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."

Natasha Called !!

I received a call from my Daughter and as excited I was to hear her voice, it was'nt a personal call. The navy had her call me for ALOT of back ground information on our family, places we lived, marriage dates, Schools and references. I dont understand why they are asking now, I thought this was all taken care of during the 6 months she was waiting to leave for bootcamp? My poor daughter was crying ( she's homesick ) and stressed out. I felt so bad for her because I know how tough bootcamp is already and felt so bad she is going through the extra stress. Has this happend to any other Moms? I was able to collect everything they asked for and Emailed it to them last night, but again I thought this was done before she left....But the POSITIVE, I got to speak to my little girl! Whoo Hoo !!!

Comment by DisneyDebi (02/903) on October 14, 2011 at 3:11pm: Bittersweet I'm sure - happy to hear her voice and yet stressful to hear her crying. I'm sure she misses you too! But the positive was most definitely the sound of her voice! I'm happy for you!

Comment by GirlsGoneNavy on October 14, 2011 at 3:23pm: thank you, yes today is a much beeter day now that I got to hear her voice :) I went to the post office and bought stamps for the MANY letters I'm sending her, its been so long since i bought stamps, it kind of felt wierd.

Comment by Diver Mom on October 14, 2011 at 4:17pm: I am glad to hear that you had an extra chance to talk to her. Hearing her cry had to be real hard on you too. I would have started myself. She will get through this and it will just make her that much better of a person than she already is. My heart goes out to both of you.

Comment by GirlsGoneNavy on October 14, 2011 at 8:06pm: Diver Mom, yes right after I got off the phone with my daughter, I sat down and broke down....but I'm better today :)

Comment by DisneyDebi (02/903) on October 14, 2011 at 8:12pm: What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger...or so they say! Hugs to you!!!
