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.

Tobianne, you are so right! family sure does fit! My son arrived in gulfport saturday after grad A school in Port H. I spoke to him last night and he said he was at a "friends house" playing video games.Didn't take him long at all! Now he is waiting for combat training to begin, but he will be in Gulfport for the next 2 years. He can't wait to get his motorcycle moved there, although I would be happy if it stayed in my garage. I hate the dang thing....

Denise, hate to say it but he already told me once he hits Gulfport he is a Seabee. Do you know if they can check into A school with a cell phone? His last letter said he can't

Denise, I'm a new Seabee mom & I believe my son is all of those things & more that you listed below. His PIR is 2-11 & he can't wait to get to GulfPort to start his life as a Seabee. I'm excited to learn more about this group of "sailors", lol

UMMM BAD ASS!!!
I get that everyday!
She is so super proud to wear that name and be part of the best Unit in the Military.
"Momma I am a Bad Ass Seabee"
I think every Proud Seabee mom/wife should post what it is to them!
How awesome it is to be the mother/wife of a Seabee.
Then we will have such a list that never will there be anyway, that our Seabees could be known as anything less!
Courageous
fearless
FAMILY (a big one )
proud
Giving
complete
ABLE
Give me a while and I will think up so many more.
Tell me this is not a room of Proud momma and wives.
Show me a "Sailor" that is not Proud to be a USN Seabee. I do not think we will ever find any.

That was a sign for the Navy-
something about the cross they have with the Navy, Marines and the Army. I am not sure I will ask her again sometime and repost here.

Kayla told me in the CQ room there at Sheppard, a sign hangs saying something about them being soldiers.... UMMMMM WHAT! lol
She said the AF likes to call them DB Seabees. (dirt bag) lol.
They often get the name sandbees/sand Sailors, also I am told (from some retired military), all who have spoken to me speak so highly and so well of the USN Seabee's.
They are an elite group as I have been told and are a force not to mess with if push comes to shove.
I am a proud momma of a Seabee today and all the rest of my life.

My prayers to family and friends of the Sailor....
My son graduates A-school today as well...and then also, to GP. I'm very proud of him, but with every advancement in his training comes heightened worry.
