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 can relate, my son was in a motorcycle accident, 2 months ago to the day, & suffered a broken wrist. Thank God, it wasn't any worse, buy our son is still out of work & will be starting PT soon, we hope.

Comment by mrsb on February 19, 2015 at 11:42am: Prayers for your son's friend tysmom, how frightening it must be for his family to be so far away at this time. Prayers for healing and a speedy recovery.

Comment by tysmom on February 19, 2015 at 11:35am: I had a a troubling text from my son last night. One of his sub friends was in a motorcycle accident and is having surgery this am, HI time. I met him when I was there last May. Please pray for him and his family. They all need to feel the presence of God during this difficult time.

Comment by mark's mom on February 17, 2015 at 12:38pm: OMG tysmom! That's great to hear! Mark is a Torpedo Man. What is your sons rate? I'm really excited that our sons are both on the same sub! :-)

Comment by tysmom on February 17, 2015 at 8:09am: OMG marksmom!!! That is the boat my son is on!!! What is your sons rate?

Comment by mark's mom on February 17, 2015 at 12:47am: Thanks tysmom, Storymom, Kevsmom93, and mrsb. We are so happy hes home for a little while. His dad and I took him out to dinner, and got to spend the afternoon and evening together. Just dropped him off at a friends house so he can spend some time with them too.

Tysmom he told me he will be on the USS Charlotte. He got a couple extra days off, so will be flying to Hawaii on March 4th, and reporting for duty in Pearl Harbor. Hope the weather warms up a bit for you back east. :-)

Storymom definitely been giving him lots of hugs and kisses. It's amazing how much he has grown up since he left for boot camp. :-)

Kevsmom93 his dad and I will enjoy every minute we can with him. :-)

Mrsb we are glad he made it home safely after having to spend a couple of nights at the airport due to the snow storms back east. :-)

Comment by mrsb on February 16, 2015 at 10:36pm: That's great news mark's mom!!! I've just been reading back, what an ordeal for him and for you!!! Glad to know that he's safe under your roof, at least for a while!!

Kevsmom,I hope you had a nice drive with your husband!!! I know it does feel like spring down here and I too wonder what the weather will bring us Californians. We certainly need snow in the mountains and rain everywhere else. I'm afraid everything will start blooming and then we get a freeze that will kill everything. I sure as heck hope not!!!

Comment by Kevsmom93 on February 16, 2015 at 9:54pm: mark's mom- that is the best news! I am so very happy for you both! Enjoy that handsome son of yours!
