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 iwagot on September 3, 2011 at 1:58pm: Got a letter yesterday dated Monday that said they would be doing Marlinspike this week! And my SR was very excited that they are half way through. On the downhill to PIR! Can't wait to see her!

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on September 3, 2011 at 11:59am: Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the great advice and that is kinda how I felt but wanted some imput.

Comment by Micaela (AO Wife) on September 3, 2011 at 11:17am: 26 days until we head to PIR!!!!

Comment by diannep on September 3, 2011 at 10:31am: DRod'sMom: I agree with the ladies. I would not tell him, unless you feel in your heart that you must. How much better it would be to be able to tell him at PIR that she had successful heart surgery and all is well. You can always tell him that it was strongly recommended to you by Navy support groups to not do this and the reason why. Negative news just has to be kept from them now, if at all possible. They have to remain so focused on what they are doing.

Prayers for his grandma and her surgery...that all will be fine and good news will be shared after PIR with your son.

ZZsMom is correct. The immediate family issue doesn't include grandparents. I remember checking that out before my son left too.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on September 3, 2011 at 1:17am: DRod's The phone number for the Public Affairs Office-(POA) is: 847-688-2405

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on September 3, 2011 at 1:05am: DRod's. I agree with ZZsmom. I think it is a bad idea to tell your son now while he is stressed out trying to get through boot camp. Finding out about his Gamma's operation could upset him and he would lose focus. There is nothing your son can do about his Gamma. It would only make him feel helpless as he can't be with her. Trust me. Your son will understand why you didn't tell him.

This sort of thing happens all the time. You can also notify POA of the situation. They can have a Chaplain there for him after Battle Stations if needed.

Comment by desireenavygf (Ship 11 DIV 322) on September 3, 2011 at 12:01am: I agree with the ladies I wouldn't tell him until after pir. It will only worry him and there is nothing they can do froM bootcamp and yes the form letter does state they don't give leave for grandparents.

Comment by 1stlove (02/946) on September 2, 2011 at 11:41pm: Me too don't tell till after I know it's hard for us sometimes but truly all ur SR can do is stress and you don't this to him/her back

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on September 2, 2011 at 11:27pm: Hello ladies, so I have a question. My SR's Gma has to have heart surgery before he completes bc, do I call and tell him or do I wait for PIR and risk him being angry? He is close to her as we live with her. And what if god forbid something went wrong. I really need advice. I don't want to put pressure on him or worry him but...what do you all think ? Thanks

Comment by desireenavygf (Ship 11 DIV 322) on September 2, 2011 at 8:29pm: Hello Ladies I hope everyone is doing well... Havn't been see much talk so hope everyone is making it through this :) 26 days to go ladies yyyeeeeaaahhhhh
