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 Rose7..Norfolk on June 15, 2011 at 12:29am: NDG...Wao a couple of weeks!!! I know how crazy end of the year is at school. Almost done!!!
I can't imagine not hearing from Jo for that long. I know is bad for me because once he get deployed I know I can go months with out hearing about him but for now he KNOWS that mom like to hear from him a least once, so every Saturday he call and if the evening comes and don't hear about him I call. Sometimes we don't have nothing to talk about it but like to hear his voice and a few minutes late I end saying just checking on you love to hear your voice thank you for calling, love you. I know is crazy but trying to enjoy him as long as I can.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 14, 2011 at 10:12pm: Nancy, I can imagine how much you have going on now. Yikes! Maybe we will see you more on here. :)

Comment by Nancy on June 14, 2011 at 9:58pm: Gotta love this group. We are so supportive of each other.
Betsy, I have not spoken to IB in a couple weeks..I'm so bad. It's the end of the school year, and it is simply nuts. Only 6 more days until sanity returns, until the next year starts up again.

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on June 14, 2011 at 9:40pm: Betsy....Thanks!!!

NDG....sometimes I don't know where I have my head. Thanks!!! And for previous experience you know I will give your hug and message if I see IB. LOL

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 14, 2011 at 2:56pm: Phoebe, awww, I'm so glad that you had a good trip. :) Can't wait to see the pictures.

Rose, Woohoo on a trip to Groton.

Nancy, how is IB doing?

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on June 14, 2011 at 1:10pm: Phoebe....Glad you have a good time!!! Is always nice to see our mens or womens (babies, lol). Can't wait to see mine!!!

Comment by phoebe stg2 on June 14, 2011 at 1:08am: Just returned from SD. Had a wonderful time with my son and June Gloom in San Diego. It was chilly and cloudy all weekend. But we managed to have a fun time. S just finished class so he was able to spend four days with us. And we went to the retirement ceremony for a Chief Petty Officer. My son and a few of his class mates did the "passing of the flag". We didn't go to his PIR so it was great seeing him do this. I will post a pic when I unpack my stuff. Hope all is well and trip planning is going well for those flying out to see your sailor.

Comment by Nancy on June 13, 2011 at 8:50pm: Oh Rose,
I am so happy for you...and not just a little jealous! Have a wonderful time seeing J. And if you happen to see IB, give him a hug and say it's from his mom. :-)
Nancy

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on June 13, 2011 at 8:26pm: Wendi...how exciting! Enjoy the experience, have fun seeing your daughter and Hawaii.

I'm getting ready for my trip to Groton to see Jo the weekend of 4th of July. Can't wait!!!
