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."

For His anger endure but a moment, and in His favor is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comets in the morning. One of my favorite verses in the bible psalms 30.5
Glad to know everyone is well yooohoooo as you know my daughter would have been 27 on May 5 died at 21 but I'm keeping it moving got to, went to the Cematary on her birthday and there was no headstone!!!! I walked around thinking I'm at the wrong grave site, no I wasn't losing it I was at the right spot. They said they accidentally moved it!!!!! You cannot imagine how I felt. I called everyone all the way to the attorney generals office. In an hour it was back down, but I'm still mad... Sorry folks for venting how can you accidentally move a headstone??? But anyway got a question my son applied for a chit to come home for 30 days he said it had to be signed by a few people does anyone know how long that usually takes? He is in Yokosuka working at the naval hospital. Thanks

Comment by T-Lynn on May 8, 2016 at 11:09pm: HI

Wishing all a wonderful Mother's Day and Great Aunt Day too.

Maggs - doing the happy dance!!! Remission !!!! Amazing and my fingers are crossed for a LLLLOOOONNNNGGGG Remission! Will look for a money spell. I will send it along. But until - positive vibes coming his way. Well, you forgot to mention - how is Angel?

AntiM - sending positive thoughts. And I honestly hope this is the last bump in the road for you. thankfully, your home was safe from those down slope winds. they sound as mean as our straight winds.

Blondie - I use to think your computer just had a visiting Gremlin. But I think it moved in. Try placing a quarter under the computer. Never take it back. The Gremlin might take it and leave the computer alone. Gee- what a day to little Conor. But what a sweetie he is - glad it worked out. do hope all works out for your BIL.

Hi KIm :) glad to see you on. I had to laugh - Your son will station in San Diego. My sailor just mentioned he might be going to back to Japan. Wow - how the Navy works.

Hi to new moms - do know how you feel about keeping in contact with your sailor when they go out to sea and visit different ports. But what information was just shared - please follow. It is for their safety. And sometimes you have to just wait - wait - and wait for them to contact you. Then you come here for hugs.

Have to share, my hubby and I have done something we have never done before. We found that we had some extra funds - for once. So we thought about paying off a bill. Well, we didn't. Instead we just purchased two tickets to fly to San Diego to see our sailor!!! He has asked and asked for us to come to him fora visit - ever since he was stationed stateside. We never could - but this time - we put him first. He is so happy, he is like a little kid - trying to plan our visit. for the first time in 5 years - he will get to celebrate with his dad on his dad's birthday and our 39th anniversary. When plans are finally - I will let you all know.

Hey go to get. Hope all had a wonderful day. Sweet dreams all hugs
