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 May 31, 2011 at 2:03pm: katiesmom: Ok....I think I'm going to make the long trip from S. Florida for your PIR just to meet YOU! You make me laugh...which is good for the soul! Loved the fly and the flyswatter comment....I'm definitely the fly!

Comment by diannep on May 31, 2011 at 2:02pm: mominva: There is normally no shuttle from Navy Lodge, but you may want to call and ask since this is a special weekend at a different location with earlier gate opening times.

Comment by diannep on May 31, 2011 at 1:59pm: That is a real treat for your SRs in 213 to be sponsored!

Comment by ConnieC on May 31, 2011 at 1:15pm: Pam I am crying with you, that is so awesome. When I talked to mine this weekend I thought she sounded so independent. Prayers for your Son that he will be forever in remission.

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on May 31, 2011 at 1:13pm: BluAnjel: I speak Fluent Typo too!

Katie'smom: If your daughter has half your attitude, she will do very very well.

TL3MOM: Sorry to hear about car vs. deer. Hope you're okay. Rent a car!

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on May 31, 2011 at 1:10pm: Oh BluAngel, "Arlington" would be a hard one to hear. My radio station played two that make me think of my hubby, "Just a Kiss" and "I Will Stand by You" and finished with "If You're Reading This." They knew how to get me bawling on the way to the BBQ.

Pam, you have done a wonderful job raising your daughter. Hope you can stay strong for your family.

Comment by CaronMS ND Mom on May 31, 2011 at 1:07pm: Okay Pam, now I am crying too. It doesn't happen much since my son is 25 and has really been out of houses since he left for college, but your letter did me in.

Comment by BluAnjel NoLongerNavyMom on May 31, 2011 at 12:57pm: I'm gonna follow that up with another WOW, Pam! It's amazing how much these kids' lives are changing. Mine (dtr also) was a lot like yours when she was home... she still misses home (cuz she had it sooo good), but wants to make us proud - and she is! Yesterday was hard with all the parades and stuff, heard "Arlington" on my mp3 in the car and about lost it... I'll be praying for your family and your son! God bless all you moms (and gf's and wives, and others) on here for showing such support!

Connie - don't worry 'bout your postings, I speak fluent typo, so I can interpret for you if needed, haha!!

Back to work before my boss catches me on the internet - gah!! :)
