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 Deb (FC Mom) on February 3, 2011 at 10:31pm: Hikermom - you are just cruel...enjoy it for the rest of us. Very cold & windy here in Nothern MI but enjoying sunshine. My sailor wasn't able to check into A school at GL yesterday so I haven't heard anything since dropping him off on Sun night.

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on February 3, 2011 at 10:27pm: Hikermom - I'll be going to Goose Creek Saturday to eat sushi with my Sailor for lunch. Is there anything your Sailor needs or is there anything I can help you or him with? I'm sorry he's not well. If so, just let me know. Leave me a message! He is also welcome to join us for lunch if he wants. I'm here if you need me!

Comment by hikermom on February 3, 2011 at 10:19pm: Our son made it to Goose Creek - his flight left at 0600 Tuesday morning and he said they were one of the last flights out before the big snow storm hit. Unfortunately, now he is very sick with a high fever.

Div 58 mom at the Residence Inn Saturday morning: I apologize for not finishing our conversation on Saturday. I was so focused on getting all the train details and I had to get back up to the room where my 80 year old mom was. Sorry if I was abrupt.

Can I tell you all that we (NorCal) are supposed to hit 80 degrees this weekend?!

Comment by Sharon*MA mom* on February 3, 2011 at 10:12pm: Sherry- You can tell them to blame the weather on all those Sailors at MA school! My son says San Antonio isn't much better than GL. Well, except for the food it's great and Liberty every night :)

Comment by SherryYmom Ship 07 DIV 055 on February 3, 2011 at 9:50pm: Penny- My son is going to San Diego! He went in as undesignated/Sailors PACT since he was rolled up early. He is going to strike for Gunners Mate once he gets there. That is exciting!

Sandy- Its 14 degrees here in TX with Windchill of 5! Can you believe it???!!!!! We have never had weather like this. Everyone here is blaming it on us for bringing it back from Chicago!!! LOL! Superbowl weekend and the weather stinks! I need to come visit you!

Comment by joansj proudGSM mom on February 3, 2011 at 4:32pm: Hello everyone, it has been a few days since I have been on. Just changed my name to reflect my Sailor. Now I am a Proud GSM mom.

Glad to hear that mostly everyone made it home safely.

gvnavydad so sorry to hear that you got stuck in chicago. I am praying that you will make it out of GL soon!!

I have been able to talk to my Sailor everyday since he moved over to GL A school, it has been wonderful. He has a cell phone now and he texts me every night. He is doing well, just says he is bored because he is used to the structure he had during bootcamp. He is still in indoc and since the storm he had class dismissed early then cancelled. Hopefully they will get back on track soon.

KLP I am so happy for you and your husband. Good luck with the move to San Diego!!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on February 3, 2011 at 4:01pm: I gave myself a new name here .... was ship 11/div.057 so don't think I've forgotten all of you but now am a proud NUKE MOM !!! lol Still can't use their first name though.

Comment by Marissasmom(Ship03 Div360) on February 3, 2011 at 3:15pm: Hi everybody, it was so nice meeting all of you last week. Good luck Gnavydad, KLP and anybody else needing it.. haha I'm thankful we had good weather last week and everybody was able to make graduation. Weather is terrible here where we live, can't wait for Spring..

Comment by ACTmom(ship 11 Div 054) on February 3, 2011 at 2:41pm: Good luck with everything KLP!

gvnavydad~ looks like you will have to start looking for housing if you don't get out of there soon! LOL! How aggravating, especially since you can't even spend time with your sailor! That would make me crazy! It would have been nice to have been in a better place if you were unexpectedly going on vacation, huh? Hopefully you will get a flight out really soon!
