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."

Comment by Bandit1998 on May 11, 2014 at 3:14pm: Hi Jimmy Sue: So glad you are in our group. Us Texas Folks have to stick together! I wouldn't worry too much about the psych eval....The Navy is The Navy and even though we don't understand why they do certain things, they know why..LOL! I am sure you son is fine, probably just extremely homesick. My grandson was so emotional when he got to call home, I think everyone in the house was bawling! It will get better. Some of these young men and women have never been away from home except for maybe a week-end of overnight and all this new stuff they are learning can be overwhelming. Just keep up the letter writing and before you know it...PIR will be here and hopefully you will be able to watch him graduate. Ours will be June 20th and you can believe me that we already have our plane reservations, hotel and rental car reserved.

Comment by Jimmy Sue on May 11, 2014 at 2:47pm: We are from Arlington. My son has been to MEPS for initial medical processing. He passed everything but they want him to go back for psych eval. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or an idea why he would be asked to do this? He has never had any psychological problems. They told him it was nothing to be concerned about.

Comment by Bandit1998 on May 11, 2014 at 8:29am: Hello to all you Texas Gulf Coast Moms: We finally received our phone call from our S/R recruit yesterday and tears were all flowing! It was so good to hear from him and so emotional! He is doing great - just very homesick. His first three weeks will be ending Tuesday, so he must be deep in learning how to be a sailor. The entire family is sending letters to keep him close. We will all be in Great Lakes on June 20th to watch them all graduate. How very proud we are of all of our young men and women who decided to serve their country and start the first steps in life.

Hope to meet some of you there. Check out Sarge's "Meet and Greet" on Thursday, June 19th.
