The Ten OPSEC and COMSEC Points:

Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
Don't discuss future operations or missions!
Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
Don't discuss specific training equipment!
Don't discuss people's names and billets in conjunction with operations!
Don't speculate about future operations!
Don't spread rumors about operations!
Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC and COMSEC when using email or phone!

Rules of thumb for parents and loved ones:
*If your sailor indicates to you they can't tell you something, believe them. Don't try to coax them into telling.
*If it is published by the navy about where a ship or unit has been (not going), that is when it's okay to share.
*If your sailor is in a high security area, say a nuke or EOD, consider using a nick name for them and you, a seperate email without your name on it, and don't even tell where YOU live. Let them tell you what they want you to tell others or if they are worried about info, always let them know you are on here. That's why they are careful on here about only putting first names on your profile page.
*Be aware, the OPSEC 10 points are about what they can't talk about. Think about what YOU might share as a parent or loved one of a military member that could cause trouble. You also have a responsibilty.
*Be respectful and teach other parents if they don't know and say too much, no need to be disrespectful or mean to them about it. Just guide them and let them know they maybe need to rewrite or delete the post. There isn't a member on here that wants to cause trouble or harm. They just aren't thinking or don't know.

Beginning deployment today.  Never get used to this!  

Comment by ProudMominJersey on July 30, 2014 at 6:14am

That is what my son is doing too -- 3 weeks of combat school then off to his assigned battalion.

Comment by cs3370cs on July 28, 2014 at 8:21pm

My son went to combat school for 3-4 weeks and then to his base.  He loved learning to shoot guns.

Comment by Navyhubby FF on July 28, 2014 at 2:12pm

thank you beloved im new to all this  

Comment by belovedbyHim on July 28, 2014 at 1:57pm

fire fighter- It depends.  They may go to combat school or they may go to their first duty station.  They may or may not get to take leave after A school depending on when they are supposed to report to their next assignment.  Usually if they are going to combat training they might not get leave, but this is the Navy!! It's a lot of hurry up and wait and you won't know till you do!!

Happy Birthday to my 'Bee today. Even though he's far away physically, he's right here with me in my heart! Thinking of all other moms who have sons and daughters away on their "special" days. Thanks for their service!

They have to earn privileges at A school. My daughter went to A School in Port Hueneme. She didn't get her car until after she completed combat training and got assigned to her battalion in Gulfport.
