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."

Hi everyone, I hope you all are finally getting more letters and some phone calls now :-)

I have had several messages in the last few days that several people are still having trouble with email on this site. I thought they had fixed it but I guess not. So, if you tried to send me a message to order ribbons to wear to PIR to show your support for your Sailor please send it to my email address: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com Thanks so much everyone :-)

to RWG--yes, it was the "random photos may 9, 2011" group.  i think they do everything together, so i assume that is the ship 11 div 203 group.   pretty exciting!

Which picture set did you find him in? Was it the May 9th set?

If so I wonder if that whole class is the same division?

audrey--happy birthday!   go outside and take a long walk today and make yourself sweat!   that way, you can identify in some small way what our kids are going through right now.   plus, you WILL feel better afterwards!

 

much love today,

How awesome to see your child on the RTC page. I keep looking and hoping.
Happy Birthday Audrey

Happy Birthday, Audrey!  It's so cool that you saw your son on the RTC page.  I can imagine it made your heart skip a beat.  I looked at this site for the first time last night.  I'll be checking it out every day.

Audrey_Hang tough. My birthday was Friday. I so hoped and prayed for something. Letter or phone call. Nothing. I knew that he would if he could.

 

Comment by Audrey on May 11, 2011 at 12:21am
Patty-There is a very good picture of my SR that was posted today. He looks healthy and safe.  Wednesday is my birthday and, even if I don't get a call or letter, it was such a blessing just to see him!  Go Navy!
