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."

Kim,  I know just how you feel;  it has been a tough week.  Hard to sleep, hard to concentrate, hard to get things done.  This is not a normal situation so it is understandable that it is difficult to learn how to deal with it.  Hang in there.  I am praying for all our sailors as that seems to be all I can do for now.  And taking deep breaths.  A lot of deep breaths.

Kim, I just finished reading your info and if your daughter is an MA she is with my son Ben at Atsugi....Ben is an MA and he has been at Atsugi for the last 2.6 years...The MA's are a tight group and I know they have each other's back. We will be strong and send that strength to them thru our bond with our children...stay strong I am sure they are very busy right now..

Kim, my name is Joan otherwise navymom41 and my son is at Atsugi as well..He is an MA/security so I haven't heard from him since his day off on Thursday as there is much going on.  Please know you are not alone. Our children are very important to us but we must have faith and be strong for them during this stressful time. I know the Navy will protect them and make decisions to guard their safety. I am worried as well about his girlfriend who is a Japanese National and will not be able to go with him if evacuated. So please remember you are not alone in this and I am here if you need to talk. If I get any info I will let you know and if you will do the same I would appreciate it. Again, you are not alone. Take care..

Hello! Please remove the last names in the post on the 900s site. Thank you.

Kimmydee: I had to remove your post about your daughter's letter because you used last names of some of the other recruits. We can't do that ever on this site...no last names. It is a military rule...this is a public site and it is for the protection of the military. I'm SO sorry that I had to remove it...I wish I could have gone in just to edit the names out, but this site won't let me do that. Can you please post again about your daughter's letter, but this time, don't use the names of the other recruits? You can use first initials if you like. Again, so sorry but as creator of the site, I have to make sure the rules are being followed.
