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 MamaCindy (MMW TM) on December 16, 2011 at 11:22pm: LIKE!!! Can't believe it's been that long since you've seen him! What a journey you two have been on! We've been truly blessed to be so close to ours. Hope your family has a GLORIOUS Christmas!

Comment by KC'smom on December 16, 2011 at 11:28am: My son.... is on my couch.... right now!!!!! First time since April 20th, 2011. This is awesome!! He's sleeping b/c he took an overnight flight.

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on November 2, 2011 at 1:24pm: Too funny!! I have a countdown app also. 50 days.
Tony is definitely determined.

Comment by KC'smom on November 2, 2011 at 11:19am: By the way, I found an 'app' on my phone called the countdown widget. So, now on my cell phone home screen I have the KC countdown to when he comes home for Christmas!!! Just like the countdown we had for PIR!! hahaha. 44 days left!!

Comment by KC'smom on November 2, 2011 at 11:17am: Audrey, that is sad and hilarious at the same time. Reminds me of the commercial with the squirrels giving eachother high 5's!!!! Poor Tony. What determination! hee hee.

Comment by Audrey on November 1, 2011 at 7:02pm: I just talked (for over an hour) with Tony. During his last PFA, he passed out after finishing his pushups and split his chin. He got up puring blood and, despite the pleas of his fellow sailors to go to the medic, and set off for his run to finish the PFA. He was a little dizzy, pouring blood down the front of his shirt, but making good time on the run UNTIL, a squirrel ran out of the woods and began to run around him and zigzag between his feet for over a minute! About the time Tony swung his leg back to drop-kick the little beast, it ran off into the woods. Tony started running again and actually finished the course. He missed the time by a few seconds but his fellow sailors admired his determination. That's my sailor!

Comment by KC'smom on October 20, 2011 at 8:33pm: 6 months ago today, my boy was sworn in to the US Navy. I have only seen him 9 hours since that day. I really miss him. But, man am I proud!!!!

My daughter Arianna is still in Great Lakes also. She starts A school the end of September. She has told me it is getting colder there and had me send her winter coat up already! She is so busy. Can only get in touch with her on the weekends now. She is starting night classes at the end of September and not looking forward to it. I wonder if they know each other. She is an ET. So glad to hear all of our sailors are doing well. God Bless

Comment by Navymom on September 16, 2011 at 5:30am: Hello FCmom

My daughter Arianna is also still at Great Lakes. She will be starting
A school sometime the end of September too. I wonder if they know each other. She said it has already started getting cold there and had me send her winter coat to her! I miss her terribly, can't wait until December when they get time to come home. I hate to rush Christmas but in this case it can't get here soon enough. Is your daughter busy? Mine is so hard to get in touch with. So happy to hear everyone's sailors are doing well. God Bless.
