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."

Jo call me yesterday to let me know that he start ATT last night.  His classes are from 6-12 midnight.  Other than that no news, what is good news.  Now just praying to see if we can go and visit him during summer.

Excellent! That means that IB started too probably. Thanks for sharing as I didn't know!

Hey I didn't know either... I have been very busy and N has been trying to text me...I am sooooo swamped with school and advisor stuff and I felt so guilty not getting back to him! He has his new girlfriend visiting him...she is on leave and he was going to bring her home to meet us, but he is on duty on Sat. This is a whole new experience...I think she just graduated A school and I think is going to Norfolk...never a dull moment in our house...that's for sure!

Penny....nice to hear from you.  Not to dig in a lot but new? that mean not to long ago or they meet on base?  So she is in the Navy too?  Right now waiting to talk to Jo tomorrow.  He call me to let me know (he knows mom) about classes in case I send a text and don't reply.  I will ask more questions tomorrow and keep you posted.

thanks Rose, you check it out and keep the rest of us informed! Apparently you did something SO much righter than me. :-)

just kidding, but I do appreciate the info. Hopefully IB had a great birthday today. I was in a class, and when I called him there was no answer, so I sang him happy birthday on his message machine. Tear...tear...I am now getting a low battery message so am signing off.

My A didn't class up - he and I think N and D were working in the new building and weren't present so will have to wait a couple of weeks I believe to start ATT.  Glad J was able to begin ATT Rose.  I hope IB had a good birthday too Nancy.  I had heard from Ash that N had a girlfriend that he had met in BC.  So she is visiting Groton - guess it wasn't just a BC fling!  Keep us posted!  Saw your pics from the performance Nancy - looks like a fun play!  Hope tonight goes well.  ((Hugs)) Nancy missing your Sailor on his birthday!

Nancy......You did an awesome job with I.  Is what Lori said, from our group just Jo start ATT.   When they came around asking for who want to star, he was around.  He said classes are ok, a lot of computer.  He sound very happy and looking for our next trip.  We talk about details for the trip, I'm going to do reservations and now just praying that is God will.  Yay!!!

Rose, I spoke with IB and he said that he and J are both in class. J at "night"and him in the"day". So they are not together. He said that they are the only two from the N4M group that have classed up so far. The rest should not be far behind.
