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."

Comment by navymommo on September 22, 2011 at 10:05am: Phoebe, thanks for the info. He just started, so we will hold on for a bit to see if he gets phase 3. Problem is that we need to get air about 7-8 weeks ahead to afford it!

Grateful for any guidance!

Comment by d o on September 21, 2011 at 7:32pm: My sailor is coming home next week!!!! I just stocked up the pantry.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on September 21, 2011 at 7:09pm: navymommo, You just never know if your sailor will have the time off or not. If they have classed up they have more free time. Also, they could get duty at the last minute. Better if you wait until they are on "holds", between class. We planned on a four day weekend that he had just at the end of one of his classes. Ended up having a duty the Friday after we arrived on the day we wanted to visit the Wild Animal Park. The duty ended up being "passing of the flag" ceremony for a retiring Petty Officer. See my photo. Ya just never know whats going to happen. We had a great time at the ceremony and talked to some wonderful teachers that my sailor had. Just enjoy what you get...

Comment by ProudNavyMom on September 21, 2011 at 12:17pm: My daughter finished her Adjunct class...#1 in class. So tickled. She's finished for now with any classes. Would be assigned a ship at this point if she weren't expecting. For now, she's assigned to work at the base post office! lol.

Comment by navymommo on September 21, 2011 at 12:05pm: Has anyone visited while their sailor was in school? We would be coming from a distance and I am worried about the amount of time he can spend with us. I would include a weekend. Any suggestions?

Comment by ProudNavyMom on September 14, 2011 at 11:27pm: Thanks, D.O. She doesn't know what her new assignment will be until next week. It will be shore duty since she's expecting but she is certain she will stay in San Diego.

Comment by d o on September 14, 2011 at 11:11pm: I hope the delay isn't too long. Did she get an assignment she's happy with?

Comment by ProudNavyMom on September 14, 2011 at 4:51pm: Oh Darn... we were expecting a visit home from my daughter on Sept. 30th. However, on Monday, they graduate their last class and her command will change almost immediately. They don't want to approve leave that she will use after she changes to another command. She'll still get to come, just a change of dates most likely. : (

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on September 14, 2011 at 2:43pm: Phoebe... that info is correct.

Oggi's is a great place to go if you visit SD. They have good pizza., and sushi.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on September 14, 2011 at 11:58am: d o, My son was going to come home for 10 days last May and use 5 days harp. The deal was he had go to his old high school and rct. Most schools are closed during "holiday break". So you really need to look into this.
