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 Anita on October 19, 2011 at 10:54pm: JoJo - Wow! What a nice thing to say! Thank you! (and I'll remind you of what you said at a later date :))

Comment by Anita on October 19, 2011 at 9:43pm: No, you don't have to have anyone with you. But I figured my son would be busy doing his job and probably would not have very much time to spend with me. I just thought it would have been nice to have someone I knew come along with me. Sorry for the misconception.

Comment by Anita on October 19, 2011 at 4:44pm: I was never able to take advantage of a Tiger Cruise with my son on the USS Ronald Reagan. No one could go with me unfortunately. I won't have an opportunity anymore, because I don't think my son will re-up after his shore duty. Oh, well, I can still visit him in San Diego!

Comment by Leann on October 19, 2011 at 4:22pm: So awesome - did not even realize this opportunity was out there for families.

Comment by Sherri (mom of Kirsten) on October 18, 2011 at 3:28pm: I love your pictures Jane, what a great adventure. I can't wait til its my turn but that won't be for another year and half. Something to look forward to.

Comment by Anita on October 18, 2011 at 11:08am: ThanksMom - would LOVE to go to San Diego sometime! I'm sure my son would love to have a bunch of Navy moms descend upon him. Ha!

Comment by Anita on October 17, 2011 at 9:40pm: Thanks for sharing, Jane! It really is an eye-opener, isn't it? And I didn't even stay on board over night, just for the day. And exhausting is right! So glad you made it back safely. Sleep well.

Comment by Leann on October 10, 2011 at 6:54pm: Thx Diane, that is what I am doing. Will be seeing him over Thanksgiving. Hoping to get a better feel for how he is doing. When he doesn't call or text I figure he is at the school house so I give him his space. Thanks for the encouraging words for the Mom :)

Comment by Diane1954 on October 10, 2011 at 2:53pm: Leann: My son is also in nuke school. He's been there a bit longer than your son, as he arrived in July. Just be real supportive & encourging. I know it's really tough, but as my husband keeps telling our son, with each week that passes, you're one week closer to finishing.

Comment by BADma on October 10, 2011 at 11:42am: Edwina... are you anywhere near Lake Pleasant and/ or Cibola Vista Resort? We have a timeshare there. If we go up sometime for a weekend,it would be great to get together.
