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 lori on February 5, 2011 at 12:25pm: Joanne- sent you an email. Gave you my "limited" medical knowledge about the nodules. Feel better soon my friend.

Betsy- you have inspired me to put a care package together for V day for my son. Looking at what was in the pic of what you sent was it very costly in postage? Is it best to take things out of their boxes to eliminate as much weight as possible? What were some of the "favs" of your sons?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 4, 2011 at 11:56am: Joanne, you poor thing. ((hugs)) I hope you feel better soon. :)

Comment by lori on February 3, 2011 at 6:53pm: Something to look forward to for sure!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 3, 2011 at 5:08pm: I hope you all still are able to get together when I get there this summer. :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 2, 2011 at 11:59pm: Lori, thanks for the welcome back. I'm going to check in here first every morning. I just have to stay in touch with my lovely Maryland ladies. :)
Cindy, that is so wild, our alumni group has a birthday calendar with our sailors names and addresses. We send all our sailors' birthday cards. Aren't we Navy Moms just awesome? LOL

Comment by lori on February 2, 2011 at 9:35pm: Betsy- welcome back! I know you've been a big help to the new moms on the other sites.

And what a great mom you are too sending that yummy care package to your boy!

I've sent smaller packages [ they cost a bundle in postage!] but yours looks like a feast! MY son didn't give me such a nice thank you like yours did!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 2, 2011 at 8:46pm: Joanne, my prayers and thought go out to you and your mom. ((Hugs))

Lori, prayers for your for continued good health. ((hugs)) Congratulation to your son. That's so exciting that he will be getting order soon.

Denise the pictures is awesome!

Debbie, how exciting! I bet you can't wait.

I've been MIA for a bit, trying to help out on some other groups. My son is still doing his ATT classes in Pensacola and from what it seems, he will have a wait for A school. I've got to share this picture with you all. He posted it on his Facebook with the caption. "I love My Mommy' It's so nice to know that he appreciates his care package. :)

Comment by lori on January 31, 2011 at 9:59am: Joanne- praying for you today.

Denise- thanks. Can I friend you as I'd love to ask you ques about how things are with you 4 years "after"?

Cindy- yeah we need to catch up on our "Paul's"!!

Comment by lori on January 29, 2011 at 11:16am: Denise- loved looking at the pic. I'm hoping my son will send a pic of his school division. He just graduated A school yesterday at GL and now is waiting for his orders.

I am also a breast cancer survivor coming up in March to 4 years. It has been a long road but I believe it has made me stronger in my resolve to treat my body better. Congrats on your 4th year!
