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."

My son leaves for boot camp on March 25 2014. Does anyone else have a son leaving then? He is flying there from Florida.

You may not be able to get more info by calling due to HIPAA regulations. Your SR would have.to sign a consent form in order for you to receive medical information about him.

Thank you Julians mom and lemonelephant!! Its really hard to find this out and not know how he is doing. But I guess the saying goes " No news is good news". What division are your children in?

I am a seasoned member on the site. I have had a Sailor for over 5 1/2 years.

Check your My Page.

Ineville I hope you SR is better. I know how hard it is not being able to pick up that phone and call our SR's and see how they are doing. I am praying that you get good news soon. Did you go to Jacksonville on the 25th? My husband, son's girlfriend, and myself went and I think we chatted when we were waiting. Does a conversation about a social security card ring a bell?

My son left 25 March 2014 also. My heart sank as we drove away leaving him from that huge government building in Houston TX. He is so excited. Have heard from him three times. Have received one letter. I write him every week! He will be flying to Florida afterwards for Aviation training.

nellyped:  I know that exact feeling!  My son left Ft. Meade, MD on 3/25 and will be going to Florida after PIR for Aviation training too.  Hope they are making friends with each other.  Can I mention your son to my son?  What is his last name if I may ask?

Please do not share last names openly. If you feel the need to share, please do so in a PM through the site after friending each other.
I have not shared my son's name with anyone. I remembered reading something like that earlier on. I will msg Laura731 separate.
:o)
