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 Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on June 28, 2011 at 3:42pm: John's biggest problem was saying the word YELLOW - he pronounced it lellow. I would have him say after me, yes, yet, yellow. He said, yes, yet, lellow!! About drove me nuts but we practiced it for quite some time .... months, that is, until one day out of nowhere, he finally got it.

Another issue that he had would be that if he was upset at one of the older brothers he would take a book out of the bookcase and hit them over the head. When asked why he did it, he simply said, "well, I didn't him him with ALL the books." I should have known he was going to be a Nuke way back then !!! Or if he bit them he would say, "well, he still has more blood in him", or "I didn't write on ALL of the walls."

Comment by Pamela on June 28, 2011 at 3:07pm: My sailor boy was around 2 1/2 and loved to take the cushions off the couch and then run into them and jump on them. He came up with a name for it. My husband and I will never forget it. He would say "I want to do Dock-in-daker." It was the cutest thing ever. His name for lemonade was ame, a motorcycle was ogie. Memories I will always cherish.

Comment by Connie foaling-lady (Groton) on June 28, 2011 at 2:13pm: Elizabeth, the cutest thing my son said when he was a toddler involved a famous gray racehorse named Holy Bull. We took Dan to Monmouth Park to see him run. Dan sat on my husband's shoulders and screamed himself hoarse in the saddling enclosure, in the tunnel leading to the track, and watching the post parade. "Dat's Holy Bull!" over and over. The Bull of course won, and Dan solemnly told us, "Dat Holy Bull is SOME horse." For a few years after that, every time we went to the track and he saw a gray horse, Dan would yell, "Dere's Holy Bull!"

Comment by elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on June 28, 2011 at 2:08pm: I didn't really spell san francisco wrong, it's just your imagination.

Comment by swim4life on June 28, 2011 at 1:51pm: our (nuke) son was born in Atlanta. He was an adorable toddler, bright eyes and almost white blonde hair. The girls would swarm me at church and ask if they could hold him...lol! When he was learning to talk, he said "mirrah" for mirror...we moved out of the South, and he lost that...maybe he'll get it back in Charleston.??

Comment by elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on June 28, 2011 at 1:27pm: So it is raining in my neck of the woods...cats and dogs....and we never ever get rain like this just north of san fransisco this time of year. What's going on with all these weird weather patterns?

Binker's mom...love your description. I remember the time we all told Emily how and when we knew our partners were the right ones to marry. I think that's in a discussion somewhere.

I'd like to start a new one: What is some or maybe just one of the words your kids would get wrong as a toddler that you just wish no one had corrected?

Comment by NavyMomLG on June 28, 2011 at 1:21pm: Well said Binkers Mom!

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on June 28, 2011 at 12:53pm: I'm tickled you included my name, but somewhat dismayed you did not include my state. LOL But how could you? I don't think I ever told any of you that I call the great state of Nebraska my home.

We in eastern NE are currently experiencing quite terrible flooding. Pls keep us in your prayers.
