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."

Wish I could go there too...we're on the opposite coast!

Hey thanks for that ProudNavyMom.  That just kind of made me feel a little closer to my boy.  I'm a little jealous of you all for getting to go there.  Now I'm hungry for some of that thin crust pizza.

Oggi's has the best thin crust pizza... it's seems almost good for you. Yum!

Does your son know someone that has a last name that starts with an O?  They might know each other already.  My sailor says they like to eat at a place named Oh Gee or something like that.  I think it's a sports bar.  He likes the comradery, and the TV's, but he doesn't drink.  I'm glad the Navy is strict on under age drinking. His dad didn't feel that way when he was in Vietnam.

Maybe they have already!   lol.   She was working in the galley while on hold between schools.  She's about to begin her 3rd week of C School.

I'm so glad that my S is in SD for Sonar.  He is doing so well and loving it.  Glad your sailor is too.  We need them to meet.
Comment by d o on May 14, 2011 at 9:38pm
I'm glad to hear she found a job that was a better fit.  That will make life more enjoyable for her.

My Sailor had her PIR in April of 2010.  She went to Goose Creek in the NUKE program but struggled through that to the point where she was dropped.  She's now in SD in sonar program.   She loves it and feels it was a good move.
Comment by d o on May 13, 2011 at 2:48am

ProudNavyMom, I just realized in was called Point Loma, so I know what you mean.  Did she graduate boot camp 9-10-10?  That's when we were in GL.

My sailor just got Petty Officer.  Yeah!, His 1st raise.
