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."

Yes ProudNavyMom, I don't hear from mine as often as I would like either. I know they are busy in school so I try not to bother him during the day. I know we are all so proud of our boys!!

Comment by Annette on March 13, 2014 at 9:45am: Kristen's page is here, for homemade goodies for your sailors; https://www.facebook.com/KsHomemadeSweetsNTreats

Comment by LaxDogsMom on March 13, 2014 at 1:03am: My sailor's birthday is coming up on the 25th. Can someone please post the cake person contact info? Thanks!

Comment by mrsb on March 12, 2014 at 5:22pm: Yes Fathomom, I've had just about enough of the wind!!! There is a hummingbird nest with two babies in it outside my kitchen window and I'm amazed that they are still there with this horrible wind. I worried about her all night, since I couldn't sleep because of the wind. That's one tough little mama bird, a lot like all of us I think!

Comment by FATHOMOM on March 12, 2014 at 5:18pm: Oh mrsb - you are so kind! I will remind our son if anyone out there could use a baked goodie! I have been thinking of sending another cookie or goodie our son's way - just to help with a smile during A school. He was soooo happy to receive the cookie for his birthday. The wind is pretty wild here, I can only imagine what it is like in your neighborhood! BIG HUGG!

Comment by mrsb on March 12, 2014 at 4:32pm: One of my son's buddies had a birthday almost 3 weeks ago so I sent him a belated birthday cookie, via Kristen, aka K's Homemade Sweets and Treats! She does such a nice job making smiles!!

Comment by RaggedyAnn on March 10, 2014 at 7:15pm: My heart and Prayers go out to this family, and all who were close to this Sailor.

Comment by navymom2013 on March 10, 2014 at 8:35am: This is the worst thing I could ever imagine could ever happen to one of our sons or daughters. I have been crying since last night. God Bless all our children and loved ones and certainly this boys family. I pray for strength and determination to continue even when the feelings to quit are eminent. God bless our Sailors and all their Families. May this child rest in peace.
