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."

Kaye S. Just would like to thank you for giving me your card at the Indians game on the 16th It's been "hell" for us these last few months. Many lows and highs for our whole family. Our son IT3 Tinch was on deployment with the US Reuben James when he became sick. On the early morning of June 1st we found out that his diagnosis was AML Leukemia. I WANT THIS TO BE KNOWN GOD BLESS ALL THOSE AT TRIPLER MEDICAL CENTER!!!! GREAT STAFF THERE!!!! AND THANK YOU TO ALL NAVY SUPPORT FROM THE USS REUBEN JAMES!!! When my son got to IU Simon Cancer Center on June 7th it was because of a GREAT Army Col. from Tripler. Once we had him safe in IUSCC The Indianapolis NOSC stepped in and gave us First Class service.. And A BIG THANK YOU TO SAFE HARBOR!!!!! We are back into a fight now its now a personal fight for life!!!!! GOD BLESS ALL OUR SAILORS AND SOLDIERS!!!!!

I know that there were a lot of cameras rolling on the Navy side of the field, Kaye would have contact with the Navy team Mom, who may be able to answer that request...

I had to work on the Sat. of the Navy game. Are there any pics or a CD of the game that I could send to my deployed son? I think the guys on his carrier will really get a kick out of it. Thanks.

We'll be thinking about your sailor, Karen. It's a little tense until you get that phone call. Just know that the RDCs WANT them to pass, so will give them every chance to do so. Hugs! k.

Praying my son does well at Battle Stations this week so he can PIR on 9/30 and head on out to DLI afterward. He wrote that he thinks he has bronchitis.

Good time had by all at the football game! Hopefully this will become an annual game. Hope more moms/families can make it if it does become an annual event!

Indiana--this one's for you. Thank you # 5. This has NEVER happened before! We can go months without hearing from anyone, and you have gotten thank you # 5!!! I'm amazed and ....well, amazed. Here you go:
My name is AEAN Matt Rxxxxx. I am currently deployed on board the USS George H. W. Bush. Ever since I learned of the Molly’s Adopt a Sailor Program, I have been a huge fan. I just want y’all to know that you didn’t adopt just one sailor. You and your family brightened the lives and boosted the moral of an entire shop full of Aviation Electricians and Trouble Shooters. That’s right, with one box, you brought smiles to the faces of fifteen different people.
I read that your son went to boot camp in June of 08. I went to boot camp at the exact same time. I graduated in August of 08 and went to A school in Pensacola, FL and C school in Oceana, VA. I meet my wife while in C school. She is from Virginia Beach and teaches first grade. Isn’t that cute! Now, being from South Georgia, I was taught to always be honest and to appreciate the little things in life. So, honestly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Sincerely,
AEAN Matt Rxxxxx
