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."

ask your friends and family now if they can send additional mail for anyone not getting any letters at bootcamp.  Tell them to put an "X" up by their return mail addy if it's mail you can pass on unopened.  I wrote to 2 other recruits in our son's group almost 4 years ago--they needed a word from a friendly person.

Glad to have you here.  I'm a Carmel High grad. Know my thoughts are with you as you head to boot camp.

Hi, "Elizabeth," and welcome to Indiana Moms! I'm the administrator for the group, so if you have any questions, please ask. My son is a Nuke MM serving on the submarine ALABAMA, based out of Bangor, WA. He's been in for five years.

Please know, there's a monthly informal dinner in Avon (on the west side) which meets on third Mondays. I'll be putting next year's dinners on the Events calendar (right-hand column) soon, so click on any 3rd Monday for those details. From time to time, we also have regional gatherings in various parts of the state.

Jump in with any questions or comments you may have. I think you'll find we're a nice bunch of folks and always willing to lend an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Hugs! k.

You may also want to check out the Pensacola A school page, as I believe that is where you will go after Boot Camp.
