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 Deborah on April 22, 2010 at 1:42pm: Actually my Son is assigned to the CVN70..I was just looking for another Mom that has someone on the shio :-)

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on April 22, 2010 at 12:34pm: Hello Deborah... was just in San Diego to welcome home a couple of ships! One was CVN70!! Met lots of the sailors aboard... are you looking for someone??

Comment by Deborah on April 22, 2010 at 11:48am: Anyone with a Sailor on the CVN70??

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 19, 2010 at 11:13am: okay, I am not crazy. I thought I "knew" from the NY page. haha. although, I do know of one sailor who has already been transferred off the NY. did your son get a pc? I don't remember.
The NY was an unusual one for us to do, as we really just do deployed military and some injured ones.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 19, 2010 at 9:55am: Gloria, wasn't he on the NY?

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 19, 2010 at 9:54am: flannel sheets would be good too. but the sleeping bag does sound cozy. the berthings are cold.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 13, 2010 at 10:25pm: great photo Kelley!

Comment by melanie on April 6, 2010 at 6:22pm: navymom-58 - Shelton's Mom, sorry again! It has taken me forever to get back here! The munchkin, who is currently demanding my attention, which would explain why it always takes me forever to get back here, is 7 yrs. old. She's delightful but VERY time consuming!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on March 25, 2010 at 11:13am: Hey Pat saw an article that the Nimitz made it home. did you get to do a tiger cruise?

Comment by melanie on March 23, 2010 at 3:48pm: Hi navymom58 - Shelton's Mom! sorry it has taken me so long to respond! Life has been a bit chaotic the last couple of weeks! My son, Paul, is with the 143 Superhornet Squadron currently deployed on the Eisenhower. Avionics electronics. He called Saturday. It was sooo great to hear his voice!

What does your sailor do?

Oops! I have to go get my munchkin off the bus! I'll be back!
