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 DramaSoul on July 10, 2012 at 1:33am: Thanks, Dads, for the recommendation to watch "Carrier". When I mentioned it to my son, he said he has watched it and was gonna tell me about it. He asked me where I heard about it and I told him "Dads on Moms". This sparked a whole new discussion. Saw the first episode and looking forward to the rest of it!!

Comment by BowflexLA -SeaBee on July 9, 2012 at 10:59pm: I've noticed we dads don't talk a lot. We do a lot of reading I suppose. I don't ever post on the dad site because we are too shy, lol.

Comment by abbyblue on July 9, 2012 at 10:46pm: where are all the dads ?

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on July 9, 2012 at 6:36pm: Concernedad - my hubby cringed when I told him about you putting the cards in the spokes! Ha Ha, but I think I remember him telling me that he did the same thing when he was a kid too......

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on July 9, 2012 at 6:34pm: Hi everyone - if anyone out there is from the Inland Empire (Southern California) we are having a lunch get together this Saturday, 7/14, in Rialto. If you want more info you can check the "Inland Empire of SoCal Navy Moms" group. Hope to see you there!

Comment by Rod on July 9, 2012 at 3:28pm: My son does the same thing with his mother. He sounds annoyed and then he starts giving more information than you want to know.

Comment by JackFlash on July 9, 2012 at 1:19pm: Oh for sure... ASK. Even if he seems annoyed at times by your questions, he'll know deep inside that you ask, because you care. That you are a concerned Dad, interested in his life. Maybe he just needs a little time to unwind, the he might open up. Good luck-- don't give up!

Comment by DramaSoul on July 9, 2012 at 10:51am: I have been asking my son questions and he does answer them as he is home on leave. If he is tired of the questions he let's me know! 'Enough questions already Mom!'. Of course he has just completed Corpsman school and we have been in touch via text and phone so we have been talking sort of. I am guessing his girlfriend knows more about what's going on than I do.

Comment by Concernedad on July 9, 2012 at 10:13am: thoughts....so my son came home on leave yesterday and I've got about 10,000 questions for him. He's not one to talk much, nor have we heard from him while he was gone.

Am I better off leaving him alone, or is it ok to grill him? I feel like it's my only chance to learn what's going on.

Of course I only understand about half of what he tells me, and that's due to me being here.

Comment by Denise - browns57 on July 9, 2012 at 8:23am: Was on vacation last week & never got on the computer. How could you Concernedad?

You know I'm from Columbus, Ohio!
