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."

Congratulations to your daughter. If you are interested I run a group called Moms of Daughters 2 and you are certainly invited to join. We have new moms, seasoned moms, and even veteran moms. Once a Navy mom - always a Navy mom. We have enlisted daughters and officer daughters, including mine.

I do need to caution you though not to post last names on this website. It is in violation of OPSEC rules and it is designed to keep our sailors and families safe. Copy your post, edit out the last name, and repost it and then you can send that info in a private message.

Comment by proudmom on August 30, 2015 at 8:03pm: Noni...Sounds like you are doing your best to keep in touch. My DS has had several solo flights. He usually calls me afterward he's so excited. I sure do miss him! I hope that someday I get to see the ships coming in and out. Is FaceTime like military Skype?

Comment by Noni on August 30, 2015 at 4:52pm: Proudmom,
The last time i seen Monica was a few weeks ago. My mother was having surgery and she wanted to see her in case she didn't make it out. Before that we seen her for a week in SD.over my spring break. I txt her a lot. We talk on the weekends and we FaceTime. When she's abroad I send messages to her ships email. It's hard being so far away. When she departs, I watch SanDiego live. She will send me little messages that I know she going or gone. It's awesome to Watch the ships come in and out. Has your son completed his solo flight yet?

Comment by proudmom on August 30, 2015 at 5:45am: Noni...My DS was in NROTC at FSU; now he is in primary flight training in P'cola. I'm hoping my DS goes to Corpus next since I'M only 3 hours away. I live so far from P'Cola that I haven't seen my son since his commissioning spring of 2014. I did, however, get to visit with my grandson in January. It was wonderful! When did you last see your daughter? How do you keep in touch? Phone? Email? Text?

Comment by Noni on August 30, 2015 at 12:05am: Proudmom....It takes a special person to do your job as well. I live about 7 miles away from Great Lakes Naval Base in Illinois. Did your son atend OCS in Newport RI? My daughter WAS class 02-15 Hotel at OCS.

Comment by J/J Mom on August 29, 2015 at 9:33pm: Welcome proudmom! Our son is in Corpus in Primary.

Comment by proudmom on August 29, 2015 at 2:39pm: I'm a certified peer specialist working for National Alliance for mental Illness (NAMI). I work mostly with adolescents and their parents. I've also worked as an advocate for children with special needs. I was more or less a liason between the school and the parents. I helped the parents be proactive when writing their child's IEP. I worked with many special ed teachers;they were terrific; I have a great deal of respect for the work you do. where do yo live? I'm in Austin TX.

Comment by Noni on August 29, 2015 at 1:59pm: Welcome proudmom! What type of therapist are you? I work in special ed. I also have a handicapped daughter. My daughter in the navy is a officer on the USS Princeton, in San Diego.
