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."

What an amazing photo memory of such a wonderful event!!!! Congratulations to Cam and Tomoko!!!

I just returned from a nice visit with Chris and his family. I was giving him an update on Cam since we got your update. He's glad to hear Cam is doing well!!! Chris is leaving in a few weeks for training in preparation for a deployment "over East"!!!

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on June 25, 2013 at 7:09am: Carl and Irene, Wow!! That's all I can say......Congrats to Cam and Tomoko. Does Cam plan to re-up? Or does having a wife make him want to take his education and put it to civilian use?

Comment by BarbRags on June 25, 2013 at 2:09am: That is an amazing picture.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on June 15, 2013 at 4:44pm: IS Has c school which many of the rates only have an A school. If you are learning to be a fueler on a carrier then you only have one level of schooling. Nukes, IS, maybe Crypts, IT, and Corpsman, are some of the few that have both an A school and C school. Many of the schools such as MA are only 6 or 8 weeks long. Many of those folks wait longer to start school than attend classes. If your sailor gets one of the longer IS C schools then you will appreciate seeing them between the final graduation and his or her first duty station. Especially if they go overseas where they can't get home as often, or they go directly out to sea where they can't call home often.

Comment by BarbRags on June 15, 2013 at 10:50am: Does anyone know why IS doesn't come home after A school and other rates do.?. He said after C school.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on June 9, 2013 at 8:12am: Ellen, I tested her last night but she may have already been in bed, she usually gets up very early before she goes to work. She did not text me back this morning so I'm not sure what's up with that. If nothing else she tends to have Wednesdays and Thursdays off so I might see her at facebook. I will keep trying to text her or will try to call this evening after she leaves work.

Comment by Ellen005 on June 9, 2013 at 12:52am: Thank you, Mary, I look forward to hearing something. Thank you again.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on June 8, 2013 at 9:08pm: I will see if I can get one of the reservist's mom to come on and help address this. I know her son has struggled with trying to find something close to Kansas City, and has to drive a few hours to get to his duty station. I have not talked to her in awhile so maybe I should call her up and check in. I will see if she can help or maybe her son can help.

Comment by Ellen005 on June 8, 2013 at 8:24pm: Hi ladies. Anyone know if there is an IS Reserves unit for sure at the base in Everett, WA? My son is hoping to be able to transfer out of his current duty station, Everett wouldn't be too terribly far away....

Comment by Anna on June 8, 2013 at 7:44pm: Carl and Irene,

So glad to hear from you and that all is well with you!!! And especially good news from Cam!!! I hope he's liking Fallon!! So do we have wedding bells in the future??????
