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."

My son went in on August 1st.  I know it is most likely still way too early to hear from other moms with family in this ship/div number but I would love to hear from you!  We can give each other support!

I just saw your comment about being a Vet.  Thank you for your service, but since you are not currently serving and did not retire after 20 or more years of service, you will need to be on the Access List to get in without waiting.  Take care and blessings to you and yours.

What has your son's experience in bootcamp been like?

laurasue,  I am still trying to figure out how to use this site.  Anyway, I found your comment back that your son is in the same ship & division as my son.  Have you gotten any phone calls yet? I get a letter each week, but so far no calls since his initial one on arrival.  I am so glad we only have appx 19 more days until we can see them!

Hi. Nice to make your acquaintance. My step daughter has been in the navy for a year and half now. She is a cryptologist,(naval intelligence), and is stationed in Virginia Beach. Joining the navy was a great decision. Boot camp can be tough on families, but I just can't explain the pride you'll feel when he graduates. Amazing.
