OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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.

HI moms!
A mom just posted on Sailor Rescue List that she's looking for help for her daughter who's headed to Gulfport (not an emergency, buy the way, just looking for a welcome and friends). Is there a group for Gulfport moms? Thanks!

Robin-that makes sense...I guess I'll just have to wait and see. My husband was in the Dive program, but he really wanted to be a Seabee...so I believe he may now go for Seabee Diver. He's just trying to get his foot in the door with Seabee's first and then will go from there. Thanks for your response, though =)

Hi Robin- it has been some time. My daughter is in TX for her A-school she should finish up in January. She is sure from there she is off to Gulf port for 28 days. Then who knows. If you do not remember she is going to be a CE, and my son wanted to go Navy diver and he spoke with your husband, who turned him onto Seabee diver. My son has 35 days left in BC and now is hoping at some point to change his rate from GSM to Seabee, as possibly a BU or anything with the welding or building category. I still think he wants to go diver though. He is just not sure of the ability to do this. He does still know he is capable of it, physically.

cjt's mom---They do have internet there. Calling home isn't something he did. We did Skype regularly. He's in Guam now, his second deployment. He likes Guam much better than he did Africa. He loved getting books and letters and things to do, like drawing supplies, cards, etc. He complained because he couldn't find any beef jerky in Africa. I tried sending him chocolate at Easter, but that was a big mistake---it arrived melted all over everything else. Too hot in Africa to send chocolate.

My husband will be leaving GL for A school in Texas soon. My more curious side is wondering where we are going to get PCS to after his A school is over. Anyone have any clue where UT's generally get stationed after A school? I know that Gulfport and Port H are the most common bases (or so it seems) for Seabee's, but thought maybe someone would have an idea which one is more common for UT.
