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 mother always on May 27, 2010 at 6:34am: Congratulations!!
God bless him wherever he goes and do!!!

Comment by mother always on May 18, 2010 at 7:17am: And you are right when you said "they were trying to protect themselves of saying goodbye and the sadness they felt inside but don't talk or try to let us know how they really feel.
When I left my son at the airport,this last time,he asked me "mami,how do you fell?";I just made a nice and real "show" for him,that I was so happy for him...that he was doing what he always wanted and I was happy for that...
He don't know how sad and lonely I had felt;I even went to the doctor,and I still MISS HIM so much,he is my youngest and last son!!
Have a good day! that's life! God bless us and help us!

Comment by mother always on May 17, 2010 at 12:05pm: Even though my son tried to be close to me,there were always friends calling on the phone,inviting him to the movies,the mall...I think that since the moment he step out to boot camp,he started a new life,become another person,independent (more).After all that's good for him,because when I'm gone...he'll be good...Terri don't worry,I know how you feel and what you mean,but I'm trying to learn with all of this experiences....that's life...they were lent to us,to help them grow and teach them the values they have today.After all I'm happy because my son is where he always wanted to be...
Love and nice day to all!!

Comment by mother always on May 9, 2010 at 6:24am: Blessings and a Happy Mothers Day to ALL!!!!

Comment by Cindy D on April 26, 2010 at 7:46pm: Terri and Katieliz - I understand what you are saying. My son who is also my oldest was home for a week and a half after A school and he was pretty much the same way. He was on the computer and with his friends. Sometimes even staying the night at his friends because they were out so late. I was so upset and felt like it was disrespectful to the rest of the family. All of the worrying and writing that we have done for him and he can't spend more time with us? I know he would rather spend time with his friends then with mom and dad but still, it hurt.

Comment by mother always on April 19, 2010 at 9:52am: Congratulations,Blessings and many nice wishes for ALL SAILORS and FAMILIES who are on vacations!!!!!!
