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."

The Ten OPSEC and COMSEC Points:

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.

Comment by Joanie Tyler's Mom(133 Bees) on February 19, 2010 at 6:50pm: Thanks Sara...I'll send him to payroll with a copy of the LES so they can correct it. I always take any extra/new money in his paycheck and put it back in case they come back later for it...that way there's no surprises.

Comment by Joanie Tyler's Mom(133 Bees) on February 19, 2010 at 4:38pm: Questions regarding pay: Tyler (Single-No Dependents) just arrived in Gulfport mid-Feb. His check has a BAH-basic housing added to it. He lives in the Barracks in Gulfport....does he really get a BAH each month? Also does galley charge for all meals each month or just the meals he eats there? Sorry to need so much info...but moving to Gulfport from GL creates new question.

Comment by Joanie Tyler's Mom(133 Bees) on February 17, 2010 at 8:09pm: When a new sailor reports for active duty and is stationed in Gulfport at the Seabee base, what happens when they first arrive? Do they go thru an INDOC course.....Combat Training....anyone with experience got any good info....Any help appreciated.

Comment by Dona on February 15, 2010 at 9:27pm: Welcome Staci! This is a great place for support when you need it. Keep us posted on your sailor. You will enjoy graduation-congratulations! Where is he going for A school?

Comment by Joanie Tyler's Mom(133 Bees) on February 14, 2010 at 9:42am: Anyone on here have a Gunner's Mate in Gulfport attached to NMCB 133? Tyler said there were 3 others and they were really nice.

Comment by Joanie Tyler's Mom(133 Bees) on February 13, 2010 at 11:26pm: Just got back from the SeaBee Base in Gulfport picking up my Gunner's Mate for the holiday weekend. It is great having him so close to home. The SeaBee Base is really great!

Comment by Dona on February 7, 2010 at 10:34pm: Congratulations, Brogden's mom!! I know you can hardly wait! You will enjoy it!

Comment by Brogden's mom on February 7, 2010 at 7:25pm: My son graduates this Fri from Basic...yea!!! So proud of him and so ready to see him! He's going to "A" school in TX for Construction Electrician training. Anyone in this rate and do they like it?

Comment by Joanie Tyler's Mom(133 Bees) on February 6, 2010 at 8:45pm: Question for anyone who has been through deployment to Afghan.....what is best card/bank to use for cash withdrawals/purchases over there? Someone mentioned Navy Cash Card...any ideas what this is? Also, won't bank debit cards work over there?
