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 Navymom on May 8, 2011 at 2:57pm: My daughter is in that same Divison 209. STill no mail yet and it is May 8.

Can't wait to get a letter from her

Comment by Audrey on May 8, 2011 at 2:45pm: SunnyB- I'm alone today, too. My husband is on the road. I've got some stew in the crockpot and I'm watching the episodes of Chopped that I recorded on the DVR. I pray that we get a call today.

Comment by Cathy ship09/div205/pir06/17/11 on May 8, 2011 at 2:32pm: Thank you Lala, that was beautiful and truly touched my heart!

Comment by KC'smom on May 8, 2011 at 1:51pm: I was soooo hoping to get a letter by now. Or maybe a phone call on Mother's Day. I am blessed to be off work this weekend. Having a great time but miss my first born. I know he is thinking about me. Can't wait to see him. 39 days and 19 hours. God, I hope he's not a grad and go. I will be devestated.

Comment by Sunnyb on May 8, 2011 at 1:38pm: Thank you Lala, ~typing through the water in my eyes~ This is my first mothers day completly alone. I have no mom, my husband is working and my oldest is still at college but will be home at the end of the week. But I figured if my son has to buck up, so can I. So I put off the pitty poor mes... ordered Chinese food and took charge of the tv control.! Sending blessings to you all..!

Comment by Linda on May 8, 2011 at 12:06pm: Oh WOEW how cool love you for that ...there I go again ...I'm just a crybaby...but it feels good..lol

Comment by dorielee(Ship14Div313) on May 8, 2011 at 12:01pm: Lala,

Thank you so much for posting that :) I teared up and I know my Son is doing well, and would say that to me.

Comment by dorielee(Ship14Div313) on May 8, 2011 at 12:00pm: Happy Mothers Day to everyone, including the Daddy's who are both parents!

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on May 8, 2011 at 10:39am: Thank You Lala.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 8, 2011 at 10:21am: I know that today you are missing your soon to be Sailors very much. And I wanted to show you all how much I care so I wrote a poem to you from your Sailor. If your Sailor could call maybe this is what he or she would say. I hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful Mother's day.Love to you all, LaLa (Lora)

Hi Mom, please try not to worry 'cause
I'm doing really well,
Even though I miss you

And there’s stories I’d love to tell!

I’m laying here in my berth
On a ship that does not sail
Thinking of you on this special day
I hope you are doing swell!.

It’s been a little stressful here
The Commanders love to yell
But, it’s not as bad as you may have thought
It’s not a living hell!

Memories get me through the days
Oh, your cookies I can almost smell,
But the RDC’s would eat them up so,
Don’t send them in the mail!

It won’t be long until I see you
So please try not to dwell
I’ve really come a long way here
I’m emerging from my shell!

I’ll be dressed in white at PIR
To boot camp I’ll say farewell,
My time with you will be well spent
Don’t forget to bring my cell!

I miss you!

I love you!

Happy Mother’s Day!!!
Love, from your soon to be Sailor
