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 mel on October 12, 2011 at 11:41am: Hey,

My sons first assignment as an Operations Specialist is in Norfolk, on the Admirals' staff. He went to A school right after boot camp, and is coming home today for 2 weeks. Does anyone know what he will be doing?

I'm looking for a site which relates to poetry in the Navy. (mom and son sailor) to be specific.

Does anyone have a link?

Let me know.

Thanks,

Mel

Comment by momoftwosons on October 10, 2011 at 9:30pm: Thanks Christa - it's pg 16 and 17 on the on line catalog... the # for the navy warmer is DSW-PAT-NAVY and the price is $35.00 plus tax. its under the premium warmers

Comment by Christa (Proud Navy Mom) on October 10, 2011 at 8:25pm: Hi, Julie F and momoftwosons. I was able to find the Navy warmer by performing a search for Navy once I selected the N4M-USO party. Here's the link to the warmer. https://juliesalemo.scentsy.us/Buy/Search?query=navy

Comment by momoftwosons on October 10, 2011 at 8:20pm: I just read the msg about no warmer - contacting the rep and will post asap. thanks. I couldn't find it either.

Please note that all proceeds from this fundraiser - being made are going to the USO for all their help and support of our Sailors/SRs both here in the airports and abroad.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on October 9, 2011 at 5:03pm: A friend is having a Scenty party soon and I will be ordering two of the Navy warmers. I have to see what I can order for the candles as I have terrible allergies anymore. I can pretty much only do vanilla or mulberry and I love the mulberry!

Comment by momoftwosons on October 8, 2011 at 1:38pm: Oops - forgot to add the link for the Navy warmer below

Comment by momoftwosons on October 8, 2011 at 1:28pm: This warmer can be ordered and sent directly to you. I wanted to share with all N4M. This is a fundraiser - with the proceeds being donated to the USO. As you know they take care of our sailors both here at the airports and abroad. I couldn't think of a more worthwhile cause - Look thru the catalog towards the end for the special value deal. Be sure to click on N4M-USO. Great smelling holiday gifts too.

Comment by Maria ( 9/132 - HM- 04-2011) on October 5, 2011 at 6:39pm: Devil doc mom, that is a great story. Thanks for sharing.

Comment by Batmansmom531 on October 5, 2011 at 8:41am: I like many of the moms here feel proud, scared, anxious and melancholy.....i tried to prepare myself for when my kids grew up and didn't need me as much, buy I didn't anticipate me needing them more. My oldest son will be leaving for basic on 10/26 four days after his 20th bday, I miss him already...
