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 meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 3, 2011 at 3:43pm: Diannep, I was SO touched by your Lab stories. They are truly wonderful dogs and we do love them dearly don't we? Of course I love any kind of dogs (and cats are ok too) but our Lab is so smart and just like yours he knows when I'm hurting. He's getting old now and can't run like he used to but he's still as loving as can be. I am so sorry about your husband's passing in 2001. I know that must have been a very rough time for you and your sons. God bless you and your family and thank you so much for your support for this group.

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 3, 2011 at 3:36pm: Well, I got a letter today and I've had a good cry and I guess I need you guys to remind me he's gonna be okay. He's been sick for 27 days and is struggling to pass the running part of PT. Every time he starts to feel better something hits him hard again. He's had fever of 102 for 7 days straight. He's worried that he won't make graduation. He said all he wants to do is call home so we can tell him it's gonna be okay. I always write him optimistic letters but I just don't know what to say to him. Thanks for listening everyone. I don't care if he doesn't graduate on the 17th. I just want him to feel better.

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on June 3, 2011 at 2:52pm: Pianomom
One time I sent a sexy/racey text to my husban. Well at least I thought I did. I actually sent it to my son by mistake. When I tried to explain. He said, I don't want to know." he was 17 at the time.

Comment by diannep on June 3, 2011 at 2:40pm: Sorry to tell you....only HE will know!

Comment by pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on June 3, 2011 at 2:38pm: to diannep--i am not sure where his A School will be.. how to find out? (if it's from him, i am going to be waiting awhile probably)

Comment by diannep on June 3, 2011 at 2:17pm: pianomom: Join your sailor's A School group now if you haven't already. You can get lots of info there. Then when you know the next step in your sailor's journey, join that group. My son is connected to a ship, so I joined that one and also the city where it is based. There are also "interest" groups on this site....so just see what you might like to be a part of!

Lala: SO sorry about your sailor's grandfather-in-law.....glad you will get to see them though. Sorry about the sailor killed in the motorcycle accident also...read the news about that one. So sad.

As all can see from Connie's last post, she is a "hands on" sailor's mom! She got me excited reading her words....and mine already finished bootcamp! HA!

Hi, Connie!
