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 JerseySusan on October 28, 2013 at 3:18pm

It is Sooo Nice to hear when parents are well taken care of with communication by the Commanding Officers of the boat!!! It does send a comforting message to us all.

I know sdrnrnrn....I was so taken aback by that gesture.  At first I thought something horrible had happened to him.  My first thought was car accident.  But, it was still so kind and thoughtful a call.  One came after they hit Japan just to ask if my son had called me to tell  me he was OK.

Comment by sdrnrnrn on October 28, 2013 at 12:06pm

I just wanted to thank the COB for taking the time to call me.  His first call was to tell me that my son had arrived safely aboard the sub and was getting settled.   A few months later I received another call to inform me that my son was doing well and working towards his Dolphins.  Thanks Chief

Hi mom4one, I'm in the same place you are except he has emailed me said he is very busy tring to get his Dolphins and qualified on the sub and that's a lot of work with only about 4 hours sleep a night. Thankful my son made lots of older sub friends that has kept me posted on what to expect. Maybe I can relay some info to you. Feel free to email me. Because I know, the he will be ok is just not enough for us worrying moms.

Mom4one......Don't be nervous.....They are all good....I know how you feel, in the very beginning I was nervous too, & had a lot of tears. I see you joined the group "Sub Mom's". Great group that has "A TON" of info written under their "Pages" to the right of their comment wall, that will help you feel at ease. Their Administrators of that group are loaded with info. I will give you a heads up to let you know when they are back so you can try to communicate with him on the Ombudsman list & getting him to sign up for their "Sub" email before they head out the next time.
