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 ArmywifeNavymom on March 22, 2013 at 8:00am: Joanie, we were visiting our son in Gulfport last weekend and on the main road, there were a 100 or so signs welcoming them home. I don't know exactly how many signs but you could tell they were made by children and family members. It took everything in me to not tear up, it was just an awesome site!

Comment by SarahsMom(Ship03/Div176) on March 20, 2013 at 9:01am: denise<att'smom, she is going from Monterey CA (DLI) to Naval Base Ventura County, in Oxnard CA. She is going to be a CM? Not sure what all that entails but she is very excited. SHe has been at the DLI for almost 10 months. I just hate she is having to leave all her friends. Her boyfriend was recently shipped to Pensecola so a whole lot of seperation anxiety going on LOL!

Comment by deniseMatt'smom on March 19, 2013 at 6:05pm: Welcome! My son is almost done with "A" school, he is a BU and has been in Mississippi since Dec. He loves it there, especially the weather, since we are from Mass...(it's been a horrible winter). He told me last nite that 14 were coming in this week!! I don't know where she is coming from, but there seems to be plenty to do in the area and on base!! We have plans to visit next month...I can't wait!!!!! There are a lot of experienced Moms here so if you have any questions I know they will have the answers!!! Good luck & Welcome!

Comment by SarahsMom(Ship03/Div176) on March 19, 2013 at 11:11am: I have a daughter moving to the Seabees on Friday!! She is sad to leave her current command but very excited about the new opportunity!

Comment by deniseMatt'smom on March 3, 2013 at 2:06am: Welcome to Gulfport, my son is a BU, his PIR was 12-21, he loves it there!!! If you have any question feel free to ask there are a lot of experienced Moms here!

Comment by Sandria on March 2, 2013 at 10:57pm: Hi all....my son had PIR 3/1 also, he is now in Ft Leonardwood for his A school (EO). Sounds like his actual schooling will not begin until 2/13. What do they do while they are waiting?
