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."

Seems like Dev goes through that when he gets to a new place for a week or so and then he gets with the program and life is happy again! A 96 is great - your boy is on his way!

Comment by Sharon P.M. on November 17, 2009 at 10:11am: Hi All! Found you! LOL Actually, this is the first I've been on the computer in days, my house is a disaster area, the hubs gutted my bathroom while on vacation last week, refused to hire a real plumber, decided he was doing it all himself. Needless to say, I hired a real plumber on Sunday afternoon after going 24 hours with water off and no end in sight! You'd be amazed at just how much you cannot get done with no water! Dev has his ticket to fly home on Thurs, will find out today if he can actually use it! Fingers crossed!

Comment by TexasDocMom on November 15, 2009 at 4:40pm: Okay, I'll break it to you now, they might say they miss mom, girlfriend, wife...but this dog knows better...tissue alert:

Comment by TexasDocMom on November 15, 2009 at 12:25pm: Pam! that's great news! good for all of your family!!

Yes, the kid has been home, as of last night he has left for his new apartment in San Antonio, his buddy from the 2/2 days found it, and his uncle came up with some furniture which he brought down to them from New Mexico. My son is hunting down a used washer/dryer and misc stuff to furnish it...like a bed. I haven't gone into his room here yet, it seemed those duffle bags exploded when he opened them two weeks ago! I had two house concerts in that time, and you can see that room from my living room! so...I shoveled the stuff up on the out of sight bed, vacuumed, straightened all in sight, and put a wooden screen in front of the bed. I got a few pictures, kept hearing "I'm home in Texas, mom, there will be picture taking time..." BUT he and I spent an hour rolling that darn scarf for his dress blues for reporting to duty as a blue side corpsman, and then he put all his ribbons and those tiny pins on it, and when I asked him just to pose for ONE shot...no. Jerk. grrr. The kid is back.

Dog story...little Rosie has hosted a dozen house concerts, she's very friendly. BUT that first one when the kid had just got home, she was very possessive of the recliner...her favorite spot for lap time and sitting. She growled! yes, growled at my friend Mo, when she went to sit there...and jumped up to guard it...all the time staring at Matt! She only wanted her lap favorites in that chair!

Has Kristine found her way here?

Comment by TexasDocMom on November 14, 2009 at 8:33pm: What was happening with the other corpsman site? I've been lost in the dark ages of genealogy and kid home on leave...
