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."

I thought important to share:
Regarding the release of Ali Musa Daqduq….
Two short videos…the second one is with Congressman Allen West. Worth your time.

Also, if you haven’t already seen it, here is a copy of Allen West’s letter to Obama.

Hello my Navy sisters. I've been away from this site for awhile. My Mother passed away in January. Needed a break to take time for my family. I hope you and your Sailors have been well.
My son graduated from C school May 4th.
Vickyrun.. My son met his ship in Norfolk and he is also in New York for Fleet Week. How exciting!! I hope our Sailors take pictures.

Chrissy is going to Fleet Week in New York City! She left on her ship today, I am so excited for her and a little jealous. I was born in Highland Falls, NY when my Dad was at West Point, we left when I was two, and I have never been back there.

navybluemom-you've raised a great young man! that attitude will take him far into wherever he ventures. but we'll still keep him in our prayers! we always worry so much more than they do--until they are in our shoes. lol
GoldnG8r-hope you get to see those pics, I'm glad you get to share in his joy. I don't' think they know how much we live thru them!

navybluemom....I'm so sorry about your son's hearing test. Did he have any hearing problems before he went in? Any idea what happened? Let's keep our fingers crossed he can stay in and still be doing something he loves. (((((Navy Mom Hugz)))))
