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 ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on January 19, 2011 at 11:36pm: Oh that is sooo sad...I can't even imagine! Oh dear...

Comment by Lisa GL Corpsman A school on January 19, 2011 at 11:28pm: So sad to hear the news of the Sailor who passed away.

Cj's Mom, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure it was hard for CJ not being home for that. I think Z is home sick too. He is calling a lot more now. He bought a computer that has a webcam. If Cj can get a webcam I highly recommend it!

Big Hugs for everyone!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 19, 2011 at 11:16pm: Cindy, I am having the same kind of week. ((hugs)) to you.

Groton Penny. I'm so sorry to have to say that this is the update :( http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/01/19/sailor.body.found/index.html?iref=...

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on January 19, 2011 at 9:52pm: Hello everyone...

I will be saying prayers for that missing sailor...oh that is just so awful!!!! Please keep us updated...nothing on the news???

Penny...as sad as you might be feeling...be happy that you are his "go to person!" CJ knows he can count on you...you can be strong for him...and then come here to let it all out! ((hugs))

N has been really excited about what they are doing in BESS. We had a long talk...sounds really good.

I haven't sent his xbox down yet and last night he told me he wasn't sure that he wanted me to send it...was afraid it might be a distraction....Whoa! Was this MY son?????? Of course he did follow with, "Well, I will need some entertainment..." I am going to hold off and see if he still wants it as he gets more and more into school.

Hope everyone has a good night...we are still battling terrible weather and I am personally still battling this sickness! YUCK!

Groton Penny :)

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on January 19, 2011 at 9:10pm: Just popped in to say hello! ((Hugs)) Penny...Glad CJ still knows Mom will always be there ;o). Wanna hug my sailor too. This week has been emotionally difficult for some reason!!

Stay warm everyone...DEEP freeze coming to Minnesota.

Cindy

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 19, 2011 at 8:12pm: Sharon, so glad that you had a wonderful visit with your sailor.
Stacey, do I have to get A down there and make him Skype you again? LOL
Penny, ((hugs)) to you. I can imagine how that phone call tugged at your heartstrings. ((hugs)) I hope things were better for him today.
Wendi, that's awesome about H starting classes. Woohoo!

My prayers go out to the family of the sailor. Unfortunately, the outcome was very sad. :( ((hugs))

Comment by CJ's Mom on January 19, 2011 at 2:02am: I got a text from Cj at 11pm - mom you still up .... Then I got a phone call. He was in tears. Missing home. A mother of a friend of ours passed away yesterday and I think Cj was a little sad over it...(I had told him about it eariler this evening) Anyway he and I had to go through the list of family members and I had to report how they were doing. Especially his grandparents and his brothers. He always took things to heart and is sensetive to others hurts so I guess this hasn't changed. I didn't tell him about the missing sailor. I thought that might push him over and he would cry all night. I wanna cry to... nose is running. :) I really wanna hug my sailor.

Comment by Stacey USS George Wash mom on January 19, 2011 at 1:19am: Prayer out for the missing sailor and her family!!!

Comment by Stacey USS George Wash mom on January 19, 2011 at 1:18am: I had a nice chat with TJ recently and asked why I haven't heard from him much and he said he bought an XBox and a TV.....duh, what was I thinking!! Of course that would be why he wouldn't be calling home just to say hi, he was busy shooting at imaginary Zombies and flying spaceships at warp speeds to save a fictional universe. LOL, boys will be boys. Gotta love 'em. I guess it could be worse.

Comment by Anita MA Mom on January 19, 2011 at 1:11am: Oh such Sad News about the Sailor that is missing. Prayers and Peace to her family!! Such a scary thing!! All is well with my sailor they get to leave the Base this weekend for the first time. Hope all of you N4MS are all ok!! Much love !
