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 Sandra MM Nuke Mom on August 27, 2014 at 12:41pm: kfguay - thanks, my son is normally good and letting me know. I think he doesn't want to tell me until it's "Official". Yes, he was supposed to originally graduate 9/19. I'm anxious to make the travel plans to attend. Are you planning on going to the graduation?

Comment by 1proudmama/EM/USSLincoln/CVN72 on August 27, 2014 at 12:40pm: Ny is so pretty. Both places are great in there own way, I really enjoyed visiting both places. Leaning more to liking NY better but that might be the newness of it all talking. My son got a place in Quiet Harbor in Saratoga Springs. Easy to get to base I think less then 10 miles and Saratoga Springs has everything you want parks, restaurants, shops etc.

Comment by Frances5901 on August 27, 2014 at 11:49am: For those going to Saratoga Springs, they have ALOT of furnished homes for rent up there. My son and three others shared a house for two years. If you want info let me know and I can ask him how he found out about them.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on August 27, 2014 at 11:41am: Hi all - Happy Wednesday!

I believe there was a new member - Tea - that said she was marrying her nuke today. Just want to give a shout out to her & her sailor and wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!

Comment by kfguay on August 27, 2014 at 6:53am: Sandra MM Nuke- I think my son is, he told me but I've forgotten. I should hear from him today so I will ask him. Graduation was originally set for 9/19 back in July once things got back to normal. He told me last week it was pushed back a week to the 26th. I believe his Chief told them that.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 26, 2014 at 11:37pm: Thanks for the positive posts on BS. My son is usually so upbeat and so I am hoping he will do fine once he adjusts. Hey didn't one of you Dad's on here have a house you rent out there? Is it occupied at this time? seems to me you posted about it and it sounded like a pretty sweet house.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 26, 2014 at 11:34pm: Sierra scrapper... I am jumping up and down for you. Sorry his twin could not come. Hope he can go visit him in Goose Creek. I am sure that they will have a blast together then. Oh an it is highly likely he would be home for Christmas.

Comment by Sandra MM Nuke Mom on August 26, 2014 at 10:59pm: Kfguay - is your son in class 1304? My son has been in BS since sept also. Where did you get the possible graduation date?

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 26, 2014 at 10:40pm: Oh goodness CO-twin. What a big change for your Sailor. Sorry to hear that he has to go but really wanted to stay. I'm sure he is thrilled to be with all of his buddies though!

BTW...I have a strong feeling my MAGIC day will be the one that our group reaches it's goal. We'll see! But I can just taste it! LOL

Can't believe PIR is almost here! SO DANG EXCITED! I can't concentrate on all the important stuff that I need to finish! LOL Chicago here I come!

Comment by kfguay on August 26, 2014 at 10:25pm: My son is in BS and loves it. He will be there a yr in Sept because of all the delays. Hoping for graduation on 9/26. He doesn't want to go thru another winter, lol!
