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 Sharon*MA mom* on December 15, 2010 at 10:06pm: AlishaNicole - I think we all needed the BIG and BOLD!!

Kathy - Yes I would rather wait on mail than have my son.

Sandy, Erin & Kathy - thanks for all your work on the M&G, I keep thinking I can't take on anything else, you gals inspire me :)

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on December 15, 2010 at 9:29pm: One Mom posted she ran around for weeks with her cell phone stuck in her bra so she wouldn't miss a call.

Kathy: We can order the kit right here off the website!! I've requested it and will bring it when we fly to Chicago. I'll be staying at the Ramada . We are scheduled to come in Thursday morning. So I should have plenty of time to set us up a table with name tags and such. Oh what fun!

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 15, 2010 at 8:18pm: Maybe the good Lord wanted it big and bold! Woohoo!!

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 15, 2010 at 8:16pm: WOW! That was BIG and BOLD, don't know what I did, but the message is still the same!

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 15, 2010 at 8:11pm: Ladies, this may put things in to perspective, or maybe not. I just spoke to my good friend who's son just graduated Coast Guard boot camp. She said she didn't talk to her boy for 5 weeks! We can DO this! Keep the faith, girls....

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 15, 2010 at 7:50pm: ACT, needn't worry about the strange things you do to make sure you don't miss a call. I have my home phone forwarded to my cell phone and even when I'm in the shower, I bring it in with me and turn the ringer up on HIGH. So, see...we will all need psychological counseling after PIR.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that after PIR, this starts all over again but maybe, just maybe, they will be able to have their cell phones wherever they are going in order to stay in touch in their off hours.

P.S. No mail to Seattle, either. hrummppffffhhhhh

P.S.S. Making Bacardi Rum Cake .... just might not have enough rum for the cake after finding yet another empty mail box.

Comment by Kathy Ship 11 Div 057 on December 15, 2010 at 7:07pm: Let's look at it this way ladies.....as long as our mail gets to them that is the most important part. we can wait (hard i know, but we can). If i had to pick, and i know you all would agree, you'd want your child/hubby to get theirs and we will wait ours out if we have to. The mail and calls will come! i am sure of it! Think positive and pray for them! As long as they know we are thinking about them, I am happy. With that said..you can count on me yelling from the roof tops when i get my call or letter! ;-)

Sandy...woohoo! Are you doing all that yourself (name tags, balloons, posters, etc? When it gets closer, for all of those who are decorating or bringing stuff for the meet and greet, we need to do a little planning as far as a meet time to start the decorations etc. If you have that covered, Erin has the big banner covered, I have the division penants taken care of for the tables, then we just need a cake, and we are good to go! This is all coming together great! Can't wait for this day..for many reasons!

Comment by joansj proudGSM mom on December 15, 2010 at 6:03pm: Jill what a beautiful poem! Kathy the 12 days are hilarious and they really fit us as we continue on this roller coaster.

Act you are not losing it we are just getting impatient. I don't know why ship 11 has not been able to contact us. Maybe they just haven't earned those priviledges yet. Trying my best to keep the faith.

Comment by joansj proudGSM mom on December 15, 2010 at 5:56pm: No mail or phone call again today, I am really getting disgusted. Well maybe they are just waiting for Christmas. If so, that would be the best Christmas gift ever. Trying to keep my head up.

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on December 15, 2010 at 5:55pm: Hey Ladies, I'm getting a kit for our Meet & Greet at the Ramada. Name tags, balloons, posters and all. Hope to see you there!!!
