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 Julia373 on September 3, 2014 at 11:51am: It is so nice to meet you ladies. I'm so new at all of this so forgive me if I ask a lot of crazy questions. I hope that my son is able to meet up with some Texans while in SC. Do you all know how long they will have off at Thanksgiving?

Comment by VKat on September 3, 2014 at 10:49am: Julia,

My son PIR'd in February and is now in Power school. We are from Houston so not close by. My son is always looking for fellow Texans. Some other kids there give him a hard time( in good fun) because he often wears "Texas" t-shirts and is very picky about his BBQ and Mexican food. Lol

Comment by Julia373 on September 3, 2014 at 9:18am: Good Morning Texas Ladies,

My name is Julia and I'm from the Waco area. Anyone else close by? My son just PIR on 8-22 and is now in A school in Charleston, SC.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Comment by Q'sMom ~ Dee on September 2, 2014 at 8:32pm: Anyone planning to be at the San Antonio MEPS with their SR tomorrow (3 Sep). Would love to meet you and have a face to go with the name :-) PM me, if possible. Thx!

Comment by Nana51 on August 26, 2014 at 10:00pm: We are from Pearland, south of Hobby Airport.

Comment by Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on August 25, 2014 at 4:14pm: I didn't receive a single letter beyond my form letter. They kept those kids busy. They'll be adjusting to running, recovering from the crud, and staying up for watch at night.

Comment by 1Bodyprof on August 25, 2014 at 3:56pm: Marks Mom: Yes, it will be better! We missed our 2nd call and in the next letter he said "I hope you understood me because I got choked up.". He graduated a couple of weeks ago and is so very happy with his choice.

Comment by LisaMAmom on August 24, 2014 at 5:05pm: My first real call received yesterday. Was about a 10-12 minute call. My son is very homesick and his voice was cracking. He said he is okay and I have to believe that he is. He sounded very tired. Sending out letters everyday but he has not received any yet. I hear that the next call should be a better call. I'll hang on to that.

Comment by tsufish on August 18, 2014 at 5:57pm: We had a great time Saturday. Would love to do it again next month! Please message me if you would like to join us. Probably the weekend of the 20 or 27 and need suggestions on where to go!

Comment by LisaMAmom on August 18, 2014 at 3:50pm: Namracycart- my son left Aug 12.i was very surprised the letter and box came on same day, but sooooo glad. Just seeing his handwriting thrilled me. You will receive your form letter very soon, I'm sure. Maybe today!
