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.

Haven't had internet for awhile and started a new job, so I haven't been able to get on here and see how everyone is doing. So I'm going to catch up in one big post.
Tobianne-thank you so much! It was my pleasure to do that for Kayla. I forced her to be my Valentine and stay the weekend with me in my big lonely house lol. I'm going to miss her once she leaves :(
Robin-your post made me cry. It means so much to me that you would say that. I have told my husband and my family that my goal is to become an Ombudsman. My husband plans to make a career out of the Navy and work his way all the way to the top, and I want to be right by his side the whole way. I LOVE everything the Navy is about and I wish other people understood how wonderful it is. I would really like more information on the program so I can begin the steps to becoming an Ombudsman. Thank you again for your kind words!
On another note, my husband graduated A-School today. He will be coming home to me tomorrow...YAY!! He was given an Honor Award (aka Accelerated Advancement Program) by the OIC, MCPO, and CPO. He is now a rank higher and will be eligible to test for PO3 next month :D I know this is bragging, but I feel like my husband has worked as hard as ever to get to where he is today. Because of that he will be a PO3 before a full year of service, and that is starting out as an E1 in boot camp. Bravo Zulu to my SEABEE!!!!

Thanks so much! I didn't know there was the gateway in addition to the lodge. That works out even better.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the Seabee moms page. My husband just got to Gulfport for A school last week. I was wondering if anyone has feedback for hotels in the area? I am visiting in March and the lodge was booked, so I booked at the days inn then later saw it has bad reviews. Any thoughts?

Hey Gals/Guys -- I'm new to this Seabee post, but not so new with N4Ms. My daughter is currently at Gulfport for A-school. When they were in Great Lakes, IL, for boot camp, we were given the name and number of a great guy who drives a cab out there who does a great job of transporting our sailors! Does anyone know of a similarly trustworthy cab or transportation for our sailors in Gulfport? My daughter needs to get to and from the airport for an upcoming weekend leave. Thanks! ;o)
