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.

Tobianne, I hope your daughter gets well soon and I will keep her in my prayers. It is not easy when they are away from home.

Tobianne, prayers for your daughter that her surgery goes well and prayers for your son at boot camp, you will have to tell me if it's easier the second time around because you know waht to expect, although I would think not. This is my first time with BC and I don't know if I could go through it again it has been tough.

Good morning ladies...
I am finally able to say that my girl is on her way to being a Sea bee. She leaves Monday morning for Sheppard AFB.
I know she is going to a have a long road ahead of her, once there she will at some point have to have surgery. She is trying to deal with that. She is also excited, a very close friend of hers is doing his A-school there however he is in the AF. This does not matter to her, she says I just get to see him.
Decals, I have looked also. My younger girls are getting the pillow pets (its a bumble bee I think) and they want to get their sister one also and send to her.
So our next journey begins and at the same time, my journey has restarted at GL. My son arrived on Monday to start his BC.

HotFlashes, I look forward to our many chats we will have I guess I have a lap top question too, my SR does not have a lap top yet but in one of his letters I told him I wanted to get him one so I told him he had to do some research when he got to A school and pick one out and I would pay for it and have it sent to him but I'm wondering if I should just get one before PIR give it to him at the airport and call it good. I also need to know what kind of internet access do they need he has a Verizon cell and they do have that stick thing (can't remember the proper name) would that work over in Port H?
