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."

Thanks for sharing your heart-warming story. Your nephew went way of his way to find Tim, as I've been toTim's base and it's NOT close to the "main" base in SD! What a morale booster for Tim.

I wanted to post a picture of the Quarterdeck but I can't cuz I'm on the laptopll...anyway it's just an office building about 4 stories, first floor is administrative and the other floors are all the sonar classrooms.

Tim is really doing good on his tests! His is enjoying SD yet? Has he settled in and calmed down? Matt grew to love SD and hated leaving.....

Comment by Dianne on November 5, 2008 at 10:48am: Jeanne, welcome to the group, tell us about your sailor.

Comment by Dianne on November 2, 2008 at 9:22pm: GOOD NEWS Tim got all his paperwork signed and turned in!!! I hope they approve it, because we went ahead and bought the tickets so they wouldn't go up in price any more!!

Comment by Dianne on October 26, 2008 at 11:33am: Welcome Pat!! Sounds like your son is doing awesome!!! As Melissa said, let us know how he does on the chief test!

I spoke with my son Tim twice yesterday. We've been working on his flights home for Chirstmas. He is worried about getting the paperwork done for his leave. He said, it seems the times that he can get all his signatures is the time while he is in class. When he called back the second time he was very home sick and worried about coming home. I just keep telling him to ask questions and find the right people who can help, but like a man, he doesn't want to ask for help. Good news is, he has passed all the tests he has taken, this coming week they have two tests. So I hope he does well with both!

Comment by Dianne on October 23, 2008 at 1:48pm: It would be great if all the new members would tell us about their sailor!!

Comment by Dianne on October 23, 2008 at 1:48pm: WELCOME, LUIS!

Comment by Dianne on October 22, 2008 at 11:24pm: WELCOME TO THE GROUP STARR!!!

Comment by Dianne on October 18, 2008 at 5:21pm: Hi Mom of Many, my son just completed week 2 of his training, he PIR'd on 9/26. He is loving San Diego, they went to Sea World today. My son is only 18, will be 19 on Oct 29th, his roommate is 23 and I just have to hope and pray that he keeps out of trouble. Hi roommate is still awaiting his security clearance and has more time on his hands than Tim does. Tim preferes to stay on base and hang out in his room so far...hope it stays that way. Welcome to the group Mom of Many, there are ladies in here who's son's have graduated and are in the fleet and others who are still waiting to class up. Congrats on your new sailor! I'm sure he will love San Diego!
