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."

Woo Hoo! We got a thank you today from CLR-2

Short, but don't expect any more than that knowing what they are doing.

"Thank you very much for sending our platoon a care package. We enjoyed everything and are very grateful for your support."

This was a packing party in Illinois in Springfield.

Comment by kaymarie on June 18, 2013 at 12:31pm: I have a son leaving for boot camp in July. Does anyone else have a son or daughter leaving at that time from the Elburn area? (Batavia, Geneva, Aurora...)?

Comment by Cheryl Ship 07 Div 160 on June 17, 2013 at 11:44am: Hi Peggy (SR Hannah's mom). I live in Joliet. I have a son currently in the Navy a little over a year and a daughter who leaves for BC any time between now and late Sept. Would love to hear about Hannah and just be able to support each other.

Comment by J/J Mom on June 17, 2013 at 8:33am: Thanks Pat!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on June 16, 2013 at 8:49pm: Jn/Jf Mom, Wishing you safe travel and a sweet reunion!

Comment by Peggy R on June 16, 2013 at 8:26pm: Are there any Navy moms in Joliet, IL?

Comment by J/J Mom on June 16, 2013 at 3:03pm: Leave on Tuesday to see both our Ensign AND our Midshipman!! So excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Father's Day everyone!!

Comment by Cheryl Ship 07 Div 160 on June 4, 2013 at 5:03pm: No Pat L it wasn't you. Just said Pat and l assumed it was sent to everyone. Wondering if the email was bogus. I can't find on here either. Very strange. We are working on finding out from the White Sox to see if this is real or not.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on June 4, 2013 at 4:19pm: Cheryl, Sorry I don't know anything about it. Just know that the message wasn't from me, must be a different "Pat."

Comment by Cheryl Ship 07 Div 160 on June 4, 2013 at 11:37am: Ok N4M group, I am going crazy!! On 4/25 I received an email from Pat from this group about the Chicago White Sox Navy night. I have posted on here asking about it and no reply. Not even from Pat. There's a name and number on the email, but the contact never returns our calls. We really want to attend since our Sailor is home and it's Navy night. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. The event is June 11th, so it's coming up fast. Thanks.
