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.

Got a text and phone call from my son! They are back but the CM's & I think he said the EO's had to stay behind to make sure they had everything packed and bring it back.

Ladies, thank you for your support. Just taking things a day at a time and looking forward to the day my hubby returns home.

Denise - that he does. Steven has enjoyed his get togethers with Michal & Jackie. I will definitely have Steven introduce Jackie & Kristin. She needs help on understanding Navy life and how to deal when they deploy. Heck, I will need help when they go haha.
Steven has said originally FEX was supposed to be 14-18 days. I hope that he was more correct than wrong.
I hope Michael is feeling better. I saw today that it is supposed to be very hot down there the rest of the week. So all you down south, please take care of yourselves and your loved ones. The north is finally getting a heat break.

Dave's SeaBeeMom, I just sent you a message for those directions. My nieces are very crafty so I bet we can get a bunch done before school starts again (another month to go).
Hopefully Steven & Dave can hook up and his girl can help find someone for Dave to go out with. Maybe that will help those two get out and do things too besides sit and watch TV.

I had read on FB that the 7th was the last day for packages. Ann Marie & Dave's mom, I hope that our sons meet. Yes Michael is a bundle of help. My son has gotten himself a new girlfriend that has a level head, but is really missing him. I have talked to her for 7 1/2 hours in the past week. I can't wait for FTX to be done so she can talk to him again. I have encouraged her to join the FRG (she is from Louisana so about an hour away) and this site to meet others that are in the same situation to help her, but being 20 and bashful I don't think she will.
