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."

I am so happy to hear! Thanks Cath Bubblehead mom
Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on October 11, 2015 at 9:27am

Nereida - My son said he was impressed with your son. In his words - "

He doesn't talk back, and he always has his notes...very respectful for someone who doesn't have his fish. I don't know what division he's in, but he seems alright If he keeps on track he'll be a good submariner!

Thought you'd like to know!

Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on October 10, 2015 at 10:10pm
That's great - I'll have to ask him about it!
Comment by Nereida on October 10, 2015 at 9:37pm
Cath Bubblehead mom - My son mentioned that he met your son! That's was exciting to hear!
Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on September 3, 2015 at 9:07pm

Nereida - I sent you a message :-)

Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on September 3, 2015 at 9:06pm

There is also a FB page for the Maryland and the Family Readiness Group. My son shares very little also. My Son did a ride along with another boat to get his "quals", but is now back with the MD.

Comment by Margavant28 on September 3, 2015 at 9:02pm
This is all new to me. My son has been in school for over 2 years. He also does not share very often. I am lucky if I hear from him once a month. I have always relied on Navy 4 Moms for info.

HA! That's the million $ question! Last I heard it was going to be into 2016. BAH stops in November (Thats the basing allowance for VA) So, families have either moved or will be moving by November. Sailors & the boat will be later in 2016

Comment by Margavant28 on September 3, 2015 at 8:52pm
Does anyone know when the crew will all be in Georgia?
Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on September 3, 2015 at 8:51pm

Yes the boat is in VA - but some families have transitioned to GA already.
