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 janlee on May 8, 2011 at 10:13pm: HI Kelly--i missed you guys. i agree about the 20 minutes for N4M's. I could use some familiar talk, being i really dont know anyone there yet. I cant wait for PAYDAY though. Feels good to be out using my brain, interacting with something other than laundry..LOL

Comment by janlee on May 8, 2011 at 10:08pm: Hey guys....i had to share this with you ladies..LOL!! Mitch came home for summer break 2 days ago, and i just went to their FB pages to leave them a message telling them how much i love being their mother and this is what i saw posted on Max's page from Mitch...hes such a joker and EXTREMELY funny. i couldnt stop laughing:

hey what's up #1 son? not too much here, just got done with work. yeah i was thinking about joining the navy so maybe someone in this family would recognize me, Butter even spit in my food yesterday and called me a pussy. that's the pot calling the kettle black, huh? anyway, yeah i'm just tired of being forgot about, mom made me wear a printout of your face duct taped to my head for the first day i was back here. i also just got home and realized i was locked out and no one thought to give me a key. it must feel good to be on top...

Comment by Kellymcd11 on May 8, 2011 at 9:13pm: Welcome Back Janet!!!!!!!!!!...ya work sucks.....It should be a mandatory 20 minutes N4M break at all our works...and to those blessed enough to stay home. A break is in order for you too.........God knows it is more work stay home....

Comment by NavyMomKim on May 8, 2011 at 7:01pm: I had a wonderful day with my Mother and 3 of my 4 children. The Ironic thing was that Doug called when we were all together having lunch. I just got home and told him that I will call him back. Made me feel bad when he said that he wishes that he was there with us. Cannot wait until June 3rd!

Love you guys...thanks for being an ear to listen..Happy Mothers Day!

Comment by Kellymcd11 on May 8, 2011 at 5:08pm: Janie...I dont know why but I read that poem and broke down in tears....Mothers's Day hasalways been special between Chris and I. He was the only son that made sure I had a gift and it was always a meaning full one. So I missed that....I got a quick call from him but that was about it......My husband tried to fill the void by given in and getting me a kitten...lol.......

So happy for you Mama Bear getting to spen Mothers Day with your son.

I think all of us who were fortunate enough to have our kids home already stared at them constantly especially when they slept...I remeber Chris sitting in the recliner watching TV and then looked at me and said "Mom why are you starring at me, you are freaking me out"....lol..I chuckled to myself...he will understand when he has children.....they jsut dont get it sometimes.........

Comment by Janie (Ship11~Div.59 Alumni) on May 8, 2011 at 11:20am: I found this poem and I think its fits all of us.

Your
Coming Home

In thrill I wait, you’ll soon be home
Your land, past
oceans white with foam

...I brave each day till our eyes meet
Your treasured
heart, I miss its beat

Such want to have you close to me
Will soon
come true, God let it be

When you arrive I won’t be shy
You’ll see
excitement, I may cry

I’ll rush to hold my soldier tight
With all my
heart and all my might

Emotions will so fill the day
I’ll be the
child who loves to play

I’ll beam with pride to be with you
You are
the best, no doubt, so true

The time we share will help me
through
When days do come without dear you

Your coming home is all I
need
Be safe my precious one, Gods speed

Hope everyone is enjoying their Mothers Day! Love ya all!

Comment by barb(♥MYAO) on May 8, 2011 at 10:19am: HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! God Bless each and every one of you!! Have a wonderful day!!!

Comment by Janie (Ship11~Div.59 Alumni) on May 8, 2011 at 1:08am: HAPPY MOTHERS DAY !!!! I wish you all the best to my NAVY SISTERS! Barb you are right, she said he seemed shy but wasn't sure, just quiet. Good thing he didn't hang near Jess to often, he'd be talking up a storm and like a Sailor! lol She's a tough little cookie and can keep up & hang with the guys. lol

Mama Bear probably can't sleep right now, she's on "excitement mode" too. She gets to have her Sailor today! What a great mothers day gift! All the waiting to hold him, then he arrives! Its like the day he was born all over again except without the pain! lol

Ok GIRLS, enjoy your day! Love ya's!
