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 btmom on September 22, 2010 at 8:37pm: Ruth, sorry about the friend, prayers for him and his family. Where are you that had storms last night?? I'm in lower NW and no storms at all. Sharon good luck to your son, I lived for "mail call" while my son was in BC. He is home now, leaves for Sasebo Japan on Oct. 5 for 3 years.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on September 22, 2010 at 3:38pm: Our son left for GL yesterday. To be honest I didnt think it would be this hard. I thought I was prepared, but NOT! We have tears since he hugged us before getting on the bus for the airport. I was doing good until he turned to me and was crying! Then we all lost it! He was able to call us and his girlfriend a few times before getting to the base. We got "the call" about 8:30 P.M. and it wasn't long as we knew it wouldn't be. Now the waiting and counting the days begins.

Prayers for the family that hubby was injured. How sad for so many have been injured and killed. Senseless!

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on September 22, 2010 at 1:40pm: Ruth, thanks. Heard from my son that he will be leaving for his A school in Charleston tomorrow! Judging by the exclamation points in his message, I'd say he's really happy. Yay!

No storm damage for us, but that thunder and rain woke me (and the dog) up around 4 a.m.

Comment by Paulette,Rob's Mom on September 22, 2010 at 11:42am: Jackie
The dance is for moms, dads, grandma, grandpas anyone that wishes to come. I will e-mail you the flyer as I can not get it to download here. Anyone else wanting info just e-mail me at pgloden60@hotmail.com or pm me and I'll get you the info.
Ruth, I will keep the young man in our prayers. We just heard of a boy from our area who was injured also. It's just too many for too long now.
All of you with storm damage will be in prayers also. You would think this was Spring not Fall but hey it's MICHIGAN
Love to all.....Paulette

Comment by Paulette,Rob's Mom on September 20, 2010 at 12:17pm: Jackie, So hope you can come it is $20 a ticket and includes the entertainment and the supper. Yes it by the Blue Star mother, chapter 180 we serve all of Macomb and St Clair counties. our next meeting is on Oct 6th at the VFW Bruce Post on Jefferson. Please come if you can to that also. along with any other moms in the area would love to have you.
Kathy B yes e-mail and I can give you all the details, hope you can make it also.
It sounds like we are all having a very busy time with our children. Maybe it will calm down with the fall coming, but then Christmas is only 3 months away.

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on September 19, 2010 at 6:36pm: Hello, all. My son, who's in the THU right now, should be heading down to SC in about a week or so (we hope!) for Nuke School. I think then we'll feel like things will be really getting started for him, since he was injured during boot camp and things were delayed.

It's fun with the PIR groups, but I like the idea of being part of the Michigan Moms group!

Comment by Jaz04 on September 18, 2010 at 8:41am: Ruth, I love your sons posting. He really has a great way of thinking it out. I hope the best for him.

Comment by btmom on September 18, 2010 at 8:28am: My son will be going to the Navy clinic in Sasebo. He's coming home Monday, we are meeting a friend at Sawyer, MI and bringing him home. He flies out of Chicago on Oct. 5 so we'll have a few days. He has lots of friends he wants to see too.

Comment by CathieRenee on September 16, 2010 at 10:14pm: Hope everyone is doing well. My son was home for a short visit, only 5 days, as he is going back to the Middle East very soon. It sure was wonderful to see him.
