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 diannep on June 1, 2011 at 2:27pm: Blu: I know that Lala always tells the ladies to have their injured/sick SR sign something there that allows YOU as the parent to be involved in her diagnosis and the choice of medical treatment, so hopefully you can tell her to do this when you speak to her.

Otherwise, they can tell you nothing. Only your daughter can.

Comment by diannep on June 1, 2011 at 2:24pm: Blu: Wow....I know your heart is broken....and of course, your daughter's. I like what mominva said....sometimes what we think is a disappiontment can turn into a gift. Another lady on another PIR page said: Sometimes it takes "tomorrow" to understand "today." We don't understand....at all....but we have hope and trust in the future.

Would it be ok if some of us write to you daughter? When you get her new address? I would love to. I just wrote this morning to two SRs in another PIR group...also asmoed with injuries. Please post if you think this would be a help to your daughter and then we can PM you for her address info. It can get depressing in RCU so lots of letters are a must...from anyone and everyone she was/is close to. Teachers, coaches, church friends, family friends, etc....to keep her encouraged and motivated during this "temporary" setback.

Just let us know if we can write to her. Prayers....hang in there...I hope you stay on this group as long as you like because we would miss you if you left!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 1, 2011 at 2:13pm: Blu, your daughter is my prayers too. ((hugs))

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on June 1, 2011 at 1:48pm: Oh Blu, I'll be thinking about you and your daughter. That has always been my worst fear. Hope she has a speedy recovery.

Comment by ConnieC on June 1, 2011 at 1:35pm: I know, especially with her being far from home. Hugs, hugs and more hugs.

Comment by BluAnjel NoLongerNavyMom on June 1, 2011 at 1:29pm: lol, thanks connie :-) ya made me smile, something that's been hard for me to do today

Comment by ConnieC on June 1, 2011 at 12:33pm: Blu lurking is not allowed, you must post once a day! We are here to keep you prop'd up!

Comment by BluAnjel NoLongerNavyMom on June 1, 2011 at 12:24pm: Craig, you've been so informative, I always value and appreciate your advice!!

I am scared, but all you guys here are so sweet - I knew I could find a bunch of shoulders to cry on that understand. None of my friends, family, and only one co-worker really get it, so it's been a really rough day. God bless you all and thanks again. I'll be lurking and keep you posted!

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on June 1, 2011 at 12:03pm: Blu - you and your daughter are in my prayers. This (still) could happen to any of our SR's. It's out of our hands. We're here to support and stand by you and your daughter.

Craig - thank you for the quick and important information you provided.

Comment by Craig on June 1, 2011 at 11:30am: My below post wasn't met to scare you. It was meant to inform you. To me, I'd rather know the rules going into the game, without sugarcoating anything. Being informed allows you to fight the battle if the time should ever come...

Cool?
