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."

It is called Mal/Generia - A and it is a major risks. I got it off, but I had emailed to this site and to some personal sites. I don't know if you can get this, but be on the safe side please. Promise - before I get on any Navy for Moms sites - I will sweep my computer first. Very sorry if I caused a problem. T-Lynn

Comment by T-Lynn on July 10, 2009 at 4:01pm: Carol,
You just created a new site - the Spoiled Navy Moms! And I am right there with you. I know what you are feeling and that is not being selffish or spoiled. It's just plain missing. ANd I have been told by my mother - who's brothers served in WWII ( three were younger too) , when news arrived about the war - all she could think of were her little brothers. My Alex is my baby - and even though he can pick me up - I miss his voice, doing his laundry - fixing his favorite cake - playing battle ship - getting a kiss good night, etc. There is something missing in this house. And yes, the turtle does miss him too. So I'm the second member in the Spoiled Navy Moms' site. Oh - you better correct that name to Spoiled Japan Navy Moms and Navy Dad Group. Don't want Mark to feel left out. Gee Mark - have I started the picking on you again? Take care Hugs Carol and Hugs to all of us just missing our sailors. Have a good weekend. Spoiled Navy Mom T-Lynn

Toes - ankels - knees - fingers - wrists - elbows - and eyes all crossed. Share your news after he calls! Now Mark - did we pick on you so much that you had to create A Navy Dads' site? Or is this the site where you can have a nice cold beer and gossip? T-Lynn :)

Comment by Kim on July 10, 2009 at 9:44am: Brenda, I sent you a friend request with my facebook link. Good luck to your son.

Comment by T-Lynn on July 10, 2009 at 8:56am: Good Morning Brenda,
Thanks for teh information about this Facebook. Not sure what it is is, but I have to get the courage and search it out. Please keep us posted about your sailor's move to Spain. Would like to know he arrives safely adn likes his new place. You really don't have to leave the site - just come back for visits and share :) Have a good day and thanks again. T-Lynn

Comment by Brenda Sue on July 9, 2009 at 10:59pm: Hey, Look what I found on Facebook. Click Here

It is lots of pictures of the MCPON in Japan with LOTS of pictures of individual Sailors. I thought someone in here might see one of theirs!! If you join Facebook, be sure and request my "friendship"!!

Sorry, but I am leaving Japan Mom's now - mine is headed to Spain!!

Comment by T-Lynn on July 7, 2009 at 1:46pm: HI,
I wish he had gotten a picture, but what an honor for your son, Mark. Thank you for the definition of Cobra Gold. And I will be passing along what a marksman your husband is with the blow gun. I will share how well my sons develope their talent and how many times they visit ER. Still trying to finish the letter to my son. Have a good day everyone T-Lynn
