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 mustang on January 27, 2014 at 11:01am: Hello Everyone, i'm a new Seabee mom. My son is located in FLW on an Army base. He's been on hold but i believe class will be starting soon. Looking for anyone having a son or daugther in MO. at this time. Maybe our sailors are roommates.

Comment by Couldntbeprouder Ship12 Div 371 on January 26, 2014 at 6:45pm: Hi SW. Welcome! I am thrilled to see another mom with a sailor at FLW. My son was on hold for a month after PIR and then on hold for a month when he arrived. It has been quite an experience since FLW is an Army base with the Navy Seabees secluded in the corner. The winter is pretty brutal in MO for the EO training. I'd be happy to share with you what we have learned. Feel free to email me at on2nursing@yahoo.com. Congratulations to your daughter with her PIR and advancement towards her EO career. Kristen

Comment by Beachmom (Ship 13, Div 281) on January 26, 2014 at 9:48am: Welcome SW! My son is also an EO and graduated from FLW last November. He is now in Gulfport. Happy to answer any questions you might have along the way!

Comment by SW on January 26, 2014 at 9:10am: I am a newbee. My daughter arrived yesterday in Fort Leonard Wood, MO. She is training to be an EO. A school is to start early February, 2014.

Comment by Luannc19 on January 18, 2014 at 6:55am: Thanks 2nd mom. That is reassuring!! My boy going out to see the world can start off a slow pace! LOL.

Comment by oceangirl3 on January 17, 2014 at 10:37pm: Congratulations to all of the Seabees (and their families) who graduated from A school in Gulfport today. Good luck in your next assignments!!

Comment by Dale-Ann on January 13, 2014 at 9:57am: My son is graduating A school from Port Hueneme this week, after a two week leave he will be reporting to coronodo ACB one, anyone else have someone there?

Comment by 2nd mom on January 12, 2014 at 7:37pm: Luannc19, I live in the city where your son will coming to A school. Its in wichita falls, tx and its Sheppard Airforce base. Good little town. Not much trouble they can get into here lol. Plus they keep a tight grip on them here since this is not their home base.

Comment by Luannc19 on January 12, 2014 at 7:04pm: My son is scheduled to go to airforce base, Fort Sheppard (not sure of spelling) in Texas for A school. The options from there are either San Diego (Amphibious) or Port Hueneme (NMCB) Thanks for the info regarding your son. Im spending every minute I can with mine until tomorrow night which may be the last time I get to see him.

Comment by k7champions on January 12, 2014 at 6:45pm: Hello TKs mom, My son was in the group PIR 1-10-14 and flew out yesterday to Port Hueneme as well.
