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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 4, 2011 at 8:39pm: Lori, I don't know how it changed, it just does sometimes when I type.

Comment by mochi1 on January 4, 2011 at 8:33pm: Terry, My son k graduated on 12/22 as well so they will probably be in some classes together. K will be an ET. What is your son's rate? I will message you his real name. Moura

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on January 4, 2011 at 8:13pm: Salma - have F.U.N.! Enjoy your 2nd PIR - safe travels!

MarylandMom - They will find you! No doubt! Good luck :-)

Nancy / Elizabeth - how cool is it that your Sailors are roomys; one of life's blessings - very happy for you 2; it will make sharing your Sailor's experiences in Groton that much more meaningful!

Terry - So glad you son has arrived safe and sound. I'm sure he is getting all settled in today!

Betsy - How did you change the text size?

Comment by LesCorpsmanmama on January 4, 2011 at 8:13pm: Lovely ladies I need ideas for some care packages. Need some ideas help!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on January 4, 2011 at 8:08pm: Who is the smarty pants that got our fridge working - way to go and thank you! Just packaged up my first care package to A! Will ship it out tomorrow. Busy day for INDOC; he called about 5:30 as he was heading into the Galley. He had a course on Finances today - glad there is practical course work for everyday life - way to go Navy! My cold is MUCH better today so I'm back with the living! Snow coming down in Michigan - everything melted last week with 50 degree temps - looked like spring for a few days; not for long though - its MICHIGAN!

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on January 4, 2011 at 7:35pm: Salma...have a safe trip!! Wao, two!! Enjoy is an awesome experience, I still have chills when I remember the moment the doors open and the moment that I saw my son. How much I cry when I so my handsome Sailor with his blues, not mention how skinny he look. This make me think about my other two boys. One said that he is going Navy and the other one Air Force, let see.

Comment by MarylandMom on January 4, 2011 at 6:11pm: Looks like the clearence procedure is in the making for my son. When I got home from work , there was a notice in door with investigators name and phone number on it. Also a message on answering machine with same contact info. So now for her to catch up with me !! With driving school bus I have a split schedule. In between bus runs I work another job. So this could get interesting !! Will let you all know how things work out !! Finally got an address from the gf for S,Pmb #593. Whatever that means. Didnt say how to address him. I dont think they go by the SR anymore. Gettin closer though !!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 4, 2011 at 1:41pm: If anyone can help put our fridge up here again, I would truly appreciate it. I would love to have our messages again and was hoping to post some birthdays. Every time I try to post it, it only posts the actual code and not the image. :(

Here is the ink if someone can do magic and help. :)
