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 B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on April 20, 2015 at 12:31pm: I can only upload pics from a computer here - phone doesn't work. Once you have the picture saved on your computer then you click on the button right up on the left of this comment box - next to link (looks like a picture frame, the one next to it is for media). When you put your mouse over it it says "image". You click on it & it then it says "add image from your computer". Your browse through the files where you have the picture saved. Click on the picture you want & then "open" it. This is where I change the width....I don't usually go any bigger than about 250 pixels (usually I'll stay around 220). You can also move the location of the picture - right, middle, top, etc. Once you have that done you say "ok" & your picture posts on here. If you don't like the way it looks you can just delete it & try making it bigger or smaller if necessary or move it to a different place in the box. Just mess around with it a little & you'll get the hang of it!

Comment by 1proudmama/EM/USSLincoln/CVN72 on April 20, 2015 at 11:45am: I'd share pictures if I knew how to get them on here. I know how to share on facebook and via text cause I click a button. I'm techno challenged. Had a great trip, got to swim with turtles and saw many interesting fish. Our view was fantastic from villa. Give me a quick, SIMPLE tutorial and I will share some of my favorites. Remember I'm techno challenged!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on April 20, 2015 at 11:07am: Hi all - Happy Monday!

My jury service is over for this year. In our county you serve 1 day/1 trial. I went in for my service but didn't get picked for the trial they were doing. It would have been a quick one too - judge said it was only supposed to last 2 days at the most! I'll have my chance again next year as I get called every year.

Had a nice chat with Sailor yesterday. He's keeping busy on the Truman.....

1proudmama - hope your vacation was fun - any pictures to share? I'm jealous that you will have your sailor so close to home now - but so happy for you too! That will sure make it convenient for ship homecomings!

CoTwin - hope you are enjoying having your sailor home! You'll definitely have to plan a visit to Hawaii ;-)

Welcome rhinosmom! Make sure you look at all the pages (9) to the right under the member profiles. You'll find lots of good info there. And don't be afraid to ask questions!

Dittersmom - fingers crossed you get a proto grad!

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on April 20, 2015 at 9:54am: COTwin, I can feel your happiness. Enjoy this precious time!

B'sNuke, jury duty is an awesome responsibility. I commend you on your doing your duty. It floors me when people will go to any lengths to get out of it. If God forbid I ever find myself in trouble, I hope the 12 jurors are like you.

1proudmama, how great that things are working out so well with your sailor being close to home! Most of us do not have that experience. Good for you!

Comment by 1proudmama/EM/USSLincoln/CVN72 on April 20, 2015 at 8:34am: I'm back and refreshed from my vacation.

Can't wait to have my sailor home this weekend, get to have him the month of May. Will only have to travel 1.5 hours to his new port.

I'll chime in and say if I'd have to pick one graduation it would be powerschool. It's the biggest and the best imho. My son said to not bother coming up for prototype.

Congratulations Co-twinsalorsmom on having your sailor for a few weeks. Enjoy

BNukesmom hope you get an interesting case to stand jury duty. I think I have only been summoned once and got out of it cause just had baby. I probably just jinked myself. lol

I'll guess May 7th if still open.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on April 19, 2015 at 11:59pm: Well, My son just left GC yesterday and is here with me!!! get to have him home 2-3 weeks before he moves on to Pearl Harbor. It is so good to have hime here and be able to share with him my new home. He has lots of friends from high school that are here going to college. So he has lots of friends to visit with here as well.

Comment by rhinosmom on April 19, 2015 at 9:19pm: I'm new to the nuke school. My Sailor just arrived yesterday morning. I'm very glad I will have people to talk to and help when it gets stressful. For the twins bd I guess my bd May 30th.

Comment by foreverproudmom on April 18, 2015 at 1:29pm: I will guess May 29. My daughter takes her medical school board exams that day

Comment by Carol Aileen on April 18, 2015 at 1:14am: KAM mom My son went through the Sta21 enlisted to Officer program I'd be glad to answer any questions that I can - do check out the sta-21 group page - it has good info . Not very active but I think that people still check in so you could ask questions there also.
