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 23, 2011 at 1:25am: Wendi, that's sounds pretty cool.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on January 23, 2011 at 12:32am: It is a zodiac sign for Cancer with hearts. It looks good. She and I got tattoos last Thanksgiving and have a plan to get a navy anchor together.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 22, 2011 at 11:49pm: Wendi, oh my! What kind of tattoo did she get?

Phoebe, ((hugs)) this site has been my lifeline since last June. :)

Comment by phoebe stg2 on January 22, 2011 at 11:09pm: It's so nice to know that at any time I can touch base with all of you and know that we're all in the same....?? Going it alone would just be bad. So I'm lik'in the Popeye Boxers idea. Now I have something to do on Monday. Thanks for the great idea. Love to you all.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on January 22, 2011 at 11:03pm: Happy Saturday!! H can leave base now, as well, and got a new tattoo already.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 22, 2011 at 11:00pm: Hey Penny, ((hugs)) to your son Matt. I hope he feels better soon. I hope Cj's inspection goes well.

Talked to A tonight on Skype for almost an hour. He said they were just sitting around and watching the movie Inception. They went to the mall again today. One of his buddies has a Prius and he said that they have gone to the mall every weekend and haven't even used up a gallon of his gas yet. He looks good and says his classes of ATT are going well. He says so far, it's pretty easy

Comment by CJ's Mom on January 22, 2011 at 10:28pm: I texted Cj and he said they were having an inspection tonight. He said he would call later... I hope they do well.

My son Matt is sick - he usually gets a bad cold every year and well it has hit him hard. He has slept most of the day. I wish he had a job so he could pay for a Dr visit.... I am not able to help him. Ugh!!!!

Thanks for the encouraging stories and the blaming on the moon or PMS - I think it is because it is too cold and there is nothing left to blame stuff on. Blessings girl friends... :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 22, 2011 at 5:08pm: Cindy, thanks.

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on January 22, 2011 at 3:27pm: Hey Navy Moms! @ Elizabeth...once again Laughing (with tears) at your post (Thank you)! You blame emotions on the Full Moon...I blame them on PMS LOL!! I did the same thing this week...called the Car Insurance Agent, had to change vehicle coverage anyway, and yes, it was time to take E off my policy ;(...I was like you, avoiding it like the plague!!! I LOVE the Popeye Boxers idea...gave me the idea to look for some with Popeye for E, can I steel your idea... Mine won't be home made? :)!

@Betsy...Congrats (almost), that is so exciting! Sounds like they both have good solid plans for the future, happy for you. (Hugs)!

@Anita...Congrats to your Sailor on the Ribbon/pin Hoooooya!! I know exactly what you mean about them leaving base ...big deep breath In, ready? 1-2-3 INNNNNNNNN......OuuuuuuuuuT, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! :) !!
