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 randysue on August 1, 2011 at 12:34am: Hey Terrys a proudmom.... are you in so calif also? I hope I got to meet you in great lakes! Take care!

Comment by randysue on August 1, 2011 at 12:32am: What a fabulous week! Randy and I ended our Navy celebration by going to San Pedro to see the USS Abraham Lincoln! Amazing! We toured the regular stuff, rode on the plane elevator, chatted and took pictures for hours.... then as we were leaving, an incredible thing happened! We were given a tour of the parts of the ship that were not open to the public! WOW!!! WHAT???!!! YEAH!!!!! Okay no engine room or top secret stuff, but we saw the berths, the galley, the workroom for the jets, halls and stairs and too much to absorb!!!! Totally amazing!!!! God Bless all of our sons and daughters who serve, this has been one heck of a week!!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 31, 2011 at 8:17pm: I had friday after PIR with my Sailor. and we went to the mall for a little bit, then went back to the hotel and just layed around. Then met him at the airport Saturday, and sat with him until he departed to Charleston. Very sad day, and I was spotted bawling my eyes out walking through O'hare. he's in Charleston safe and sound, and I should get to see him either the first week of september, or october!:)

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 31, 2011 at 3:57pm: HM: So good to hear that your SR's run times are improving...and she sounds determined to get it done this week...God's speed to her!

BoosMom: Good for you getting those pictures. My son had said that one of their RDC's had really yelled at some people at the first PIR he worked trying to take pictures of them because you aren't really supposed to take pictures of active divisiions...guess you scared those RDC's off. For sure you've earned a chit!

Comment by BoosMom on July 31, 2011 at 1:28pm: You know the pleasure was all mine, got a lot of responses from 938 and 939 that they would pay this forward, so I hope it does continue as a courtesy for the moms waiting for their SR's in the future!

Comment by diannep on July 31, 2011 at 1:16pm: Praying for HM's daughter and the poor girl who has been in there for so long with the broken leg! May they encourage one another and push one another....both making their times tomorrow!

Comment by diannep on July 31, 2011 at 1:15pm: Sigh.....BoosMom is so nice.....she "raises the bar" much too high for the rest of us!

:-)

Seriously, that was very nice of you. Good Girl! A special CHIT for you!

Comment by BoosMom on July 31, 2011 at 12:36pm: I took pictures of a few SRs from 938 and 939, posted them on facebook, those ladies are so happy!! Makes me feel good for them! It was just a God moment, my daughter said Thank God I am not lined up over there to go back to the barracks and I asked what she meant, she said those are people from 938 and 939 getting ready to go back. So no RDC's around I just went right over there (because my daughter had to go back to her ship to change shoes) so I just started snapping random pictures for you guys, I loved every minute of it, they were so proud I was over there doing it, thanked me tremendously and I let them know the pleasure was all mine!!

Comment by KC'smom on July 31, 2011 at 11:59am: 20 seconds down..... just a few more to go! She is in FIT w/ a young lady who has been at boot camp 8 months. I hope she becomes friends w/ her & they can encourage eachother!
