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 Jan (Ship 04 Div 802) on January 12, 2011 at 10:03pm: I love it that R is going to have his phone soon! I called and left a message on his phone telling him that we are having his favorite food tonight, but he won't get to have any! (He won't get his phone till tomorrow) But, I also told him that I love him and miss him. It's so nice knowing that he will be getting that message soon, and not have to wait for a letter

Comment by Jan (Ship 04 Div 802) on January 12, 2011 at 9:07pm: Just heard from R- they made it to Pcola! and he said it is cold!

Lydia- I'll be praying for B. R said he saw him today in the Galley and said that he looks so different. He is hanging with a friend from our area that went in 1 day before R and graduated on 12/22. B has a class tonight.

Bonnie- I love the picture! I have one on my camera, but I have to take it to Walgreens, because I don't have what I need to put the pictures right onto my computer.

I'll try to get the pictures from my daughters FB and try to put them on here. I do feel much better today. Thanks to the Zpak and vitamins!

Comment by Ersmom CVN71/Roosevelt on January 12, 2011 at 8:41pm: Lydia, saying a prayer for yours!!

Comment by Ms. Ampi USS Germantown on January 12, 2011 at 5:52pm: @KWNavyMOM (Ship 12 - Div 033)

Your son stayed at GL too?? YAY!! My daughter said the same thing. This morning I mailed her a care package with a few homey items for her dorm. She is so excited about A school. A group of them were heading to Gurnee Mall this afternoon. My A sounds so happy hanging out with good kids.

Comment by KWNavyMOM (Ship 12 - Div 033) on January 12, 2011 at 5:25pm: Wow 55 is cold but to be cold and wet!!! Praying for them all! I love being able to talk to my son every day now! For those that stayed in GL, my son said they are having a blast. He said they get a 3 day liberty weekend this weekend and get to go back into the city! He said they don't actually start school until the 18th, mostly doing paper work this week! I am so happy for them all! Still hard being away from them but a lot better than the last few months!!!
