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.

Kandra--What is your sailors rate? My sailor is a BU in A school at GP right now. He was there waiting for 2 months before he got to class up. He's loving it there.

My son has been in Gulfport since 10-5 in holding until his classes started on Monday 10-28. He seems to be enjoying it so far.

Hi Seabee Moms! Our daughter made it out to Port Hueneme for A school this past weekend after an amazing PIR on Friday (she will be training as a CM). She has asked me to look into options for wifi for her laptop so I was hoping to see what has worked for others out there.

Our son was finally able to begin the climbing-utility-pole block of his Construction Electrician A School again last Monday (21st.) We are thanking God that He has enabled him to make it back after three months of medical hold because of a pole-climbing knee injury. The knee is still hurting, but our son is climbing anyway. He did have to repeat one of the exercises last Friday because he was 10 seconds too slow getting down the pole, because of his knee.

Zellab29 my son was in Coronado for 3 years. He has been in Gulfport for almost a year now. Coronado is absolutely beautiful! He loved it except for the higher cost of living there.

Hello All,
I am new to this group. My baby has been a Seabee for 2 1/2 years. Any mom's in San Diego or Coronado? It's going to be his new home for a bit.

Any Amphib 1 moms with sailors at NAB Coronado Island?

Thank you, Karen, for the encouragement! We haven't heard anything yet, which probably means they haven't pre-tested him yet, but I may have to call him tonight. I'm SO happy that you will be able to see your son more often during the next month. Will that include Thanksgiving?

Lighthouse3: Yes ECS is combat training. He will be there for 4 weeks. The good news is that GP is only 30 minutes from here so I will be able to see him when he has time off. It has been great having him home. After ECS he is heading to Port Hueneme. I remember how nervous I was the whole time he was pole climbing. I had a prayer group going for him. I will continue to pray for your son's safety and success. I bet your Son graduates and is home for Christmas! That will be wonderful!!
