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 JudyM on February 18, 2015 at 10:46am: Susie, we have all had to learn that same valuable lesson. So glad it was good news.

Comment by ulua on February 18, 2015 at 1:37am: Congratulations Suzie! What awesome news and so happy he is assigned to a base close to home. I'm sure you will be smiling for days!

Comment by JudyM on February 16, 2015 at 11:01am: Cheri, I will be there!

Comment by CheriH on February 16, 2015 at 8:53am: Suzie...I've been thinking about you and praying for you and your DS and his CQs this week. Hope you've heard successful results by now! I remember how stressed I was when my DS did his in the T45. Can't imagine what it will be like when he gets to the F18.

Helomom...hope your DIL is recovered and doing great. So thankful it wasn't cancer.

NavymomBarb...don't know if anyone has answered your question yet. But what your DD is experiencing is totally normal. And it's totally normal for her to be frustrated! It seems that they schedule the students who are the farthest along in the training first and the newer students last. So, it does get better as she goes along. It usually speeds up a bunch at the end. And if her Onwing is gone, then she probably is just sitting there til he gets back. They do give them a refresher flight if it's been too long since they have flown. Hang in there...it is tough listening to them when they are frustrated. But just wait...they days when they've had a fantastic flight are pure joy to listen to.

Jamielss...congrats on the successful CQs!

JudyM...great pic! When I see those reunions is when the sacrifices made become very real.

Welcome to our new moms! We are glad you have joined our special group. Let us hear your thoughts, questions, joys and frustrations. We can answer, empathize and rejoice with you.

Paymaster...I'm headed your way this weekend. Once I get there and get the lay of the land I'll let you know and we can get together. Baby is due the 26th. And JudyM...maybe I can meet you this time!

Comment by NOAM on February 10, 2015 at 9:12pm: The boys (and yes they will always be our boys!) are in my prayers Suzie. I'm sure they will do well.

Awesome pic Judy - can feel the joyful emotion. :-)

Comment by JudyM on February 10, 2015 at 6:04pm: Wow, Susie, CQs can give a Mom gray hair. Hopefully he will have an easy time.

Comment by Helomom on February 10, 2015 at 5:09pm: Love the photo, JudyM.

Comment by ulua on February 10, 2015 at 3:24pm: Congratulations Judy! What a great photo and I hope you get to give him a big hug soon too!

Suzie, prayers for you and your son this week, CQs are stressful. Hope you get that happy phone-call soon!
