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.

Ok I have attended PIR in Chicago this past weekend which was amazing! We just got home last night. My daughter was in Mississppi before we left Chicago. So she is now a A school to be a BU as a Seabee. I am so proud of her. Proud to be a Seabee mom. She sounded so much more mature and happy!

I have not heard anything, but my brat is talking June so? She prob wont come home after this weekend! oh well.
Just keep in mind that they have many that may have already ask for the time and that could be why. Summer is a big time for visits.

Tobianne, yep - had to do tough love after Christmas. It was hard. But he learned on his own - a little. I think that is why he found a mentor.
Denise - thanks, I am hoping a massage today will help the steriod shot. Otherwise back for more April 1. Steven thought Jackie was funny. The more she picks on him, the more he will open up. Funny about the dogs birth week.
I was hoping to get out of old man winters clutches in March, but won't be able to make the trip now until May. I was hoping my son could come home for 4th of July since we are having a family reunion, but he said they have been told no leaves starting July. Anyone else hear that or is it my son trying to plan his time?

morning ladies. I need a long arm so I can smack my Seabee today!!!! lol I know she is an adult, I just wonder where she left her head at! She has made some very immature decisions this past weekend.
Have any of you gotten to the point you just want to wash your hands and say "whatever"....
I did actually "tell her off" in a text though. I know at 18 they can vote and serve their country, but they are really not adults. She has always been a very mature and level headed kid (for the most part), she left back to base at Christmas mad. Now she is guilty of this very same thing. I am sure some time I will be told how this is so much different with what she is doing! I see it and can say, no it is the very same.

Sorry I have gone MIA. MI has been getting hit with that nasty snow and that is flairing up my arthritis. Plus we are trying to have a m&g at the end of Feb. here.
I am so glad to hear of all the good news happening and would like to welcome so many new Seabee families.
Denise, I was surprised my son went over for the game. He is not a football fan. But he had a great time. Yes, he is really looking up to your son. It throws me off when he calls him CM though. From the sounds of it he had a good time with their dogs this weekend.

That was suppose to say is a ombudsman! oops. early morning today. lol

Manda- Robin is the ombudsman (still are right Robin), Not sure but I am sure you can get lots of info from her. She was super helpful to me before Kyle went in and gave me so much info about "The Family" you are now a part of. Her husband even talked to Kyle. I wish Kyle would have been able to make it through. However I am so super happy that my girl is there with you all.
You would be a great ombudsman, you care about what it is all about.
