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.

SheisaSeabee, My son is also with Batallion 11. He has been in GP since last November. He is an EO.
If any of you are on Facebook, a lot of the Seabee Mom's have joined the "Seabee Mom's" page. It's just another way to connect!

Hello everyone! It's been awhile for me too. Welcome to all the newcomers! My daughter got to GP last Saturday and started ECS on Monday. Her graduation date is March 28th and then she will be assigned to battalion 11. She is doing well and very excited about the future! I hope everyone else is doing well also!! Happy Birthday Seabees!

WOW this format is different! I haven't been online here in several days!
Not sure who posted the Seabee birthday icon on FB this morning but just had to share it on my own page!
Have my trip booked for heading to GP in another month - can't wait!
Welcome, Daniele! My son has been in GP since the beginning of February for 'A' school; his PIR was 11/27. The ladies here are very welcoming!

I'm new to all of this. My daughter is currently at BC and will be a SEABEE when she completes A school.

Sarabi2013 - THANK YOU!! Even if it isn't a big ordeal, it still is an accomplishment and something I would like to see. At this point from what he has told me, he is at the top of his class so to ME, it is NOT a 'waste of money' as my son puts it! Appreciate him being concerned about me, but nonetheless really want to be there, even if I turn around and get back on a plane later that same day!
