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 DocRenee on December 25, 2012 at 10:22pm: Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone on this site. Thank you all for your support and information. I greatly appreciate it as I celebrate the holidays with my son prior to him reporting on the 30th to Monterey.

I find the help I've received here invaluable. Bless all of you!

Comment by NYRican924 on December 22, 2012 at 9:34pm: Can't wait for my sailor to come home on the 27th. He'll be here til Jan 3rd. Many sailors have already left DLI to go home for Christmas. He's looking forward to going to the Alamo bowl to watch UT play Oregon State! Ahh, Christmas :-) and he will finally graduate on 7 February, it's been a long 19 months in Monterey.

Comment by MSgtRet DIV 912 on December 21, 2012 at 12:34pm: @Tx Thanks and again, best to you and your family!

@Noni While it has been many more years than I want to admit since I was there, Monterey is a beautiful town. Enjoy your visit.

And to all CTI families: all the best for a terrific holiday and great New Year!

Comment by TxNavyDad on December 19, 2012 at 11:58pm: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. We are very blessed and fortunate to have our SR home as most of you know.

For those of you who do not have your SR's home, we are most definitely keeping ALL the SR's and their families in prayer for peace, understanding and most of all our God's blessings. May this holiday season not be one of emptiness and sorrow, but of thanksgiving and praise that your SR's are where they want to be. Being excellent representatives and protectors of our great nation.

Our nation has the strongest military in the world.

A force of VOLUNTEER DEFENDERS!!!

We have mighty warrior man and women that stand firm and say...

"Sleep well. No harm will befall you on MY watch!"

You just don't get any stronger than that.

Thank you to all our past, present and future defenders for protecting us all.

God Bless you all!!

My daughter gets home from Monterey at 1am Friday Morning. It's the first time we have seen her since BC PIR on 6/8/12..... We cannot wait to have her home!

Comment by Lisa (A-Mac's mom) on December 19, 2012 at 11:23am: Add my name to the list of moms doing the "happy dance." My guy arrives SOOOOON for Christmas leave. It's the last time we'll see him until graduation. His time in Monterey is flying by for me. I'll bet it's dragging for him.

Comment by Noni on December 19, 2012 at 11:15am: 2 days until we are Monterey bound! Suitcases are out, clothes getting packed & gifts tucked inside. Big stuff already shipped. Can't wait to get my hands on my "boy", his lovely wife & our 2 beautiful granddaughters!!! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Thank you very much. Will most definitely stay in touch and keep y'all updated and will be back for sure.

When we picked him up from the airport last night, he looked so good and was so glad to see us as we were him. We were waiting for him at the exit from the concourse to the main terminal by security.

We saw him coming to the exit and my daughter ran towards him and literally jumped into his arms and the rest is beautiful family history. Happy tears were flowing.

My wife asked him one question about bootcamp and boy, the stories that followed for almost 3hrs straight were great. We stopped by his grandparents house on the way home from the airport (his grandfather is ex navy from 1950-1954) who had no clue he was home yet. This was a HUGE surprise for them. Anyway, he is still asleep, now at 825am, resting VERY comfortably and will get up when he is good and ready. No revile in this house!!

Buttermilk pancakes, bacon and OJ are on the menu this morning. YUM!

A HUGE Thank You to everyone for your prayers, words of wisdom and just being a true family. You guys are the best!

Happy Holidays to all from Texas.

We are keeping everyone in our prayers as always.
