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 NevadaSierra on December 22, 2012 at 2:37pm: YEA for you who have your sailors home. It will be a decade since we've been able to celebrate a holiday with ours. Thank you and them for their service, and please givee them an extra hug from me. So, I thought that you might enjoy how my day started:

Everything I touch - falls, drops, tears, spills (breakfast from the microwave to the floor).

Okay Lord, I will slow down, count my blessings and let you have it ALL - right NOW!!!

Please no more patience tests - I've flunked beautifully.

I am grateful that we have our health, and are able to fix the leaky roof. I pray for those who need your help with leaky roof's.

I am grateful for the beautiful... tree from the Downieville Lions, and that Owen decorated it. I pray for those who do not have one, and those who are not able to share this time of Advent with those that they love. Thank you for the blessing of Owen.

The angel is missing, but I can picture one and that works better than the search. I pray for those who need an angel - please send one their way - please open their hearts to receive your angel.

Who needs ornament hooks when thread will suffice. We don't need the missing ornaments - the tree is beautiful as it is. Bless those who need them to remind them that this is the season when we wait for your son.

I was blessed to be able to clean the kitchen, and mop up the mess. Yes, thank you for the reminder that I need to be exercising instead of watching another re-run Christmas movie. Bless those who can not, and bless them with the help that they need.

The pot of tea is brewing - thank you that it was in the cupboard. I pray for everyone who is not as blessed as I am. I give my day, my life and all that I have over to you. For those who like me started today with trials that are quite trivial - please bless us. AMEN

Comment by JudyM on December 22, 2012 at 2:19pm: DS came into Sac about midnight. Now both boys are home. That is my Christmas present! I hope everyone has a special holiday.

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on December 22, 2012 at 1:00pm: Rachael,very cool! Cant believe you drove through that storm last night. Anything to get that hug, right!?!

Comment by Paymaster on December 22, 2012 at 12:13pm: Oh, the son is home! Enjoy!

Comment by Navy Mom x3 on December 22, 2012 at 12:12pm: Sam landed safely at 1:00am this morning. We got a few hours of sleep and now I'm waiting for the boys to get moving. As soon as we heard noise in the room next door, I knocked to get my hug. Eventually, we are leaving San Francisco to head home.

Looks like the snowboarding trip that was planned for tomorrow will be postponed to next weekend but that's perfect. I don't want to let him out of my reach yet!

Comment by Vickyrun on December 20, 2012 at 12:36pm: 5 more days, Tee! Chrissy is in CA, at her Dad's. She will be here tomorrow. Trying not to be sad, she will only be here for two days. She wants to be 'home" for Christmas and considers Virginia home now. Not sure if that is good or bad. Just is.

Comment by NevadaSierra on December 19, 2012 at 11:34am: Merry Christmas everyone. If anyone wants to come to North San Juan this Sunday afternoon at 3 we are having our Christmas Celebration. Complete with birthday cake for Jesus.

We won't get to take our grandson Owen (13 today) up to see our sailor, because our sailor maybe going back out to sea. This is good news if he can go - he will be able to make up the quals that were shredded. Please hold their family in your prayers as he prepares to go out.

Our granddaughter (Tyr) has been accepted to the Seattle Art Institute, and our littlest angel Miss Brianna will turn 5 on Friday. Her last surgery for her cleft pallet and lip was successful.

Our daughter is working with the probable diagnosis of MS - lots to pray for with our family.

My in-laws are amazing. Karl is 92, and now has dialysis four times a week due to his frail condition. Margie is 91, and continues to take care of him, however the stress is taking a huge toll.

Praying for all of you and your sailors - thank you for their service, ~s~ {{N4M}}

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on December 19, 2012 at 11:30am: Alison, my son did BC in summer and I wondered what it would be like to have one going through during the holidays. It's so emotional anyway that it would up the "biting your nails" factor. Like Pay says, sounds like you're doing great.

tlcmagic, what a great job to choose...very challenging and rewarding. All the best to your son this year!!

Comment by Paymaster on December 19, 2012 at 9:36am: Allison.....So proud of how you are doing! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Comment by Alison(LS A school) on December 18, 2012 at 8:57pm: I am starting my 3rd week of my boy being in bootcamp; I am hoping for a call or letter this week!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
