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 Chris, Forever Ray's Proud Mom on February 20, 2012 at 3:12pm: Helen, nice pic, enjoy him, my son smiles now too....

Vickyrun-too funny, forwarded it to my son for a laugh as well.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on February 20, 2012 at 2:54pm: Ari'smom... ahhh yes...May/June is just around the corner. We sure look forward to any time we can get with our sailors, don't we?!! Those few days go by soooo quickly. I feel bad for them...everyone wants a piece of them when they're home...family..friends.

Keep us posted and let us know when your sailor receives her orders!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on February 20, 2012 at 2:49pm: Vickyrun...very cute graphic!

Comment by Vickyrun on February 20, 2012 at 1:05pm: I found this graphic, I thought it was good as the "Mom Thinks" pic is excatly the picture in my mind of what FCs do.

Comment by Navymom on February 20, 2012 at 7:50am: ProudGMBarb
I am guessing it will be about a month to two months before she gets her orders for C school. She did mention she is going to try and come home before she heads to C school so I'm guessing May or June. Not too far away.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on February 20, 2012 at 4:06am: Helen...I've got goosebumps right along with you! Sooooo exciting!

Love the smiling pic! Have a wonderful reunion!

They will love the sky diving....our sailor did it before he went to bootcamp! Just him, not us old farts...no way! We were just spectators!

Comment by Odi_Ship09_Div140 on February 19, 2012 at 11:22pm: Helen - wow!

Comment by Odi_Ship09_Div140 on February 19, 2012 at 11:13pm: Helen - what a life changing thrill! I searched the facebook page and found A school grad to share with grandparents. Son does not realize the pics make us tear up! Now I will look for advancement pic

Comment by Odi_Ship09_Div140 on February 19, 2012 at 11:07pm: Arismom - son graduated mid January and got orders about a week ago - he was not expecting to hear yet but was thrilled.

Comment by R'sproudmom on February 19, 2012 at 9:55pm: Helen, sounds so exciting. We have so much to look forward to. Please keep us posted and that means pictures too. If possible.
