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 Mitchell's mom on September 19, 2010 at 10:26am: Good Morning!
Heard from him this morning, I'm so happy and relived! Sounds good and busy as you said! Patience is rewarded. Hope everyone has a great day.

Comment by Mitchell's mom on September 18, 2010 at 5:34pm: Yes I do have his email and have gotten 2 since they left, it's just been a while. I know I know, whining does no good, thanks for listening just needed to get if off my chest so to speak. I am part of the Lincoln group and that's good, but I've not found a mom of an ABE to get info from. What is RIMPAC? Still learning Navy "lingo".

Comment by Mitchell's mom on September 18, 2010 at 4:53pm: Hello, I just found your group. My son graduated earlier in August ABE, came home for a wonderful week, left for the Lincoln, then 7 days later, pulled out of Everett for 7 LONG months :-( Needless to say I've been in a bit of a fog, not sure of anything. Didn't have time to "wade" into being with the fleet b4 he left. I've heard of many things and I'm not sure of anything that we can do for him. All this on top of not hearing from him for the past 5 days, I'm beginning to go crazy.

Comment by Theresa (David's Mom) on September 9, 2010 at 7:27pm: Hey Kelly - I guess I just move from group to group. Excited to get back onto the Navy for Moms website and chat with everyone

Comment by andrea on September 8, 2010 at 9:59pm: I think that I read that the E-4 advancement test is 16 Sept.

Comment by Theresa (David's Mom) on September 8, 2010 at 8:55pm: Hello to all. It has been awhile since I was on this website and in this group. I am happy to be back and surrounded by people who are in the same situation as I am. I look froward to keeping in touch with everyone and getting to know you.

Comment by Trixy on September 8, 2010 at 10:42am: Oh boy, not exactly the logo she usually likes to purchase. I hope they donot charge alot for the gear...to be fair here, Tif likes North Face stuff, when it comes to outdoor attire. LOL...me TOO!

Comment by Trixy on August 15, 2010 at 10:07am: Heya, I followed my good friend Andrea over to this site. My daughter is also recently stationed aboard the USS Stennis. This looks like a great place to connect.

Comment by andrea on August 13, 2010 at 2:14pm: Hello everyone, just found this group---my daughter is an ABH graduated from A-School 9 Jul and is now in Bremerton, WA on the USS Stennis. She is waiting to start her 3 week training there, as the ship is in dry dock she is doing lots < of cleaning :). Anyone else on the Stennis??
