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 15, 2011 at 1:59pm: I am so sorry about the video for 12/22 ((Hugs)) I hope someone can copy for those who don't have anything. :(

Wendi, glad to hear H is doing well and phasing up soon. :)

Priscilla, sounds like hubby is happy. If you want to join our Yahoo group, please pm either Nancy, Lori or me and we will invite you into it. We can post birthdays and addresses privately in there and can send cards to all of our sailors that way.

Elizabeth, YAY for T starting BESS! That's awesome! And, yes in Yahoo you can click on his name and put his info in there. Please do. I'm sure the sailors would love to get V cards. What an awesome idea! Do you mind if I steal it?

Rose, that good that they sent the reimbursement so soon.

Donna, have a great Saturday. Are you watching the Raven's game today? I have on my Raven's shirt in NM and can't wait to watch it. :)

Lori, I'm so glad to hear that A is starting class soon too. It sounds like a lot of our sailors are starting now. Wow, you got a lot of snow? Will you be my Raven's tv watching buddy again today?

Jacque, if you haven't joined the Yahoo group yet, let Nancy, Lori or me know your email address in a pm and we can invited you into it.

Comment by MarylandMom on January 15, 2011 at 1:31pm: Salma , so glad to hear from you again. What an exciting time you have had !!

Rose, I would be upset also to learn about the video. Thank goodness they were prompt in mailing out the refund. Happy saturday to all of you wonderful Navy moms and family !!

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on January 15, 2011 at 12:31pm: Hi to everyone........I receive yesterday the reimbursement in a NEX gift card for the video. So is official!!!!

Comment by ElizabethC on January 15, 2011 at 12:18pm: Here I am again....see you guy's don't hear from me for a while and then I make up for it all in one day...haha (big smiles..batting eyelashes) I was able to access the Yahoo calendar...some of the dates had Sailor's names with addresses, some did not...when I add T do I put his address or no, I don't want to do something I'm not suppose to...I love that there are pictures on their as well, it would be awesome if everyone shared their pictures from PIR my pictures were so dark it looked like just a bunch of white hats floating around in the dark (flash problems) combined with no DVD equals sadness...oh and if anyone has pictures from PIR 12/17 of uumm maybe the Side Boys that would be G-R-E-A-T....

Ok my younger son has a baseball tournament this weekend so I'm off, have a great weekend :o)

Comment by ElizabethC on January 15, 2011 at 11:23am: I registered with the Yahoo calendar, I think I need to be accepted??? Does that sound right? Let me know if I did it correctly or if I need to do something different.

Comment by ElizabethC on January 15, 2011 at 10:57am: Hi Navy Mom's....things are going way better the past few days for "T", oh thank goodness makes a mom's heart smile. He sent me a text Friday at 6:30AM with the amount he got paid, he was so excited he was also told that they are not going to postpone him starting BESS he will start this Tuesday with the rest of the group he was happy but said he was ok either way...who's child is that? Patiences was never a strong point for T, glimmers of maturing...wahoo.

Got the computer this morning (haha the early bird gets the computer) so I'm going to try to figure out the Yahoo calendar, I would love to send all the Sailor's Valentine's Day cards....do you think they will all think I'm a wacko? Just thought it would be a smile in their mailboxes.... :o)

Salma - I have to say you are my hero, 2 children in BC at the same time, I would have been a pile of tears...good for you being such a strong woman not to mention how proud you must be...Congratulations and best wishes to your new Sailors

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on January 15, 2011 at 8:16am: Lots of SNOW this morning in Michigan - we'll be slip sliding out and about this weekend! Good to see everyones posts. Sorry Anita about missing you - congrats to Nick though! If you ever want to chat; PM me and others so we can arrange a time. I know how you feel - I pop in and out; if no one is on I close out. Wendi - glad your girl is classing up! My A classes up Monday; BESS though not his A school yet. Hey there Priscilla - good to see your smiling face. Sounds like your husband is doing well. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on January 15, 2011 at 8:13am: Jacque - between the welcome blue bar and the "fridge" is a link to a Yahoo Group. The Yahoo Group is for registering our Sailor's birthdays and Addresses. Nancy set it up and its really pretty cool. It sends members the Sailors address and a birthday reminder. Given the sensitivity of this information, the Yahoo Group maintains privacy - posting on our N4Ms doesn't. Add your Sailor's birthday and we'll all send him a card - a flood of cards from N4Ms!

Comment by priscilla; FC wife on January 15, 2011 at 6:05am: Hi, everyone. Priscilla from pir 12/22. Glad to see that everyone's settled in. :)
Hubby's moved into a new ship at Great Lakes. There's a hold to start A school. Womp womp womp. He's just chilling, waiting to phase up & get his live ashore packet approved. :)

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on January 15, 2011 at 4:12am: Got a text from H today and she classes up on Tuesday. Much sooner than we thought. I think she has a few more days until she is in phase 2 and can leave base.
