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.

I am new to this group; I am trying to get information about the Seabee life. My daughters are in BC now and will be heading to Gulf Port after PIR 10/29/10. I miss them terribly and it is starting to sink in that they are not coming home after BC.

Granddaughter called her mom at about 3:45! Our seabee said that only about 2/3 of the division are left. How sad. She said after all the calls were made they were going back and going to sleep again for awhile, and she did all this with Mono!

Hmm...so will my kid be a sailor or a seabee since he won't have a rate and is currently a seaman being assigned to a Seabee unit?
-

PLEASE HELP! Granddaughter wrote her Mom today, saying "remember, there can only be 4 at my PIR. I am sure that I had read that others in the family could come, that there would be extra seats from the sailors whose families couldn't make it. I need to know for sure, as we don't want to go and then find we can't get in. HELP!

Here's another question - are any of y'alls sailors undesignated or entered the Seabees undesignated and then struck for a rating? We're still puzzling over why my kid is being assigned to Seabees as an undesignated seaman. Expect it means he's going to be chipping a whole lot of paint...but hoping there will be opportunity there for him to prove his skills and advance.

Hi ladies. My husband just changed his job from Diver to Seabee. He is in GL for about 3 more weeks and then transfers to Sheppard AFB. He is so ready to get there, because right now he is basically a sitting duck. I am also moving to Sheppard AFB in about 3 1/2 weeks. I am excited to finally be back with my husband after a long time apart. It's exciting to begin our future together! I'm also glad that I have this group to come to for questions and other things in regards to Seabees. I'm doing my research, of course, but sometimes there are those unanswered questions that only someone who's been there, done that can answer!

I think it would be better to have a mom of a Seabee who is deployed, recieve the box my future Seabee has PIR on 10/8 and then he is headed to A school in Port Hueneme, so if there is a Seabee mom with someone deployed please respond, we want to send Holiday Cheer their way.

Ladies below is the information I got from Carla:
You have the address of one Seabee. You have the address of most of them. What you do is you let that person know to set the box out. Also, find the address of the Chaplain. You will have the address of your son, or who ever has a Seabee. Then you just send it to them. Also, you know the address, write instead of the sailors name, put "Chaplain." That's all I know how to do. I hope it works! We do have a navymom with a son who is a Seabee who is just getting deployed in our group. My guess is that in the navy4moms group you also have some. Let me know.
