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 Paymaster on July 11, 2011 at 12:48pm: The big news in our house is our son got Frock'd yesterday. Yeapee! Another promotion accomplished.

Comment by lsP3Orion on July 10, 2011 at 6:51pm: Hi all - been gone for a long weekend. Any news from Shelia & Flyboymom - were you able to get together Friday? Any news from Leslie - can't seem to find any updates :(

Comment by Paymaster on July 8, 2011 at 1:09am: Linda....Mine has been to the sand box three times just not this summer. This summer he is hunting pirates ( hense the Elmer Fund voice). Is there something I can help you with?

Comment by Linda on July 7, 2011 at 9:14pm: HEY I am looking for Moms of helo pilots going on deployment this summer. I have some questions.

Comment by AH on July 6, 2011 at 6:44pm: Chris, they have a great training facility and staff out there in Lemoore. She will be great. If they didn't think that she could handle it, she wouldn't be going out to the boat. I haven't heard from my DS in 2 weeks, the brat. I am just hoping that he is getting some rest. He got back from 3 weeks in Alaska doing an exercise with the CG, Marines and AF. There were about 6000 involved and I know that he was glad to be home, but missed the clear air up there. Those of you that have been to Lemoore know that the air is not very clear - year round.

Good luck to everyone doing their DETS and CQ's and deployment. Better still, good luck to us us Moms and Dad.... to get through it all. Our dear ones laugh, but just wait til they have to worry about their kids. And kids they will always be!!!!

Comment by lsP3Orion on July 1, 2011 at 8:26pm: Chris - you may want to delete some info in your last post. Good luck to Erin with everything!

Happy 4th everyone!!

Comment by Rose on July 1, 2011 at 7:18pm: It was good to hear the instructors and how much they care about our loved ones getting the training for situations we hope they never need, but if they do ~ they will be ready!

Comment by lou2949 on June 30, 2011 at 10:00pm: Thanks for the update P3Orion....was getting worried!!!!

Comment by lsP3Orion on June 30, 2011 at 9:47pm: Hi everyone,

I am taking the liberty to let everyone know that I just heard from one of Leslie's sons. Flyboymom and I met him when we visited with Leslie last month and because no one had heard from her, I sent a message to him via Facebook and he responded and said that "she's doing fine, just can't move real well without pain so she's sleeping a lot and doesn't want to use the computer" - so keep her in your thoughts and when she's ready, I'm sure we will hear from her.
