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 broken_heart on January 18, 2011 at 6:50pm: Thank you Annie, call me Tina please. I really do need to hear some positive responses for sure with my youngest deploying. My middle son was 8 years Army under Bush ... dont need to say anymore, lol

Comment by broken_heart on January 16, 2011 at 4:42pm: Hi to all of you in beautiful NC. My name is Tina and you will probably hear lots from me in the next months. It is so good to know there is a site where we can gather. My son finished A school and is based at Virginia Beach.

Comment by mattsmom on January 1, 2011 at 6:21pm: glad to know there is a North Carolina moms group. My son has been to boot camp graduated and now is at A school in Pensacola. So proud of him.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 30, 2010 at 1:31pm: I should really check this page more often lol. I am in Western NC. We had almost a foot of snow here in Brevard. My sailor made it home Christmas Eve and was supposed to go back on Sunday. She got to leave 3 days late because of the snow which made me very happy :). So glad the snow didn't arrive a day earlier or she would have been stuck in VA. Glad to see it is warming up for the New Year but I don't expect it to last lol. We normally have 6 in of snowfall a year. Last yr we had over 42 inches and this year we are off to a good start. I hope everyone has enjoyed the holidays and if you didn't have your sailors at home I hope you do soon.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on December 30, 2010 at 1:18pm: Mossgirl, My son also went to Hammond two years ago for Christmas during BC, he said it was certainly not home but it was away from the camp.

MommaBecky, I know what you mean about enjoying the snow...last year we got lucky when Chris came home and we had the snow on Jan 29th or something like that. He and Casey and Storme played Wii in my den all night after going to Olive Garden for dinner. Then he and I went sledding. The heart attack put a damper on my sledding this year but he finally got a white Christmas while at home. Also, I am thankful to your daughter-in-law for driving my son to the airport Tuesday.

Comment by sunshine73 on December 27, 2010 at 4:52pm: We got about 5 inches here in New Bern. It is supposed to be 65 degrees Saturday(Anchors Aweigh Party day). The weather here is so crazy.

Comment by duhhuh58 Ship 10/Div 267 on December 26, 2010 at 6:26pm: outer banks here, snow started about noon and we have about 2", been sittin on the couch drinking coffee laced with kahlua watching it snow, stopped now. norfolk naval is closed to all but essential personnel.

Comment by Mossgirl4 on December 26, 2010 at 2:20pm: Still coming down lightly in Charlotte. We had maybe 5 (?) inches, but seems to be melting off the roads this afternoon. Got a very nice phone call from my son in GL yesterday. Thanks so much to the fine folks at First Bapist Church in Hammond, IN for feeding him, giving him a phone to use and letting him know they appreciate his commitment to our country.

Comment by LaurieM Ship 2 Div 902 on December 26, 2010 at 12:01pm: Rural roads are terrible here. Even had a DOT road plow wreck and go off in the ditch and flip over near our home this morning. Interstate 85 is not bad around Charlotte. Unfortunately, I have to go into work at 11 pm tonight.
