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."

I bet it is, and I sure hope it is much warmer than late November. Enjoy your time with her.

Carole, a friend of mine from high school is a Nuke on the Enterprise. What's your son's rate?

Comment by Dodie on April 21, 2010 at 11:46am: There is actually another group that was formed for Oct 2010 so I also joined that group. Only saw one other mom in that group:)

Comment by mtnmom on April 20, 2010 at 6:28pm: Dodieg-
Welcome to this group, my son left on October 7 last year. Tell him that this N4M says "Thank you" for his coming service and thank you for your son.

Comment by Dodie on April 20, 2010 at 6:01pm: Hi. My son Matt leaves for BC 10/5. He is contracted for the NUKE program.

Comment by mtnmom on April 20, 2010 at 12:04pm: Hi There Carole--
Bobby is in Virginia now, he arrived there on the 8th, but he's not on the Enterprise. He will be deploying in May for 6 - 8 months.

Comment by LMF221 on April 7, 2010 at 2:04am: The weather has been summer like here in central va for the last week (93 today!). It should continue tomorrow, but there is a coldfront that should make Thursday stormy and it'll cool off to high 60s and in the 70s after that, which he may or may not appreciate haha. Virginia can get humid. Hopefully he will enjoy Va but tell him to get out of norfolk to sightsee ASAP. Norfolk is hardly the prettiest or best feature of my state. If he's going to be in the area a while ill make some suggestions if you want to pm me.

My son is traveling to Norfolk, Va tomorrow. He's a California boy, will the weather be nice for him?

Comment by LMF221 on April 5, 2010 at 11:46pm: Everything is going swimmingly, thank you. Went to my DEP meeting last week and spent the weekend with my boyfriend. The weather here in Virginia is GORGEOUS and it puts me in a fabulous mood.
