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 J-RockyMtn on August 8, 2012 at 10:46pm: Hi Gail - Alameda & Sheridan. My son went to a Jeffco HS and my other 2 attend DPS. It would be good to meet other Colorado moms. Does anyone plan a semi-annual breakfast or lunch?

This month is really packed for me. I plan an annual 5K walk and it's held on 9/8 so I am pulling my hair out between my J.O.B. and the event planning. To top it off, today - I got a jury summons reporting on 9/5! How am I going to swing that?!

My son had PIR on 7/20 so is new to the GL A school and is doing well so far. It's so nice to talk with him every day. Love Navy4moms - it's so good to tap into all the veteran moms and guide us through. Thank you eveyone!

Comment by Andrea Ship12 Div296 on August 8, 2012 at 11:02am: Ya those darn GF's... He will make it and as everyone keeps telling me no news is good news. What is a push div? I just can't wait to see my son this has been so hard. But I know he is in good hands.

Comment by Krista K on August 6, 2012 at 1:15am: My thoughts and prayers are with the Larimer family today, tomorrow and always.

Comment by Andrea Ship12 Div296 on August 5, 2012 at 10:01pm: Consider it done. I can not even imagine what they are going through. Horrible tragedy. Lots and lots of prayers.

Comment by Craig on August 5, 2012 at 9:37pm: God bless CTR3 Larimer family (mom, dad, and the brothers and sisters that arrive today into Denver. John's memorial, which is closed to the pubic, will be at 9 am tomorrow for his friends and work mates. Tomorrow will be a really hard day for this family as they try to make sense of this tragedy.

If you remember, tomorrow (Monday) at 9am if you could give a pray to this family, it would be awesome.

God bless you John...

Comment by Andrea Ship12 Div296 on August 3, 2012 at 9:19am: That is pretty funny. Can I stay there? LOL. I got his graduation date. Sept. 14th and am all booked to go.
