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 Tamme on December 23, 2010 at 1:59pm: Thanks. Just too excited I guess to hear her correctly.

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on December 23, 2010 at 11:27am: I think the address is 3355 instead of 3353 Illinois......

Comment by Tamme on December 23, 2010 at 11:05am: The pick up gate for Christmas Day is the PIR gate - 3353 Illinois. Prayers for all of us flying into Chicago. It will be snowing. Merry Christmas to all of you!

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on December 21, 2010 at 10:20pm: 23 days & counting....... HOOYAH!

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on December 18, 2010 at 11:15am: Whoohoo - I got mail yesterday!!

He really sounds pumped up! Letter was dated 12/12- he said they ran Marlinspike on 12/10 their DIV did good with only 3 violations. Their brother DIV ( I am not sure of # but assume it would be 39) had 28 violations. He feels that they (040) are really gelling as a whole now. Explained the next week beginning 12/13 would be 'HELL" week. Physical & written testing everyday. This has all concluded by now and I know they did fine:-) He further said that the next week beginning 12/20 they will do the Gas Chambers. Praying for success for them all.

No other news or comments about his knee I am taking that as a GOOD sign! Thank you God for healing R and removing or subduing his pain during this difficult time. Fill him with a wealth of knowledge & peace & prosperity. AMEN

Happy Momma ~ HOOYAH DIV 040!

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on December 13, 2010 at 11:50pm: That was great ~ thanks for sharing 5-O's mom! My son has been pretty good about writing as well. Not as comical as yours but good nonetheless :-)
