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 Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on March 21, 2010 at 1:17pm: Ruth VH, that is so awesome to have your son a part of a wonderful organization! I would be proud and bragging too! I clicked on the link for the website and found his picture. Love his smile!!! So proud of our servicemen and women!

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on March 20, 2010 at 7:31pm: Ruth - Thanks for sharing. I'm sure that you are very proud of your sone. It is a wonderful thing that he is doing. I read about the organization earlier when you posted about diveheart. I still want to let my nephew who is in the National Guard know about it when he returns at the end of the month from a class in Australia.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on March 16, 2010 at 9:32am: Ruth VH, that sounds awesome!! So proud of Chris and others helping the vets and ww's.

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on March 13, 2010 at 10:34am: Wish I could be there, especially since Jackson isn't that far away, but it won't work out this time. Hopefully the next. I'm sure you will have a wonderful time. Enjoy;)

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on March 12, 2010 at 2:44pm: My Sailor and his buddies from the Lapeer Recruiting office will be playing Paintball on Wednesday, the 17th in Davison. Diego has played for years with his friends so it should be a blast for them.

Comment by Navy for Moms Admin on March 12, 2010 at 2:15pm: Hi Michigan Moms! Have fun at your meet up this weekend! How many will be attending! Take lots of pictures.

Have a great weekend!

Comment by asiasyolanda on March 9, 2010 at 11:21pm: Hello All. Well, I found the group and am so glad to know that I'm not the only Michigander with a daughter in the Navy. She just graduated on friday and is supposed to be arriving in Pennsacola for A school tomorrow. I miss her already. Thanks Chris for the welcome and it was really nice talking to you while in Chicago. Good luck with your boy and I'm sure we'll be in touch.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on March 8, 2010 at 1:38pm: Thank you, Uli. No haven't found a place or job yet. I am working on that, but it is difficult when I am still here in Florida. I am so ready to just pack up and leave here right now, but obligations are stopping me. It will be June before I know it, though.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on March 8, 2010 at 10:30am: Welcome mamaj! So happy to see our Michigan N4M group growing. I can't wait until I am physically back in Jackson, MI to be able to meet with you all. I am shooting for the first week in June to move. Allen graduates from Dog Handler Training School in San Antonio, TX on April 1. Then has a month of leave to visit everyone before he ships out for 1 year to Diego Garcia. So excited that he is graduating as a full-fledged K-9 Handler!!! Going to miss him a lot, and they are expecting their baby on his birthday September 27th. It is so neat that the baby is due on his birthday, because he (Allen) was born on his father's birthday almost 22 years ago. Looking forward to meeting you all!!!!

Comment by mamaj on March 8, 2010 at 10:07am: hello! I am new here..my son graduated from GL last Friday...what an amazing experience!! He will be staying there for is A school..we are from Albion...anyone nearby?
