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 Kellymcd11 on April 20, 2011 at 7:29pm: Angie, thought about you all day today. it is so hard to leave them. I htink we have such a hard time because they are still so young. I dont know, maybe it would be the same if they were older to.

Worried for Jan hope she made it to her mom in time. I know how important that is.

Chris is homesick. but my mothers intution tells me that is more about not being able to talk to Alyse (gf) She is on a school trip to Ireland and cannot call.

Angie- it is easy,(i just learned) I copy a picture I like and then hit the t box or the image box on the top of the comment box and then paste. It was by trial an error. OOh and Colby in Hawaii whoo hoo. that is Awesome.....what a beautiful place.

I am also anxious to hear about Jessica.

Comment by BigGaMoma(Angie) on April 20, 2011 at 6:00pm: ~~~~ Just got home from Atlanta Airport~~~~~~~BOY!! That was TUFF STUFF.., he said last night, he was so excited but, it was harder to leave this time...My sister has tracked his flight and keeps us updated...We left the airport and headed home & he was flying across San Franciso Bay BEFORE we got back home!!! Boy, he don't like for me to cry...

I hope Janet's ok....and her Mom...

ADM60~~~ too cute...ours LOVES to ride the Polaris Ranger...I have a mini weiner dog and Colby left me a grandchild, she's blk/wht Boston Terrier..we LOVE her...never liked those types of dogs b4, but, she provides alot of entertainment.....

Kelly, you have to teach me how to do all of that....

Good night to ALL of you Ladies....just got home and church time now....PRAYING for ALL of US!!

Comment by NavyMomKim on April 20, 2011 at 7:16am: Janet~~please try to keep us updated on your Mom's condition.

Adm60~~Cute dog!

Kelly~~love the graphics about friendship!

Janie~~Like your ideas about what the Sailors could do with their limbo time...maybe Navy Moms should be in charge of these things.

Comment by janlee on April 19, 2011 at 8:39pm: Kell---OMG you are too NICE!!!..thanks so much guys...thanks for the messages on FB too to those who sent them..talk to you all when i get back,...heading to the airport at 4AM, so i am going to bed...GOOD NIGHT ALL...:))

Comment by Kellymcd11 on April 19, 2011 at 1:45pm: Jan- thinking of you today sending love and prayers.....We are here for you

Comment by janlee on April 19, 2011 at 1:25pm: adm60--youre welcome..im SO glad because that pic is adorable!! SO SWEET!. Your dog is very handsome..lol! I bet he (she?) just loves it out on the water. Does he ever try to jump in?? You need to get him a collar that says NAVY on it...haha!

Thanks for posting it.:)

Comment by adm60 on April 19, 2011 at 12:16pm: Well that sure worked---thanks janlee! Sorry about all these sailors on hold--Ive got a feeling that something will come up a lot sooner. Also probably lots of time for study--and it is spring...and they are safe. Perhaps no consolation to them but I think its great!

Comment by Janie (Ship11~Div.59 Alumni) on April 19, 2011 at 12:01pm: I just talked to my daughter, she may be on hold at Lakes for a month and a half until she finds out her orders! She said there are about 30 or more awaiting. She also stated that there are some that just left Lakes after being there for three months waiting. And all they can do is clean, she said we are cleaning the same stuff over and over. I told her get some PT in and its a shame they don't let you sit in on other classes or such. She can't come home until she is given her orders. I must say this is not productive on anyones part. These kids are just in limbo. Hope your sailors are doing better than mine, but I guess I have to look at the bright side, at least she's safe and has a roof and meals.

Comment by janlee on April 19, 2011 at 11:37am: Janie---i cant believe that they wont let Jess come home for a few days!! Are you able to make the trip there?? Do what Angela and Kieth did,,,,drive all night and surprise her..LOL!! Max is still on hold in CT. He said he has been standing watch for 6 HOURS at a time, and cleaning the same things 4 times a day. He is so frustrated, so tell Jess that she is not alone.

It sounds like we are all going thru a blue period right now...hopefully its short lived. Kelly-- i can just HEAR the sadness in your posts!! I hope to see (hear) you all smiling again soon..:)

BTW...Janie/Kim...are you guys going to the beach??...lol...that sounds awesome!! Take lots of pics and send us all a postcard..lol

Adm60---THANKS so much for trying to post something to make us smile.. Just the thought of you doing that made me smile..LOL!...also. when trying to post a pic on here, you need to click on the icon on the top of this comment box that says 'image' when you point your cursor at it. A lot of people have had problems with that when we were in our PIR group...hopefully that was the problem because i would love to see that pic of your dog in a sailboat!!!
