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 October 19, 2010 at 9:21am: haven't had a chance to reply- I wasn't going to be able to make it but I would really like to meet you MD moms sometime. Sally - thanks for organizing this. Trying to get a date that everyone can make is going to be difficult- go with what works for you.

Comment by lori on October 13, 2010 at 12:59pm: joanne- going to email you. Had a wonderful time with Paul. But only got 2 days instead of 3 as he had duty on Sunday he couldn't get out of : (

Comment by lori on October 8, 2010 at 9:46am: I also would like to know where the Rams Head in Savage Mill is. It would be fun to meet you moms. And see you again Joanne!
I leave today for GL to see my sailor for the weekend. I am so excited as I haven't seen him for 5 months now. I won't be on here till I get back late monday night.
Hope it works out to see everyone.

Comment by lori on October 3, 2010 at 7:45pm: Hello all! just got back from a weekend in Williamsburg. Got to be with 2 Navy moms and one of their sailors from the Norfolk base. Met one of the moms - diannep for any of you familiar with her on your PIR groups- and her son for the first time. It was great to meet her. And another mom who I had gotten together with before.

I would love to meet all of you on here! Savage sounds good.

Cindy- can't wait to hear all about your time with Paul. Great pic! I know you were beaming from ear to ear all weekend!

Comment by lori on October 1, 2010 at 1:13pm: Cindy- you're having a wonderful time right now i'm sure! Holding onto your Paul like you never want to let go! Staring at him wondering when the "boy" left and the "man" took over! It brings back memories of our Paul's PIR. Have a wonderful time there. Pics please when you get back!

Comment by lori on September 29, 2010 at 8:25pm: Wonderful news Cindy! So sorry you didn't get to talk to him :(
Friday is soooo close now! Put the plastic bag over HIS clothes NOT on your head!

Comment by musicmom of a Sailor on September 29, 2010 at 11:55am: She should go down into Southern Maryland along the Chesapeake Bay. There are several little towns down there. Solomon's Island is also a nice area down here. Calvert Marine Museum and lots of stuff on the water. They even have a winery down there. If she like history type stuff, she should check out St. Mary's City.

Comment by ProudOfMySon (Ship 09 Div 291) on September 29, 2010 at 8:40am: Congrats to you and your son Cindy!! Can't wait for my turn - seems like forever. LOL
