes, there is. Its in Wichita Falls, TX at Sheppard AFB.

Comment by ebigirl on April 24, 2012 at 12:47pm: OK, I'm confused. Is there an A school in Texas for Seabee's? My understanding was there were two. PH on the west coast and Gulfport in Miss. Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks!

Comment by KarlaJean (Seabee Mom) on April 23, 2012 at 12:42pm: Hi Michelle, I know she got there Saturday and she said she had a tour of the facilities Sunday that would be neat if it was your son showing her around. I bet you are very excited for him to come home in May....Is he being stationed in Italy?

Comment by michelle on April 23, 2012 at 12:32am: Hi karlajean ,My son is in Aschool at wichita falls since graduation January 6th but he will be leaving soon to go to Italy on May 21st he is comong home on May 3rd.My might have met her everytime they have new cbees aboard he shows them around..

Comment by KarlaJean (Seabee Mom) on April 22, 2012 at 11:45pm: YAY! One step closer to being a Seabee mom...my daughter had her PIR on Friday 04-20, and flew to Wichita Falls, TX on Saturday 04-21.
