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 nvmomma on August 18, 2012 at 11:33pm: Hi everyone!

BigMama, my Sailor says he might know his ship assignment within the next couple of weeks! Can't wait!

CalSailorMom, so glad to hear they made it safely cross country, and all is well. :)

Comment by Katie - Dan's Mom on August 18, 2012 at 11:02am: Dor, that is good news! It will be so nice when Jason get's home and you are so close.

Zach's mom - I feel your pain, having been through it myself. The good news is that it probably will never happen again. I hope your recovery is swift.

On my side of the world....still no call from 12/306...we had heard they'd be able to call yesterday, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Hopefully soon. I wish I hadn't stressed myself into a migraine waiting....

Comment by tina41 on August 18, 2012 at 8:05am: good morning all!!

really cute dogs!!!! my son and his wife are trying to decide what kind of pet to get. they both love animals.

mn linda---your grandson is adorable!!! from having three boys, i know they have a determination to do things!!

PIR is AMAZING!! i too still get excited when i think of seeing my son coming thru those doors!!

j's mom---i am happy you will get to spend "9" days with your son!! enjoy everyone one of them!!!!!

Comment by susank on August 17, 2012 at 11:31pm: I got a chuckle from those dogs:) Your grandson is adorable! I want one!!!!!!

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on August 17, 2012 at 8:19pm: this is our youngest grandson, Jack. He is 9 months and when I was watching him on Monday, he crawled over to the tool bench and pulled himself up to play.

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on August 17, 2012 at 8:07pm: Connie, yes, that's my Minnie - she's a parti yorkie. it's a recessive gene coloring of the yorkie - not recognized by the AKC, but she is purebred. She's on our bedspread. She was a puppy mill mama that I adopted from the humane society last October. here's a better picture of her now along with my crazy Chewbacca (who's sleeping on his back) - he's a big yorkie - 16 lbs. Minnie is 7 lbs.

Comment by Johanna on August 17, 2012 at 7:37pm: No way 10 minutes before. We were also there with our Sailor at 7:00am.
And yes, I was the Mom camped right up front for pictures!!!

Comment by Connie foaling-lady (Groton) on August 17, 2012 at 6:13pm: mn linda, I've just gotta ask... is that a DOG in your N4Ms photo? Craziest-looking canine I've ever seen!!! (but in a cute way...)

Comment by Betsyleebig on August 17, 2012 at 5:49pm: Son just found out he has to be out of the dorm Sept 21st as will be joining class 1204 for Prototype. His friends are going to NY. Anyone know he should go about finding housing and a roommate? Thanks.

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on August 17, 2012 at 5:10pm: I second....10 minutes is WAY underestimating. People arrive early so I don't know how soon folks got there for the front row. I think we showed between 7:30 and 8:00 and were midway up. Better two people than none. Prices are crazy! Love the "missed holiday" thing, tho. I think Dor did that too, or am I wrong?
