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 Mona on May 11, 2018 at 1:09pm: How do the Nuke Graduations work? Do they have a separate graduation each step of the way? Will my son have a graduation after Nuc.Field School? Nuc. Power school, and Power training exc... Just trying to plan our visits exc. Thank you!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 11, 2018 at 1:09pm: Hugs to you kai cat - it sure doesn't get any easier lol! On a happier note, glad to hear that you'll be visiting in July in addition to A school graduation. Gives you something to look forward too ;-D

Comment by kai cat on May 11, 2018 at 12:26pm: For some reason I was ok with my son being gone for Christmas and his birthday. But I feel super sad about him being gone for Mother's day. Mother's day has never even been about me around here! It has been about my mother and grandmother. It is just so strange.

I want to thank everyone for their advice about going to A school graduation in September - I have decided we will visit him in July and also go to his graduation! I found cheap airfare from Detroit to Myrtle beach - so about an hour from home and then 2 hours to him driving from what I can tell.

Have a great mothers day everyone and a lovely weekend :)

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on May 10, 2018 at 10:00pm: NancyJo, He did not go off grid at the last minute. He fell in love with the last town he went to. He was going to look at land off grid, but bought a little house right in town. I was so relieved. I think he realized he was not all that wanting to go off grid after all. I am glad he had made lots of friends.

Comment by Buzzbeck on May 10, 2018 at 9:41pm: NancyJo: I admire your strength at this time of your children losing their father. Between your daughter's reaction, and your son family moving across country, you are the pillar of your family.

CoTwin: I like hearing about your AK nuke's adventures. I remember the photos you posted of the village where he lives. The climbing photos are amazing. Sometimes one must step away from our hectic culture to reconnect with themselves and the beautiful world around us. I like that in a person. I hope you hear from your other twin soon.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 10, 2018 at 7:25pm: I was just getting ready to leave the office and I saw your post Rebecca J - so glad you got a good report from your doctor! That's wonderful news ;-D

I'm glad to hear things are better for your sailor too. Memorial Day can't get here soon enough, right?!?

Comment by Rebecca J on May 10, 2018 at 7:21pm: I wanted to wish everyone an early Happy mother's day since this will be a busy weekend for everyone. Im.praying for those who have their comps. Such a stressful time. My son always told me not to expect him to pass, but he always did. I guess that was just his fear.

I also wanted to say that I got a very good report at my oncology appt. I'm still on what they call."watch and wait", and he thinks it will be that way for awhile. Im very thankful and even though I'm tired a lot, this diagnosis has made me see every day as a blessing.

I also wanted to say that my sailor is doing better, and is in the process of re-inlisting. He is finished washing dishes and is studying hard to qualify. It is definitely a process. I will get to see him memorial day weekend! He was able to move out of the barracks and into.an apt. We are taking him up.some of his belongings. I can't wait to see him.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I love reading all of your posts and so appreciate all of the support on this sight!
