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 mamawalrus on February 15, 2012 at 11:39am: Marcy, that was a great video.. My heart was beating so fast hearing the horn on those buses as they pulled in. What a great moment to capture.

Tenn Navy mom...so happy he is back! We will keep our prayers for those still there or preparing to go. Hugs to you

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on February 5, 2012 at 11:26am: Hey all, here's a great video from yesterday's homecoming in Jacksonville - rather than a news story, the camera just runs with natural sound. Awesome!

LINK: 22nd MEU returns to Lejeune

Nearly 300 Marines and sailors with Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment and Combat Logistics Battalion 22 returned to Camp Lejeune Saturday to family and friends after a 10-month deployment at sea with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit.

Comment by mamawalrus on January 12, 2012 at 12:54am: Hi all.. been awhile.. alot going on here so not much time for me.

Kim...My son was able to send me some pics and they put some of Fb as well.

I am glad to hear you are now a soon to be MIL.. did you know he was going to propose? How exciting you were able to be a part of that.

TennNavyMom.....Oh I know you are so excited! I have kept your words near to my heart and pray for your son (and you). Keep me posted.

MIkesmom...congrats on your soon to be homecoming as well!

Comment by mikes mom on January 10, 2012 at 10:10pm: TNM when will you be there ? I will be at CL around the first week in Feb : ) for my sons homecoming : )

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on January 8, 2012 at 9:09pm: In re the car pass, I got mine the day before graduation. My understanding is that the sailor has to call the Visitor Center on the same day that you are picking up your pass. The center is open 24/7, phone # 910-451-2197.

Comment by Kym Ship 11 Div 118 on December 31, 2011 at 7:55pm: Oh By the way...if you are going to FMTB graduation at Camp Johnson have your cub call the DAY OF graduation for a parking pass, not the day before. Almost didnot get in. My husband went in two times trying to get us in and they wouldnt let him. He told me to give it a try if I thought it would help. I did not drive 14 hours to not see my son graduate. I went in and asked what we were supposed to do, his phone was off and he was lining up for graduation. There was another mom there in the same boat.....That poor man at the desk did not stand a chance!!!!! I am so thankful for his kindness for letting us in!!! Thank you sir.

Comment by Kym Ship 11 Div 118 on December 31, 2011 at 7:51pm: Returned home from a week in NC with our son. So wonderful to see him. He did get engaged while we were there, We took his girlfriend with us, Weather was a little chilly but wouldnt trade that week for anything! Such a killer to leave him. Happy New Year to all!!!! Have a wonderful night.

Comment by Navy Mom on December 27, 2011 at 10:09am: Anybody else have a great Xmas? Our sailor surprised us all and came home on Xmas Eve. It was AWESOME!!!
