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 JayDee659 on February 25, 2020 at 12:27pm: Proud Mom, my SIL's emails come from his Navy email. I believe that they get half way boxes but not sure about other packages. It seems to me that packages are scheduled before the deployment. Maybe a mom with more experience will jump in here.

Comment by Proud Mom on February 25, 2020 at 12:22pm: And when they do eventually email dies it come from his personal email or work email? I'm not sure what to be looking for

Comment by Proud Mom on February 25, 2020 at 12:18pm: Does anyone know, if we can we get things to the subs? I want to send my son stuff but not sure how this works or if even possible

Comment by SubMom on February 25, 2020 at 8:20am: Was wondering if there are any USS Kentucky moms in the group .

Comment by AZNuKeGma on February 24, 2020 at 10:52pm: Daughter got a surprise ph call from Nuke sailor tonight
They are In ....

Something broke on the sub that has to be fixed
They won the corn dog eating contest & there day off reward was the sub surfacing some where in the Bahamas
So they could see sunlight & get to swim
He was not chosen to go stay in a hotel tonight
Bummer
He hopes to catch up on eating this week
That was his only complaint
I’m starving!
They are fed 2 times a day
Good food but not enough he said
The only other mistake he made was he had decided to take a shower when they got underway
He fell in the shower because the sub was diving!
he said he won’t make that mistake again

Comment by SSCMs on February 19, 2020 at 1:04pm: NEW SAILOR TO THE GROTON, CT AREA. Anyone still have family or live in the area?

Comment by Havasu on February 14, 2020 at 3:30pm: bean - Thank you!!

SallyCG - Thank you! That is so exciting to have graduation so close! The graduation at that time of year will be so nice too. It has been great to know where he's going. It's so funny how some classes find out pre-graduation and others after. We overheard so many parents talking with their sailors and asking if they knew when/where they were going and every sailor replied like ours... "Nope!" LOL!

Comment by SallyCG on February 14, 2020 at 3:25pm: Havasua I am so excited for him! Congrats. Mine will hopefully graduate prototype on Memorial Day weekend.... then who knows where. I bet it’s a relief for you to know a place and a ship/sub. Best of luck!!

Comment by bean on February 14, 2020 at 3:22pm: How exciting Havasu! Wish the best for him! :-)

Comment by Havasu on February 14, 2020 at 3:19pm: Hello, all! I thought I'd do a quick intro... My sailor graduated from Prototype in the Nuke program on the 31st of January and just received his orders for Guam and the USS Key West. I'm excited for him to get out into the fleet! He reports sometime in the last half of March.
