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 carols_kitchen on November 17, 2010 at 10:51pm: So glad to have KathyMRmom with us too. Enjoy your recruit as he prepares for boot camp.
Navyfam, yes, our sailor has been in the Navy since June of 08. He is out in his submarine right now.

Comment by KathyMmom on November 17, 2010 at 10:38pm: Hi! New to this group, but glad to have found it and have the ability to know others concerns and praises so they may be lifted up.

Carol - that song reaches my heart as well, and I think it's for all of us! Even when our kids have it pretty easy, they still experience heartbreak or difficult times. My son is strong now, and preparing for the Navy (DEP right now), but I remember a time when he was bullied terribly. He wrote this poem in 6th grade:

The boy walks alone
He has no friends to play with
Yet, he is happy.

I cried when I first read it but when I tried to talk to him about it, he pointed out that I stopped reading after the first two lines. Silly me. I knew then that my pleading prayers for his happiness were already answered!

Though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds
him with his hand. Psalm 37:24

Thanks to all of you for being here.
