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 LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on June 7, 2010 at 10:55pm: I'll try to remember but watch my FB and you'll see when I get it. LOL

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on June 7, 2010 at 12:43pm: Liz, let me know when you get the call tomorrow!!!! I'm so excited for ya! If I don't hear from you I totally understand, but I know you'll be shouting from the rooftops once that call comes in. Safe travels to Great Lakes! Enjoy Chicago, and enjoy your time with Ian!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on June 6, 2010 at 10:45pm: C- thanks for the prayer. I don't have this group going to my inbox right now so I have to remember to check it. I spend so much time in PIR 6/11 and Div930 that OOPs I'm neglecting this one. Sorry.
How was your Eagle stuff? all well in your world? WE have Ben's project and then on that Sunday two of our boys in the Troop have their Eagle Court of Honor. So I think I get a Week of scouting LOL
Thanks for keeping Ian in your prayers. I always say never can have enough of them. I did tell Ian that while he is in BS21 the he is not alone there are so many praying for him and supporting him. LOL He said Yeah mom I know Thanks!

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on June 5, 2010 at 12:28am: Liz, Here's the prayer for Batttle Stations 21. Feel free to share it with the other moms from Ian's division and PIR date! Will keep him in prayer, you'll be on pins and needles til you get that phone call. I didn't sleep at all the night Christian went through, just kept waiting for the call....when I got it, the tears of pride just flowed.

Comment by Christine-Christian's proud mom on September 22, 2009 at 8:51pm Delete Comment Dear Lord as we the mother's and father's of new and soon to be sailors gather here tonight bless us with your unconditional love and give us the strength required to get through the following days. Protect our son's, daughter's, husband's and brother's as they complete this, the first leg of their journey, in the service of our country.

Take our worries from us and help us and guide us as we unite here one family in heart and soul.

In Jesus's Name
Amen

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on June 5, 2010 at 12:23am: Liz, YIKES is right....hope all goes well with his project! I'm sure it'll be fine, but you just never know until it's DONE!! June is crazy month for you, PIR, Eagle project...busy busy busy girl you are....I'm going to look up a prayer that we moms had for when our kids went through BS21, I'll post it once I find it...:-)

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on June 3, 2010 at 11:20pm: Congrats to J on his project. sounds like a wonderful one. might have to have my youngest do something similar. :D
My middle is working on his project this month they are building a shed for the football team. everything is a go. we'll be busy the 23-25 of June. YIKES this month already.

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on June 3, 2010 at 10:40pm: Update on Jordan's Eagle project...tonight he's talking to the county veterans coalition. Hopefully the groups will start kicking in some money towards the bench. It's going to be so cool. Going to keep him busy this summer, lots to do before Veteran's Day dedication.

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on May 19, 2010 at 10:19pm: My younger son Jordan is making a presentation for his Eagle Scout project tonight at the American Legion post meeting. He'll do fine I'm sure, he knows how to turn it on at the right time. It's a cool project, honoring a local Eagle Scout who earned his Eagle on Nov 11, 1966 and went MIA in Vietnam. A granite bench at the county court house in a very nice quiet, shady spot. The goal is to have the dedication on Veterans day this fall.

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on May 8, 2010 at 9:15pm: Ladies, have a very happy mothers day!

Comment by Christine-OS2 proud mom on April 27, 2010 at 10:35pm: It's so hard to believe that tomorrow Christian will be 19 and is in the Navy. This time last year we had just celebrated his Eagle Court of Honor and was looking forward to prom and graduation from high school. Then it was bootcamp, now it's him on a carrier, wow! time flies! Happy birthday Christian, I love you very much, miss you a lot and hope you have a magical day! I'm a very proud Navy mom!
