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."

How long is his assignment in San Diego? Please forgive me for asking so many questions, your one of the first mom's that I know that their Sailor has received orders...

Comment by B's proud mom ship03 div027 on January 26, 2011 at 6:56pm: <CJ's mom> I will pray for you. Try to be strong and know that you did what you thought was best for your child at the time. What more can a mother do? Hugs to you.

Comment by CJ's Mom on January 26, 2011 at 5:58pm: Oh I forgot... CJ texted me last night he is woosy and feels sick to his stomach. So I asked if he was eating and drinking enough. He said yeah - everyone has the bug here mom...

Also pray for me... I placed a child up for adoption 33 years ago and we met about 5 years ago and he wants to talk to me tonight about his abandonment issues. Ugh! I have been crying all day... not sure I ready for this part ot happen.

Comment by CJ's Mom on January 26, 2011 at 5:56pm: I found a couple of boxers today but I felt they were too inappropriate for the Navy.

Still looking for some good ones. will check out a few local stores here.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 26, 2011 at 3:50pm: Hi Salma, I've missed you. :) The big topic this week was boxer shorts. lol We have been sending fun ones to our sailors.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 26, 2011 at 2:37pm: Anita and Maggie, I actually did ask my son if he wanted me to send him some funny boxers prior to sending them. He said, "Of course, mom" I figured it's their only creative way of expressing themselves while they are in uniform. He enjoys getting them and said he can't wait to see the next pair. :)

Maggie, Yay for Phase II! Woohoo!

Anita, my prayers are with him. ((hugs))

Comment by Anita MA Mom on January 26, 2011 at 1:30am: Hey there ladies!! I have been keeping up with all the post and pics of the Boxers. They are so cute but my sailor would KILL me if I sent him a pair. On the other hand he would probably like the Cracker Jacks. Please say a prayer for my sailor, he may get his orders next week. He really wants the MWD(Military Working Dog). I would appreciate all the extra help> :) Hope all is well for you and your sailors. Prayers to you all :)

Comment by maggie (ship03 Div.027) on January 26, 2011 at 1:15am: Hi Everyone My son moved up to Phase II today. YEA! I have been reading all about the boxers. HA! I don't know what my son would think if I sent him a pair of boxers with popeye on them. Where did you get the Cracker Jacks guy in the picture with the dog?
