OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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.

Does anyone know: if my son get BAH, will it continue when he deploys if his wife lives with her parents? They are trying to get this all taken care of in the next two months.

DENISE: Do you think the depression is due to having to change command or his upcoming surgery? Is this surgery for his leg? Long recovery involved? I will continue to keep both Michael and Jackie in my prayers.

Oh ladies, you would hate Michigan then. 80's one day and now three days later fighting to reach 60. Sorry to be away so long. I enjoyed my son's visit with my future dil. After two weeks of them being gone, they call to tell me I am going to be a grandma. So the wedding is back on for Dec 2011 instead of 2012. Ugh

sjtina - Hi! Yes...well he went in as an IT...failed out of the rating. He tried real hard. He was thankful that he was retained and allowed to choose a new rating. He originally wanted SW when he enlisted...but you know how MEPS goes! Hey, he is in the Seabee community!
He's been there a month now and so far so good. He's been appointed Safety PO. Passing his tests really well, just took the PFA and did better than he did at BC on times and such. He called home tonight and told me he failed it AND the test he had today...the stinker....had a bad day and hearing that started to make it worse! Then he tells me he's fooling around...in the end I laughed so it was a good thing! Praying it continues well for him.

LOL...San Fernando Valley California....103 today...I want our Fall weather to come. But weather at Port Hueneme is different...damper and cooler, and the ocean breeze does make it feel colder. LisaAnn, I think they are in the middle of clearing one barracks so that it can be remodeled in November, so they are putting the "newbies" in a different barracks. Your son still may get a roomie when the next group comes in. New people come in almost every week.

Thanks for the welcome,my son is living in a room by himself he said that no one has lived there in a while and had to do a lot of cleaning the walls and such all by himself poor baby:) he said he had and great view of the mountains and that if does get cold at night. We live in SC and we are alittle wimpy when it comes to the cold even though we have lived in the north. I sent his electronics today he should get them by the middle of next week. And subway is his favorite. Thanks for the info I will be in touch.
