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 pahoapam on May 26, 2010 at 10:37am: he called back late last night -said he knew I would be up worrying! He had seen the doctor. He said the Doctor said knee problems were common because your body is designed to run on soft sand with heavy boots on. He also said he was "running the wrong way." Showed him the treads of his boots and told him to get a trainer to show him the correct way to run. They also said that if something is seriously wrong now is the time to fix it! So I feel a little better this morning. Thanks guys-what would I do without you all!

Comment by wyomingmom on May 26, 2010 at 10:02am: Pam. I am so sorry. I am pryaing for you and your son. Keep me posted. Thanks for the shirt for you know who. That was a cool thought.

Comment by pahoapam on May 26, 2010 at 1:20am: OK Ladies-here we go...it's 1:30 am and I cannot sleep...my sailor is on LLD (light Limited Duty-in case you haven't learned that one.) Something is wrong with his knee. He "thinks" it is temporary, but sounded like he was being brave for my sake. No swimming and no running for a few days. Please pray for him-if you don't believe in prayer just send good thoughts, please. I am praying and trying to believe that every thing happens for a reason, but I feel kinda sick inside....he wants this soooo bad! I seem to be back on the rollercoaster!!!

Comment by wyomingmom on May 25, 2010 at 3:13pm: proudlimom--feeding the neighbors is a great idea. Anything to get rid of it, before it turns into a science experiment in the fridge. LOL I would do just about anything for a sunburn right now. This weather is gettting on my nerves.
Pam--got the package today..she is at the dentist right now---our grad gift for her...a filling and a cleaning. HAHA not really. I watched the utube video on your son's facebook. It was educational.

Comment by proudlimom0721 on May 25, 2010 at 10:26am: Hey Pam--I went on yesterday after we talked and it was so cool!!!! Thanks, have a great day everyone!!!

Comment by pahoapam on May 24, 2010 at 11:23pm: For those of you with sailors already in CA if you would like to see where your son is living and what he is about to do go to youtube.com and type in SWCC training 2010. For those of you with sons not there yet go and have a look at where he is headed!!! Night everyone!!!

Comment by proudlimom0721 on May 24, 2010 at 9:58pm: Wyomingmom--Congrats to your daughter on her graduation!!! I am glad all went well.....I know what you mean about leftover food.....I usually feed the neighborhood after I have a party!! LOL I hope you can now relax a little.....Snow, I can't believe it!!! It has been so nice here....my husband has sunburn!! Welcome Costello's mom!! Have a great evening everyone!!

Comment by Costello's mom (SHIP 4, DIV 814) on May 24, 2010 at 7:56pm: No it is a nickname he gave himself a while back. :) Im so proud of our recruits. :) Got them all in my prayers. :)

Comment by wyomingmom on May 24, 2010 at 5:47pm: Hello Friends. All went well for the high school graduation. Other than my house is a complete and total disaster and I have way too much left over food in my fridge. LOL. Thanks for the good wishes Pam. Still waiting on the little somethin' somethin' you sent. ?!?!?! To Costello's Mom...if that is his last name, I recommend you not use it either. First and last names, esp for special ops is a big NoNo. However welcome to our little world here on N4M. Oh and just to let you all know, it snowed here today. Summer....where are you?

Comment by Costello's mom (SHIP 4, DIV 814) on May 24, 2010 at 1:24pm: Pahoapam, thank you for the advice on the names. I have changed mine once again. I dont want to do anything wrong that will get him in trouble or mess with his safety. I will let him know if anyone asks who Costello is, it is him. Please have recruits find him, they all need to know we are all friends on here :)They will like that. You all have a great and blessed day. I am keeping all your recruits in my prayers.
