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."

My mother pass away this pass friday Nov. 20th. She lived in Puerto Rico. I just got back yesterday. It was not easy for us. My brother and didn't get a chance to say goodbye to her. It was a masive heart attack. The one who had it worst was our sister who found her. Its not easy especially around the hoildays. My son was able to get leave from his command so he arrived also yesterday to be with me. I am so greatful to them for letting him come home for this. I surely needed my son here with me it helps a whole lot. To all of you who send your thoughts and prayers thankyou. Thankyou for being my extended family

Comment by Gloria P. on August 23, 2009 at 7:00pm: My son has arrived to Hawaii safely. WOOOHOOO

Comment by Gloria P. on August 22, 2009 at 11:58am: Well my son is on his way to Hawaii. Saying goodbye at the airport was so hard to do. Couldn't stop crying. Counting the hours for that call saying he arrived there safely. His dad and I miss him so much.

Comment by Gloria P. on August 20, 2009 at 8:40pm: Hello everyone its been awhile since I've drop by. Our son will be leaving on saturday to his new station. Pearl Harbor, Hi. We are happy and excited for him but at the same time sad to see him leave. Having him home for the last 2 weeks have been great. Now that he's going so far we know it will be sometime before we will see him. Well I guess this means planning a trip to Hawaii. :) :)
