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."

EllenSD...r, I see you have changed your Username so that it no longer contains your last name; you also need to change the URL to this page. Make change 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile)  (clickable link) to take care of that. (If you are using a Smart phone, you will need to switch to Desktop View to make this change.)
Also make change 3 while you are there so that this page is no longer open to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web.I suggest "Just My Friends" due to your Sailor's NOS.
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 you or your Sailor.

I also suggest changes 6 and 7.

Oh thank you, I will see that she gets that. What an awesome thing. I will also post this on the Seabee site...

Awesome... I am so happy for her and of course you too. Now you will sleep so much better and soon have the contact you have longed for with her.  Bravo Zulu!

Please do, I know she will do this, you have to faith for her and for you. You are a Navy mom and prior Navy. You know what it takes and also how bad you must want this to come this far. My kiddo is a CE. She is part of the Seabee's. She loves her job and her bee family. You girl will also, and will yes be great once at A-school.

I want to say it is the USS A. Burke. (I can not spell it forgive me). It has been what seems like forever ago. Poor girl, I know things get to them and then they just refuse to go to medical. Mine had an ankle injury early on, then got sick, (thought she was over it) then got sicker... It was pretty bad when she was finally set back. She had an infection that turned in cysts. Once over that (they had to cut one out and drain another then some very heavy and strong antibiotics) she was getting back to good. Until all the stress settled in and she ebded up with a jaw issue. This is however not something she was going to let stop her. She still to this day has the jaw problem, and lives with it. She was told (funny now) you do not need a jaw to serve your country!

The RDC's in RCU/FIT are awesome. They want to see your girl move on, not move back. They will work with her, a bit low key there, they have the chance to  get healthy.

They call each week and if doing well they will call mid week, mine were almost always a 40 min call.

What is your daughters rate?

At 5:03pm on February 10, 2011, Tobianne said…
I believe she may be in ship 6. That is unless ship 4 is back up and running. She is most likely in the FIT div. now. Give her a day or so and she will call and give you an address. They are great in RCU/FIT. Do you know if it was injury or illness? Or just not able to make the run?  Any way I can help let me know, and for some assurance, it can and will end in a good way. My daughter did and she is now done with A-school (in TX) now at Gulfport awaiting her ECS school.
