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 Philly5 (Justin's proud mom) on May 12, 2011 at 6:59am: Hello WI navy moms. Happy to be a member of this group. I am in Medford which is about an hour northwest of Wausau. I would be interested in the summer get together...thanks!

Comment by Kimberly Joy on May 9, 2011 at 7:44pm: I am glad there are plans already in the works and I am excited to meet you all. I do have a question as I am a new Navy Mom. I am more familiar with all the other branches as my brother and myself were in the Air Force, I have had relatives in the Army and a brother-in-law in the Marines. In all the other branches, either after boot camp or after their schooling, everyone got to come home for at least 1 week to visit family and square things away a little bit. Does that happen in the Navy? So far I am not seeing that happening.

Comment by SimplyJRB-ADs Mom on May 9, 2011 at 5:52pm: Kimberly Joy, so happy you joined us! Hope you had a wonderful time at PIR!!!!

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on May 9, 2011 at 2:05pm: Kimberly Joy - we are planning a get together this summer, you may have to read back a few pages. We tried one this winter but it didnt work for anyone. We are looking at month of July middle of the state.

Welcome

Comment by Kimberly Joy on May 9, 2011 at 7:08am: I would love to see sometime in the future a Wisconsin Navy family get together. It doesn't have to be extravagant; a potluck in a centrally located park in Wisconsin or something like that. It would just be neat to meet face to face a lot of Wisconsin Navy families. Just a thought.

Comment by Kimberly Joy on May 9, 2011 at 6:56am: I just want to introduce myself to the group. I am thrilled there is a site for Mom's from Wisconsin. My son just graduated from boot camp this last weekend and left for A school in Pensacola,Fl early the next morning. I am extremely proud of him. He loved boot camp and is excited for his classes to start in late May. I just want to say hello to the group.
