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."

Hello
We look forward to hearing about your sailors journey. How he/she likes being an MAA (MA) and which kind of job they are doing and how you are doing knowing what your sailor does for a living.
NOTE: Please help keep our sailors safe. Don't give out exact locations.Example: If he/she is in Iraq you can say Iraq but I would not say the name of the camp or a town near the camp. If they are on a ship don't give the last known location. Although some of that is public we don't in anyway want to jeopardize them.

Kim - Ok, I hope to find out right after ROM. Ugh my boy back in ROM!! I hope he’s able to talk to friends to lift each other up.
Comment by kim's husband Troy on September 30, 2020 at 10:00am

VintageGal - He is 419

Comment by VintageGal on September 29, 2020 at 7:56pm
Kim- I believe it’s all changed someone was telling me he’ll be in a 400 DIV. Kristel2400 said that she got a call from her SR after he got out of ROM so hopefully we’ll be able to communicate with him about that after he gets out. Ugh
what DIV is your SR?
Comment by kim's husband Troy on September 29, 2020 at 4:26pm

vintageGal - did your SR's extra ROM cause him to have to switch TG's, ship, and division? Have been curious how that works?

Comment by VintageGal on September 28, 2020 at 5:34pm
C’smom2020 - Hi, it looks like my son has the same schedule as yours. He had to go back into quarantine which pushed him back a couple weeks so I believe he’ll be graduating the week of October 22 or the following week but nevertheless I’m sure they will meet :)
Comment by C'sMom on September 28, 2020 at 5:15pm

I just joined this group, and I see some familiar names.  Our SR's PIR date is 10/29.  Then he's going to San Antonio.  Kim, our SRs may get to know each other well since it looks like they are the same PIR and A school.

Comment by kim's husband Troy on September 11, 2020 at 7:59am

our sons bc graduation date should be toward the end of October. His ROM hopefully ends 9/15

Comment by FSU#1GoNoles on September 10, 2020 at 8:59pm

@VintageGal - absolutely!

Comment by VintageGal on September 10, 2020 at 8:54pm
My son’s date is 10/9 :) if not at RTC they’ll definitely meet in Texas!
Comment by FSU#1GoNoles on September 10, 2020 at 8:44pm

@VinatgeGal - awesome! My son’s expected grad date is 10/1. What about you?
