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 December 26, 2010 at 7:19pm: Leslie, ((hugs)) We will all be here to help each other through this stage too.

Comment by LesCorpsmanmama on December 26, 2010 at 7:17pm: Salma my J left today as well but back to GL. Emotional rollercoaster ride once again but thank u to today's technology we're only a phone call apart! His first trip solo. I am nothing but mush! I can't help it! Stay strong

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 26, 2010 at 7:14pm: Salma, ((hugs)) to you.

Lori, wow that is crazy weather out there. I will be praying for safe travels for A tomorrow. ((hugs))

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on December 26, 2010 at 6:39pm: So glad A didn't leave for Groton today; I've been on the Groton site and Sailors flying today have been grounded and unable to fly into Providence which is where my A flys to tomorrow a.m. Yikes! Hoping by tomorrow flights are flying in and out on time.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 26, 2010 at 5:47pm: Great advice, Susan.

Ladies, if your sailors aren't aware of this, they can call the USO when they arrive at their station and they may actually have someone pick them up at the airport. They should also have that number on their Orders

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 26, 2010 at 5:44pm: Susan, I am so happy for you. YAY!

Donna, when I talked with my daughter in MD, she said that they were actually only expecting 2-4 inches today and 1-3 tomorrow. We aren't even sure why they cancelled so many flights already. She said it was only flurrying at the time that they cancelled his flight.

A just texted me that he was boarding his 4 hour flight to Charlotte now and they bumped him up to First Class. :) I guess the uniform does give them some perks. lol

Comment by NC_Susan on December 26, 2010 at 5:43pm: Maryland Mom - have him call the Quarterdeck right now to let them know of this possibilty. They will advise him. My sailor said he should have the number. If not let me know. Susan

Comment by MarylandMom on December 26, 2010 at 5:31pm: that's great news Susan !! I am concerned about the flight weather tomorow also Betsy. If your hubby can't get into BWI tonite, I wonder if S will get out of there tomorrow ?! His flight is 9:45. Dont know what will happen if the flight is cancelled and there is nothing later in day. He is to be at Pensacola at 7am Tues. Do they overlook absence if it was weather related ??
