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 tammy ruth on August 11, 2012 at 8:17pm: So quite on here....hope all got to enjoy your Sailors! come on 2nd leave!!!

Comment by QMmom68 on August 8, 2012 at 6:37pm: I haven't been on in quite awhile, just wanted to stop by to say hi. I didn't get to go to Norfolk, but I was in Mayport when they came in. Got spend Saturday with my daughter, along with my husband, my son, my younger daughter, my brother, nephew and his wife, who had all joined us in Mayport. My son and husband joined my sailor on the ship for the tiger cruise, while my younger daugter and headed home. My sailor was able to pick up her car from storage in Norfolk today so her, her dad and her brother are currently making the 14 hour drive home. I'm glad my husband has got this time to spend with her as he will be leaving on Sunday morning to go train in Atlanta for a new job and will not get to be home while she is home on leave. I hope everyone enjoys thier time with thier sailor while they are home. Tomorrow is a big day in our family as my younger daughter FINALLY after a year of hard work get to sign her paper for the Navy. Couldn't be a prouder mom at this time. So glad the Lincoln has made it home safely and we can all enjoy having our sailors back in the states.

Comment by Mrs. David's mom on August 8, 2012 at 5:43am: Well ladies, it's been an emotional rollercoaster ride. I am sure sorry I missed the homecoming, my sailor would rather have us come to California to see him so thats what we'll do. So, I've got to wait a couple more months to see him. I did get to hear his voice, and recieved a text from him last night when he landed there.

So, enjoy your sailor while they are home. God will continue to bless them and their families during their service and throughout life.

Comment by Lisa (OP's Mom) on August 7, 2012 at 3:36pm: So glad many of you get to see your Sailors. We picked up our Sailor in Mayport and just arrived in Norfolk today. We've had a fun drive up. I will look for purple ribbons until we leave on Thursday.
My Sailor is being reassigned to the Reagan. He's coming home to CA with us and will be stationed just a couple hours fom where we live.
I will check in once in a while. Thank you so much for getting me through these long months. You are all godsend to all of us Navy Moms.
Meagan, enjoy your Sailor time and thanks for all of your Navy knowledge..
Love to you all. Lisa
