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."

It's not a good idea to post a pic of your Sailor every time you post. See change 4 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). Also make change 3 while you are there. There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes. Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP code to one that is not easily associated with your Sailor.

Got a text from my son last night. He said he's not selling the bed after all.  He said it wasn't a quality mattress & there's broken springs & flat spots where he usually sleeps!  Guess it was only good for the year he was there LOL.

It's a queen size bed.

We should try to work something out - my son has a bed (only 1 year old) a dresser, a nightstand and they have a 50" TV that they are selling.  He graduates from proto on 1/23 and will be leaving right away but if your son is interested maybe we could find a way for mine to get pictures to you and he could maybe leave the stuff somewhere (or with one of his buddies) and your son could get it. He's not looking to charge much - just some gas money I think!  The TV is the most valuable item.  Let me know if you would be interested.

Welcome andimc14!  I see you joined Nuke Moms.  You might also want to join "Nuke School Charleston".  It's not as active but still has lots of good info.  Make sure you look in the "Discussion Forum" of both groups - especially the "Surviving Nuke School" and "Your Sailors Schedule Upon Arrival...."  Both can answer lots of questions you may have!
