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.

That is wonderful belovedbyHim!!! As much as I would love my son close to us I want him to travel and enjoy this time in his life. My oldest son was stationed at Camp Pendleton near San Diego for almost 9 years in the Marines and we are in northern CA by Lake Tahoe. It was great having him so close (8-9 hours) but he was deployed three times for a long time and that wasn't pleasant! I would love to see Italy, I can't even imagine how wonderful the trip was!

Welcome ReeseMom-- My bee was stationed in Sicily and we got to go visit and tour Italy for 3 weeks!!! It was AMAZING!!! I LOVED every minute of it!! It was hard having him so far away for 3 years (followed by immediate deployment upon assignment stateside!!) but I'd never take this away from him!! He has grown so much as a man and I am so impressed and proud of him!! Welcome to the Hive!!

My daughter is in boot camp now. She will be a Seabee. We have two sons in the Army so learning the Navy lingo is new to us. We are VERY supportive and excited about her journey.
