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."

B sent me a text saying he picked up his car from the parking garage in downtown Norfolk.  No damage (storm or vandalism) and it was free parking ~ yeah!  He is currently at the Norfolk mall so they are open for business as usual today.

My son is back at his apartment in Virginia Beach after spending Friday night thru this morning in Norfolk.  He says there isn't any damage......nor flooding.  They are without power.  But he says it's one of the most beautiful days he's ever seen.

I just talked to B. He was standing on the flight deck of the Enterprise and he said the sun is shining and the wind is finally gone. He is getting ready to catch a cab to downtown Norfolk to get his car. I've been worried about car being vandalized so I asked him to send me a text when he gets to downtown Norfolk so I know he made it safely and that the car is okay.

Continued prayers for those still in the path of this storm.

@Sandra AM Mom ~ I am actually in the Dallas area but lived in the Edmond area until 4 years ago. Hubby and I moved to DFW for his job in the Summer of 2007. My son stayed with his dad in Edmond when we moved to Dallas so he could finish high school there. He went to school in Edmond from K-12 and graduated from Edmond North in 2009 and attended UCO during the 2009-2010 school year. My mother-in-law lives in Bethany and my sister-in-law lives in Mustang so we're in the OKC quite a bit. I'm a huge Sooner fan (as evidenced by my screen name). My son is stationed on the Enterprise. Where do you live in OK?
Comment by Sue(Daniel's Mom) on August 28, 2011 at 2:07pm
Thank God this is past Norfolk.  Talked with Daniel and he is good. They never loss power and minimal damage to his 4-Runner.  Have already contacted the insurance company and they have a tentative schedule to fix the broken truck window tomorrow.  Hope all of you have heard from you sailors and that all is well with them. Daniel said he will report on Tuesday morning at 5:30 am. Thanks to all of you for being here during this tough time.  May God continue to bless you and yours.
