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 Vonecia(Seabee)SHIP07/DIV327 on August 23, 2011 at 7:26pm: Thank you ladies. hopefully he will be so happy to see me that he wont notice. Hehe. Also ladies I got a phone call today but it was a info call but still I got one last week too so thats 2 weeks in a row that I got call. he sounded happy but not like he missed me :( lol I was mad. you ladies are the best in texas

Comment by quiltblue on August 23, 2011 at 5:50pm: Voneica... Blessings to you and your children! Please go to your husband's PIR. When you married him, you became his family! The bible tells us that a man shall leave his Father and Mother and cleave unto his wife, right? Make sure he knows that you will ALWAYS AND IN ALL WAYS be there for him! Don't attach any negativity to his parents, or sister not going. If they want to be there, they will be. Don't invite trouble. If your husband wants them there, he will write to them and ask them and will get the answer from them directly. Enjoy your time with him! Give him a TEXAS MOM GROUP HUG from all of us!

Comment by jle0377 on August 23, 2011 at 5:19pm: Hi all - I'm a proud Texas Mom and my son left for bootcamp yesterday :)

Comment by HC Mom (Mayport, FL) on August 23, 2011 at 9:20am: Vonecia~Please take Eaglemom's advise. I will also add that when writing during boot camp to keep your letters on a positive note. Don't add to his stress.

Comment by Brenda72 on August 23, 2011 at 9:00am: I know I wish I could be at my son's PIR this Friday but can't due to not having the money to go.....He Pir Friday and then flies out on Sat....lot of money to spend for one day and 15 hours to drive one way...not to mention having to drop 1,000 in legal fees for his father taking me to court for his back child support he owes....sorry had to vent to somebody...lol.....that's ok because I am going to FL to see him hopefully in his A school!

Comment by Vonecia(Seabee)SHIP07/DIV327 on August 22, 2011 at 11:23pm: and they have 6 weeks advance notice

Comment by Vonecia(Seabee)SHIP07/DIV327 on August 22, 2011 at 11:22pm: Hi ladies I need some advice. although I am umemployed stay at home mom I will make it to my husbands graduation by any means needed with our 2 kids and we're driving. but his parents and sister say that they will not go because they have to "work" even though they call in every week atleast once or twice because they are "sick" catch my drift? they say the trip is long and that he will be ok without them and that they've been to every major accomplishment in his life and they dont have to be there, which is the biggest piece of crap I've ever heard because I know he really wants to see them. should I write and tell him that they cant come or dont say anything and let him see at PIR? I KNOW HE WILL BE HURT EITHER WAY

Comment by Colten's Mom-Nuke A school 1207A on August 22, 2011 at 8:14pm: The meet and greet in Georgetown is Saturday the 27th at Zios in Wolf Ranch at 2pm.
