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 Helen, T-man's mom on March 29, 2013 at 12:43pm: With all the money they put into the San Antonio, you'd think they'd have a great computer system also. I like how the other two ships give updates for the families. They need to fix that.

I'll work on the pictures I took when they left. I should have them up by tomorrow the latest.

Comment by Linda73164 on March 29, 2013 at 10:49am: I will certainly be there whenever it may be! I remember hearing or reading something about being notified thirty days in advance of their expected home coming date?

Comment by jacquehdz on March 29, 2013 at 10:42am: I look forward to see the posted going away pictures since i couldn't make it. I will be there when they come back, anybody making plans yet? lol

Comment by Linda73164 on March 29, 2013 at 9:21am: I read Tanner's email to you to my family, they were cracking up!

Comment by Helen, T-man's mom on March 29, 2013 at 9:02am: Linda & Reba, I'll be posting the pictures I took when they left the pier. It might be tomorrow. Apparently, no one did anything while I was gone. I have a pile of work to do on my desk and a venti Starbucks to go with it.

speaking of Starbucks, I hadn't had one in a month. Drank a grande and venti on my drive home. I was WIRED!!! I didn't get sleepy AT ALL!! LOL

Comment by Helen, T-man's mom on March 29, 2013 at 8:59am: Hey girls, I'm finally back home!!!!

Linda, that is so awesome for him! Like Reba said. what an honor.

I've heard from my son at least a dozen times. This was his funniest post so far. They were still crossing the Atlantic. I fixed his spelling errors...

Well so far deployment we get ice cream scoop portions that makes tiny Tim grateful for what he gets to eat. Chow lines are like amusement park rides, retarded long. They gym is a fire hazard due to the fact that there are so many marines and no one wants to do blue and green hours. The best part is everything smells like sweaty balls all the time. Well I hope your cruise wil fare better than mine and asking are we there yet doesn't help the situation.

At least he has his sense of humor.

I heard from him this morning. He says he's excited but still wants to be home. I know he'll make the best of it as he always does. Keep the joy son, keep the joy!

Comment by Linda73164 on March 29, 2013 at 8:17am: I saw all the new pictures they posted. I don't understand why the S.A. isn't at least giving some verbal updates as to how everything is going, similar to what the Carter Hall did.

Comment by Linda73164 on March 29, 2013 at 8:15am: Thanks, Reba! I get very short (maybe ten words!) emails from him, he gets right to the point and doesn't give me any backup as to how anything happened, but I'm very proud of him.

Comment by Linda73164 on March 29, 2013 at 7:55am: I received an email from Nicholas this morning, he was asked to make the cross for the ship's chapel. What an honor!
