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.

got to see my seebee daughter on skype last week it was so good to see her and talk to her.  She looks good but sounds tire.  Her highlight of the day other than the job she set out to do is watching the camels and people leading the goats and sheep by, such alittle thing as that makes her happy and not miss home so much, makes you wonder if we all take our busy lives for granted and why we don't stop and enjoy the simple things!  Hope everyone is having a good day.

Denise and Dona sorry for the delay in responding. My computer crashed after I posted this. She needs a licensed person over the age of 21 to go with her so she can take the road test. Thank you and I will let you know if she needs help. She is trying to find someone on her own first.

Thank you Denise, it's a small world!  I'm sure I'll have alot of questions for you soon.

Comment by KarlaJean (Seabee Mom) on March 20, 2012 at 5:05pm

Just wanted to say hi all!  I'm a soon to be Seabee mom.  My daughter is in BC now and will be headed to A-School in San Antonio, TX in a few weeks.  I'm looking forward to talking to you all soon!

Comment by Dona on March 19, 2012 at 6:32pm

Ann-Marie I was trying to PM you-I have family there. My brother is a retired chief who now works civil on base. I can send you his information.

Comment by Ann-Marie(Proud Mom of Nick) on March 19, 2012 at 1:26am

Hey Gulfport Moms, I need a favor! again.. I am sending my daughter down to help my 18 yo pregnant DIL to move on base, but she is trying to get her license to move my son's truck on to base and to get to her doctor appointments and my daughter isn't 21 so I need someone in the area to go with my DIL who is licensed and 21! Any takers??

Comment by Ann-Marie(Proud Mom of Nick) on March 12, 2012 at 6:28pm

Gulfport

Thank you Denise

Comment by Ann-Marie(Proud Mom of Nick) on March 12, 2012 at 4:10pm

That's great Denise.

Does anyone know of any reputable moving companies? My DIL is moving on base and has no license and can't carry heavy items because she is pregnant. She wants me to come down, but airfare and hotels could be close to $1,500.00 just to go down.

Comment by Ann-Marie(Proud Mom of Nick) on March 12, 2012 at 12:12am

My son is in Kandahar for awhile and my 18 yr old pregnant DIL who doesn't work of have a license. Is moving on base 3/28... will anyone be around?

Comment by SeabeeWife20 on February 27, 2012 at 1:41pm

Kym,

Soffe is the brand that is sold on base. This is basically what he needs, just in the Army Brown color. http://www.soffe.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catal...=

 

So if you can find something similar, then he should be good to go!
