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."

EJ - Thanks!
Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on November 24, 2013 at 10:21pm

Thanks EJ - I know I will not be as anxious. I was afraid that he would sabotage his success - but as they say no news is good news! Once he graduates, I'll be more at ease - I know that sounds strange. He will eventually be on a sub, I wasn't sure what if any contact he will have. He will be in the computer field, so I'm guessing he would have access :-)

I understand there are some Groton or sub groups here, I will try to find those as well!

Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on November 24, 2013 at 9:40pm

Donna - my sailor is still a SR in Bootcamp. If all goes well PIR is in 2 weeks - then he is supposed to be in Groton and eventually assigned to a sub.

The lack of communication has been difficult during BC, and I was wondering what happens once they are actually at sea.

I am new to this, and hopefully will be more help in the coming year to the CT group. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this!

Comment by Donna on November 24, 2013 at 9:12pm

Cath Ship  no, my sailor is on the Makin island.  Is your son on the sub?

Comment by Donna on November 24, 2013 at 9:11pm

Prayforthesailors,

Thank you.  We do so well because everyone came together to make it happen.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on November 24, 2013 at 4:04pm
Do any of the CT moms have sailors on a sub?
Comment by prayforthesailors on November 24, 2013 at 8:54am

Wow Donna, that is amazing.  Thank you again for your tireless efforts on behalf of those very deserving men and women!  Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Comment by Donna on November 20, 2013 at 7:06pm

Happy Dance being down by me here in CT!  Why you ask?

I've dropped off my 186 Large Military Boxes and 3 Very large boxes!!   Phew, glad that's behind me!

I'd like to shout out a BIG thank you to the Monroe Post Office here in CT especially Carlos that helped my husband and my son's friend unload all the boxes from our Yukon and cars.  They had to work on the boxes from 8:30 am until 3:40!

I'd like to thank the Naval Veterans Club here in CT and all the wonderful people that helped with the donations. Because of so many caring people the sailors and the coast guardsman aboard the USS Rentz will have experience  some Christmas magic this season.
