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 CindyLou (Louisville) on August 3, 2011 at 10:01pm: Dor, great news! We are smiling with you!

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 3, 2011 at 9:26pm: Oh the people that live in this world...

And Dor! That's GREAT!! Hurray for changed orders!!! :)

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on August 3, 2011 at 9:23pm: I love that sailor's response. Don't really expect that to change anyone's mind, but maybe it will make some people think.

Dor, have you come down from Cloud 9 yet? :)

Isabella, glad it was nothing serious, even though it certainly is not pleasant. My sailor, before he was born, seemed to enjoy bouncing around on my bladder--made me run to the ladies' room a lot--but he never caused any really bad pain. He was a real wiggle worm before and after he was born. Just try to take it in stride.

Comment by Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 3, 2011 at 8:54pm: Oh now wouldn't that be something!

Comment by heebsmom on August 3, 2011 at 8:18pm: How embarrassing, the fleet came in to Seattle today, and their were people out their with signs "renounce militarism" although it was only a few people, one sailor said "that is what I am here for, free speech"

WooHoo...Blue Angles!!!!

Comment by cinechic (07/301) on August 3, 2011 at 6:56pm: Congrats on the bebe!

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 3, 2011 at 6:52pm: Congrats, labella! Glad to hear everything is okay! :) Maybe he'll be a kicker for the Navy someday... Or a dancer. Cheerleader. Soccer player. The possibilities for a good kicker are endless! :)

Comment by Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 3, 2011 at 6:50pm: Labella! Congratulations! How exciting. Take care of yourself.

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on August 3, 2011 at 6:45pm: congratulations on the new little sailor

Comment by Heather(labellaleigh) - ETwife on August 3, 2011 at 6:37pm: Bobbysproudmom & Kat - All is good now! What took the ER to find out in 6 hours, my OB was able to pinpoint in 20 minutes. Go figure. Bean (nickname for the baby) was just resting on my bladder and kicking me non stop to the point of pain. The ultrasound tech said that was the most active she has seen a baby move in a long time and is probably the reason for my pain.

But at the end of this, I found out i'm having a BOY! =) Sailor is very happy and excited. And well rested with sleep.
