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."

Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry I forgot. Brian graduated this weekend. He had overnight liberty for the whole weekend. He has lost a lot of weight. He is coming home in Dec before he ships out to Cal. His ship is the USS Chancelorville.

Hey this is the closest to face book that I get. Do you remember if you had any mom's in your group that didn't recieve a phone call or letters from their kids? This is the end of week 4 and I have a mom that hasn't heard from her son yet. Got 3 letters from Brian yesterday and he was more up beat but the group was still having a hard time coming together. They have talkers in the group and they are having a hard time marching.

As a new member, you will have many questions. Join the New Moms Stop Here group immediately. For new members, this group will be your safe haven - we will support you through those tough weeks before, during and after boot camp. We have members with various experiences and skills available to help you. PLEASE NOTE: Especially read this BE ON THE LOOKOUT. PRACTICE HAVING "SAFE" FRIENDS. Kayleigh and Gloria are gone now but there are other people to beware of. You should have at least one “conversation” with a person before you accept them as a friend. NOTE: this is not an auto-generated message. You are getting this message from a real live Navy mom.
