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 DavesMom on July 10, 2015 at 10:54pm: AmyS, that's priceless. Thanks for sharing. I'm so glad your Sailor made it home to be with his dad.

Not sure if anyone is interested, but there is a query on the facebook page asking if anyone is interested in getting together on the 18th. No place or time set unless there is enough interest. So far most folks are unavailable and some have suggested a hiatus until fall. Just to keep everyone in the loop.

Comment by AmyS on July 10, 2015 at 9:02am: Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. Even though it seemed like forever to get him here, my son has been home for almost 24 hours now and it made my husband a very happy man to see him. My son laid down with him and caught him up on what was going on in his life and then they napped for a few hours. Seeing him sleeping there with his dad was so sweet.

Comment by Geckostorm on July 9, 2015 at 11:23am: AmyS sorry to hear you are going through this. I hope you are holding up okay. Any news about your husband or son?

Comment by JJ on July 7, 2015 at 12:22pm: I am so sorry to hear the news of your husband. I have sent out many prayers for you, your family, and special prayers that your son will get home on time. Please let us know of any changes. Remember that we are all "family" and are here to support you and your family. Let God watch over you and comfort you.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on July 6, 2015 at 11:38pm: Prayers for God's intervention in this whole situation, and may He give you comfort and peace.

Comment by DavesMom on July 6, 2015 at 10:44pm: AmyS, praying that your husband can hold on until your Sailor gets home. Prayers for strength for you, too. Caregiving is very rewarding and very demanding. Peace to all of you.

Comment by mariecb on July 6, 2015 at 7:51pm: AmyS - my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I pray your son gets home to see his dad and for you to support each other. I can't imagine what you are going through but we are here for you.

Comment by Firestar3 on July 6, 2015 at 2:28pm: Sending prayers that your son makes it home in time. Hugs to all involved.

Comment by Debbie on July 6, 2015 at 1:38pm: Prayers for you AmyS. He has to make it. My heart is breaking for you & your family.

Comment by SaltyMama on July 6, 2015 at 11:27am: oh my goodness AmyS I'm so sad to hear this. I will pray that your son will get leave and can get home as soon as possible. Hugs to you and your family.
