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 carebear77630@yahoo.com on July 27, 2013 at 9:34pm: Theresa you are right about the cover! CVN-74 oops! have a blessed weekend all...

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on July 23, 2013 at 8:00am: I think my son is wishing he hadn't gotten out. He's been home since the end of June and still doesn't have a job, has decided to wait on school and is hating the heat and bugs in Oklahoma! If it wasn't for his daughter, I think he would have already left!
I'm still staying active with Molly's Adopt a Sailor and We Stitch Love (pillowcases for the adoptions). There are kids who have little to no support from home and I know what a difference the pillowcases and care packages make to them. Sending a little 'home' to them helps their morale and that's what MAS is all about!

Comment by carebear77630@yahoo.com on July 4, 2013 at 10:12pm: Happy 4th of July! I called about the Publishing Co. about the USS Abraham Lincoln world tour book and they told me it should be out in 3 weeks so we are crossing our fingers:-) Our Sailor came home and surprised us the day before Fathers day it was a pleasant surprise to say the least. 3 EMFR i know nothing about a extended stay at any hotel.Maybe call the tourist Bureau and they can hook you up must be a few options i would think. good luck

Comment by wenplus3 EMFR on June 11, 2013 at 2:33pm: Hello all. I have been on N4M since last July but consider myself a lurker. I love the shares and comments. I do have a question. My son will be on the USS Lincoln when the USS Eisenhower returns. I am looking for an extended stay hotel from the time they return until the end of August. Can someone offer some suggestions? Thanks.

Comment by Jo1 on June 10, 2013 at 6:52pm: Thanks Megan for answering my question. :)

Comment by meagan5220 on June 10, 2013 at 9:38am: Yes the ship is in drydock, but as a new incoming sailor without any quals, be prepared for him to get sent out to another ship for a deployment to get qualified and whatnot since he has to get that done within a certain amount of time of being on the ship. As far as where they live, they have a few different places that single sailors live, most of them are barracks and they do have some apts, but I would imagine if he is just coming in he will probably get a barracks.

Comment by Jo1 on June 7, 2013 at 8:15pm: Hi,
I'm new here. My son was just told he will be assinged to the USS Lincoln soon. If the ship is in dry dock what will the sailors life be like and where do they live?

Comment by carebear77630@yahoo.com on May 29, 2013 at 9:23pm: Hi all! hope things are good with your loved ones. i still have not gotten my "USS Abraham world tour book! last i talked with them they said perhaps June it would be ready they were waiting on the ship to send some info: I will call again tomorrow crossing my fingers they will give me some good news i just cant wait to see it!! have a good summer it is right around the corner ugh im not looking forward to it it gets hot here in the great state of Texas. blessings...

Comment by meagan5220 on May 14, 2013 at 11:12pm: We adopted a puppy. :) well a new one lol! We already had two but I work with a local rescue and we got a litter in on new years, and I helped bottle feed them and we ended up with the biggest boy lol! he is part bull mastiff part American bulldog <3
