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."

It's not a good idea to post a pic of your Sailor every time you post. Make changes 3 and 4 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

I see you have joined your PIR group; I also invite you to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) there. Take care and blessings to you and yours.

OH, my goodness, Sheila, I just now saw your friend request :(  Is your son still on the NM? My son is settling in, although it's been a tough road for him, I think. Wow, who knew the process would be so  hard to watch!!?? Please accept my apology for taking so long to respond. An email showed up on my google email account and I was very touched by the content, so I signed back in and there you were!!  My son just got his dolphins...we were alboe to be at the ceremony because they just happened to be in Norfolk. I was able to get my 85 year old dad there, too...I think it meant the world to him. He spent 33 years in the Navy. Take care, hope you and your son are well.

Shelia,

Sorry, I guess that was kinda confusing.  My son is allergic to crabs but oddly enough not all shellfish.  By the way, my name is Cathy.  My husband is getting ready to retire and he's an officer.  I'm just really glad to finally stop moving around and settle down. :)  It's kinda cool that you have two that are willing to serve.  I have 6 kids but only the one in the militarty.  My three youngest are in college and my oldest three are scattered.  But at least they come often or as often as they can.

what a small world.  I lived in Hickory growing up and went to Bel Air High.  My husband lived in Bel Air and also went to Bel Air High.  My son was born in Franklin Square and baptized at St. Matthew Lutheran.  Probably the last time he lived there.  How great to find someone from our home town area.  Nice that your son already has his boat. We are just hoping Chris makes it that far.  He has a seafood allergy that they are looking into.  Get this of all things - crabs!  What kind of kid born in MD to MD parents is allergic to crabs. lol  Well here's hoping.  I've got to take a run up there in a few weeks to take him some chipped beef and gravy.  Pity they don't have Eskay up there.  lol  Gotta get to bed. Night

Hi. I just saw your friend request. Yes, my son will be going to Groton. I have no idea what time he will leave, but I assume it will be sometime on Saturday. I cannot wait until next week so I can see him. I miss him terribly. Are you going to the meet and greet next week? If so, I look forward to meeting you.

Hello thought you would like to know my son just sent a letter, starting to get more, he says they write on tues and thurs now in addition to Sunday's, and it's mandatory!, lol it's not his favorite, but he says they get 25 mins so it's nice, says hes passed all exams, next one though is for everyone, as a team, he added they are all starting to do better;) and it's going fast, just practiced BS's went well for all.

In the letter I got from him last week, he said there is a possibility. He will. Have a week with us after pir, don't really understand, but maybe they wont be ready for them in TX yet?

He sounded, well proud in the call I received, he getting. Through everything great, except. For the run, which he must have done better on, he is one of the sweetest kids, I hope,That is serving him well at BC!

My name is Bobbie and Rayke's last name is Fuller. 

I almost missed talking to him because my stupid phone dropped the call before it answered!  He called his dad, then called me back! 

Our PIR date is iffy now.  Rayke, who is in top physical condition, has tendonitis (shin splints)!!!  He has passed everything else, but running is tanking him.  If he can't pass the running portion, they will keep him another month on "no activities", then let him try again.  Ironically, he is supposed to eventually be stationed on an aircraft carrier.  I'm sure running that mile and a half in 12 minutes will come in handy...  

How is your baby doing?
