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.

My son's getting married before he goes to combat training in Gulf Port. Where will he and his new wife live? He'll be there for 4 wks. Don't know if he'll know where he'll be stationed once he finishes "A" school or when he finishes his combat training. He only has 10 days to come home and get married, then off to Mississippi. Anyone out there with any advise?

Hi I am just joining your group and could use some help. My son is at Sheppard for A school in Seabee training. Best thing in the world for him but he is trying to do an ELS. How can I encourage him to keep at it?? He just has a few weeks left but is seeing the Social Worker. Whe we talk he sound so depressed and cant get any privacy to talk to us. He has to go outside to talk to us.

I'm a Mom of a seabee in Afganistan. I haven't heard from him for quite awhile. I hate the no knock on the door is a good day, but I do find myself praying every night that I did not get one. I'm so afraid. Anyone in my situation, send me a sanity stick

My son has been in Gulfport since Feb 12th. It has been great to have him so close....he's been home the last 2 weekends....I think he's glad to be closer to home...He finally got his new truck this weekend....Now I'm glad I don't have to make that trip to Gulfport twice every weekend...Now if he can just get through with INDOC and move on to ESC (Combat Training???).
