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.

Hi everyone I am enjoying my son' s 3week leave at home for the first time in a year. He is doing well after his recent first deployment. He decided to chip in with a buddy for a PO Box in town so mailing stuff will be much easier instead of using the APO address.

My son is stationed in Gulfport now too. Done with ECS last Friday. He saw a 133 come in. He said it was amazing. We spent this past weekend with him. We were on base a couple times. All the signs are still up. Amazing sight. He is an EO.

Kathybship13Div099 my daughter is headed there from the DLI in Monterey and is going to be a CM as well. She reports on Monday. I am very nervous about the move she has been a CTI for the past 10 months and has loved Monterey and made great friends. A little sad to see her move on but she is excited about the new opportunity!

Any other moms with SeaBee in Port Hueneme, CA? My son PIR date was 2-8-13. He is loving the weather and has completely phased up. Will graduate in May as CM. Don't know where he will go after that.
