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.

If my son's tour in D'jibouti is any example, tell him to take his computer and leave his phone.

Dorothy, My son's PIR is 10/8 and he is Grad and Go so I only get a few hours with him after PIR and then again at the airport....I'm wondering if they will start their classes together.
Twinsmom, if I see your twinkies I will give 'em' a hug for their momma.

Hi Dorothy, Welcome! My son got to Port H the 23rd Of September and his classes were to start today! My sons PIR date was 09/17 and yes the weather is better in Ca. They all seemed to get sick in BC.

Hi eveyrone! New here. My son just got to Port H last week from bootcamp, but isn't scheduled to start A school until oct 12th, i believe. so far he's liking California. hoping with the nicer weather maybe he can finally get over the cold he had for most of the time at GL.
Hope you all have a great day!

I can't wait until I can talk to them more, we have such a close relationship and not talking to them is hard. Your one daughter is in A-school and the other is at BC now? I noticed you are from Canton, I lived in Canton for 10 years and grew up in Alliance. I was just in Canton yesterday for my niece's birthday!

Twinsmom, awe I feel your pain as does every other momma/wife here. This is such an awesome thing they have done and to be together what a great thing. I was not so lucky my kids (not twins) did not want to be in BC together so Now I relive this whole thing again. You will see once in A-school, they can call home. I talk to my daughter like 3-4 times a day and texts are so nice, until they forget they were texting you and send you someone else's text and you then are confused... lol I feel better now, and my kiddo was in Bc for 39 days past her PIR as she was sick and in ship 6. So I went crazy....

My daughters are in the Performing Division and said their first graduation they will be performing in is 10/8 so if anyone is going to PIR 10/8 and you see twin girls give them a hug for me! They are in the wedge, whatever that is, they are a group of 3 somewhere in the center.
