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 medic mom on October 9, 2012 at 7:06pm: Thetwoj so sorry to hear that. As Pat said stay and support us all. We can always use more supporters.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on October 9, 2012 at 4:57pm: Thetwoj, Honey, there is nothing to be embarassed about! I'm so sorry that it didn't work out for your son. God must have something else in store for him.

Also don't feel that you have to leave us! Once a Navy mom, always a Navy mom. You can still help us support all our troops and have fun with us, too!

Comment by SandySea on October 9, 2012 at 3:08pm: Thetwoj-- so sorry your son is leaving the navy. I wish him luck on whatever path he chooses to explore next. Thank him for his time in the Navy. Peace to you and God Bless.

Comment by Thetwoj on October 9, 2012 at 12:17pm: My son just called with the horrible "Bad News" and he is being medically discharged for suffering from cluster migriane headaches. He's always had them, but the stress was making them much worse and they ended his Navy career today. I'm sad, and a little embarrassed, but I have to just hold on to the knowledge that God has a plan and this just wasn't it. Good luck to all of you, and be proud that your children are serving their nation well. God Bless.

Comment by medic mom on October 4, 2012 at 4:13pm: Yeah Pentwater! I am glad that the 27th will work. Congrats on the year down. Celebrated that with my son in July. Hoping more of you gals can make it on the 27th. Would love to see you gals. Been way too long since we have seen each other.

Comment by Pentwater98 on October 4, 2012 at 6:54am: This is the first time I have been on here this week. It's homecoming week at our high school crazy busy here.. Medic the 27th looks good for me too. Today is my Sailor's 1 Year Anniversary... He FB status says one year down and 19 to go... Looks like he is going to make a career out of the Navy... Love it...

Comment by AngiePNMx2 on October 2, 2012 at 2:08pm: Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery. That somebody never watched her "baby" get on a plane headed for military boot camp
