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.

oh wow. I am sure mine will end up in the sandbox at some point. She was happy that she was being sent to Japan, she has a very good (like a brother) friend stationed there. He is Marines, but just found out they will miss each other here at home by like 10 days, he is also being deployed to Afghanistan. So she is now so sad. She is hoping that at some point she will get to see him. He will not be coming home for Christmas as it is so expensive.

yeah she said she actually could have known but never looked (I guess) lol .
Sorry I hope I did not confuse anyone. Her deployment is next Dec.
-

Tobi- my Seabee has known his company since he got his orders to a school. But said something about that could change. I've already got his apo address

Yes denise is right, he would just really need to ask.
Sweet look at all of our fighting 40's. The only thing Kayla does not know is which company exactly. My understanding is this is something you may not find out until you are actually at PH.
Denise from Michigan- welcome. You will get a wealth of information here. If you have any questions just ask. We are so fortunate to have Seabee moms that have been down this rd and know a lot and can help.

Kym- Denise is right. If he asks they should be able to tell when. I did hear from mine if they dont deploy before January it'll be august before they go out again. Keep in mind, that's not gospel lol

Kym, mine daughter is still at Sheppard. She was able to get a look at the "list" and was able to see her deployment. She is also deploying in Dec.
Denise- where is your Seabee going to? Kay is Okinawa.

Hey kym- my son is same battalion. He knew about 3 weeks or so in advance. Leaves tomorrow.

Hello All-My son just PIR 12-03 and is now at FLW as a EA.

Awee, I am feeling for all the moms and wives that do not get to be with their SeaBee. I am fortunate this time around, she will be home on the 22nd. Next year though, she will be in deployed. It will be a first and surly not a last of missed Christmas's. We did not get to see her at Thanksgiving. One of her Favs. She likes to say, I'm a fat kid, whats not to love about Thanksgiving!? Her chiefs made sure the ones there were taken care of, and she spent the day eating and relaxing (sleeping really) with her brothers in and sisters. God Bless these families for doing this, her one chief did not even have his wife and kiddo's there. They had gone home for the Holiday, so his father stepped in and helped along with the other chief and his wife.
I will be thinking of all of you, as well as our military deployed. I know that when my time comes others will also be thinking of me and all the moms not with our loved ones.
Denise- I agree about the married ones, worse is if they have children. That hurts us as we so know that feeling.
