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.

Vonecia, he should be able to call you from a payphone or something. The address is going to depend on where he is. If he is in Gulfport, there are several buildings he could be in. If he is Meridian, I have no idea what the A school is like up there. Unfortunately, he is really the only one who can provide you with that information. Give him some time and once he is settled I'm sure he will give you a call.

hi I hope everyone is doing well. We are doing fine, My seabee was home recently, it was so great to see him. I hadn't seen him since last Nov when he came home for my mom's funeral. Now he is going to a new assignment. So I won't be visiting here very often except to touch base and say hi. I wish everyone a happy life and good wishes for their NAvy person. I will stop in and say hi from time to time.

Can anyone tell me about FEX and FTX. What is the difference. Does it last exactly four weeks? Is there a video to watch that tells about it?

Has anyone had (and I think probably hundreds will answer) but has anyone had a son or daughter go through steps to get married to an out of state fiance. Is it a hard process? Do they just get their marriage license and get married and then put in for on base housing? Does it take long to get things taken care of? He deploys in early next year and they want to get married in Nov before he leaves. I'm happy for them. I love her and she's apart of the family already so just want to try to ease their anxieties about what is the easiest thing for them to do to make this transition less stressful and more happy.
