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 Kathy on September 18, 2011 at 8:08pm: Glad everyone is feeling better these days.... Let's all stay healthy now!

Chris - CONGRATS on your big news! Very exciting, although very hard to send your DD off, I am sure. Love the picture!

Feels like fall in IL, too. We went from very hot and humid, to chilly. I thought we were supposed to have a few weeks of fall, but it seems to have slipped right by. Maybe in October.

Hope everyone has a good week ahead!

Comment by AH on September 17, 2011 at 4:36pm: My best friend's son in law is Army. When he came back from Iraq on R&R, he was in his uniform until Dallas but then changed from his BDUs to civilian clothes to come to Denver. They are told not to travel in uniform, but I see a bunch at the airport all the time. When we flew to and from Pensacola in 2005 for DS OCS grad, there were a bunch of sailors traveling in dress blues.

Comment by Julie on September 17, 2011 at 3:01pm: Congratulations Chris!! You have so much to be proud of and now mother of the bride:) I hear you on the SERE recap- really crueling.

Will DD be in Japan 6 months?

Comment by Julie on September 17, 2011 at 1:54pm: AH - thinking of you and your family as DS goes back to the boat- such an emotional experience. My DS goes back out on the Enterprise in March. Now in Pensacola at an intense "flight safety" school. Prayers keeping all of our men and women safe on the Lincoln.

Comment by AH on September 16, 2011 at 2:57pm: DS is leaving again to go to the boat tonight. This is the 2nd to the last time that the Lincoln sails out of Everett. At the end of their cruise later this year, it will be going to Norfolk to be refueled. Nuclear fuel I'm assuming. He won't complete this cruise as his assignment with his current squadron will end. We will get to see him in October before the deployment as we are going out to Lemoore for the airshow there the middle of the month. Can't wait to see him.

Wishing the best for all of our aviators and families. Have a great weekend.

Comment by lsP3Orion on September 15, 2011 at 3:28pm: Flyboymom- thinking of you today and hope that gives you the relief you've waited for!!

Comment by Growlermom711 on September 15, 2011 at 2:13pm: take care Flyboymom!

Comment by lsP3Orion on September 14, 2011 at 12:02pm: Navy wife and mom; Leslie; Flyboymom; and Vickie - you all look great, I see bracelets!!

Hope food was good or at least the setting was good :)

The recent losses are so sad to hear and will keep those families in our hearts!

Comment by Growlermom711 on September 11, 2011 at 4:17pm: living on Long Island,I remember going to Jones Beach and watching the smoke in the distance, in disbelief that those towers could be down remembering the silence in the skies when no planes were flying.We are a bedroom community of Manhattan, so things just stopped-no trains, no subways,no one going "into the city" my son was in flight school in Pensacola,and we couldn't reach him. they asked who was from NY and took those students out of class to tell them first what had happened. My brother-in-law and 3 nephews are firemen, and spent weeks at Ground Zero. I hope in my lifetime I never have to experience something of this magnitude again.we as a country will endure, but nothing will ever be the same again!

Comment by Kathy on September 10, 2011 at 11:18am: Praying for Liam and his Mommy....

Love the Mustang photo...

Sounds like everyone is just about settled into their next "adventure" of training...

My DS is flying high this week after his first 3 flights in a super hornet! I wish I were closer and could see/hear more about it, but I can tell in his voice that he is living his dream (which began in about 3rd grade)!

Finally, this is an emotional weekend for our country, and I pray we never have to experience an event like 9/11 ever again. God bless all those who protect us: our children and famly members in the military, all members of the police and fire protection forces, and our government leaders. PEACE!!!!
