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 Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 21, 2010 at 3:39pm: Stephanie, I have been wondering where you were. Are you feeling okay? Have been praying for you.

Any news from the PAO and the pillowcase project. Time is slipping away and perhaps we should consider something smaller for Christmas. I have been chatting with Pat, the mom from the Nimitz. Her group is doing the Truman this year and they are well into their planning. She is an invaluable resource for information.

Comment by DCCampbellWife on April 21, 2010 at 1:15pm: Hi, my name is Bre my fiance will be goiong to the USS Lincon in the next few weeks, he will be going on the Lincons next big deployment and i was hoping to find a few friends who's men will be going too. I will be moving to washington to his base in the next year. Please fell free to add me on here, i just need a pen pal buddy for a while,
Thank you Bre

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 19, 2010 at 11:00pm: The ship has about 3000 personnel and when the airwings arrive the numbers swell to 5-6000. The support personnel for the airwings are already on-at least my son's is. They are waiting for the planes.

Welcome Kim! So glad that you found us. She is one of my awesome HAE crew members. We've been chatting for months on that page and just found our sons will be on the same ship.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on April 19, 2010 at 9:13pm: Hi, Ladies! My son is stationed in San Diego but will be on the Lincoln for awhile with his squadron. He is an AM and works on helicopters.

This will be his first trip on a ship. Any info would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks Sue for telling me about this group.

Comment by JulieK on April 19, 2010 at 5:21pm: Thanks for posting the web cam links. I've never used them. I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch them coming or going, but I hope so.Does someone usually post a message when they can see the ship come in? Can you see the ship the entire time it is in either port? My brother lives in San Diego and works on North Island, so my son was able to see family the last time they were there. In fact, the ship was about 1 1/2 blocks from my brothers office.
My son was able to get into the barracks after the ship got out of the yard. Good thing too! He bought a snowboard and was able to go snowboarding several times this spring. I received an email today from him.He said he was getting used to his schedule of very little sleep. He also shaved his head. He makes me laugh.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 19, 2010 at 9:47am: Yes, I do talk in sewing or cooking terms. the other day at one of the schools I work at, I refered to the groups of kids I was working with as a "batch". one real smart little boy, looked at me so indignatly and said "I am not a batch, like a batch of pancakes". It took all I could do to not howl with laughter or have an epizoodic.

thanks for the links ladies and Martyzmom for the personal one.

Comment by DCCampbellWife on April 18, 2010 at 11:22pm: Hi my name is bre, My fiance will be on the Lincon in the next few weeks, im looking for friends that will have someone on that ship, please this is all new to me! thank you of ryour time ~Bre

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 18, 2010 at 6:43pm: Dolly, love your tales and I have cracked up by myself in a store. and people do look at you a bit odd. Now I am going to say that I am having an epizoodic-of course I still can't figure out how to say it, so that should really scare them haha!

Hey Linda, you did better than me. I haven't figured out how to find the webcam thingy. I know there was a link posted, but didn't want to look in back pages for it.

Hey, could a mom make a link thread? that would be so cool and would help us other moms who can be challeneged with the computer!

Lorraine, welcome. Sorry no info on the barracks, my son lives off base.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 18, 2010 at 9:27am: Stephanie Alice has taken that project on. check the pillowcase thread for the most current information which is from March. She was waiting for someone from the base to get in touch with her.,

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 18, 2010 at 12:11am: great picture M Mary! I was out this morning and really didn't have any idea when to look or where for that matter.
LInda, love the photo of you and your handsome sailor in front of those big numbers!

N4M started about 2 years ago when the Lincoln was deployed but I didn't know about it until after the cruise was done! This is better.
