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 lisarobin on June 27, 2011 at 7:54pm: momk you asked if they had listed the times on the sheet and they do not. However, when I just looked back at the form it does say:Please Note, Ladies Black Tees are 2 times smaller than regular Tees! It might be good if I read the fine print!

Comment by lisarobin on June 27, 2011 at 7:52pm: Well I am sorry ya'll are having the same feelings but it does help to share! I actually cried when I my husband read a story written about a friend of Abraham Lincoln's going to visit him. It was so sweet and so sad I just cried! My husband just looked at me in astonishment but all I could think about the my son feeling alone.(Like he has anything to do with the President of the United States being at the top and alone)! :.) But that day I related them together!

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on June 27, 2011 at 7:42pm: Girls, I'm with you. I haven't slept in a week and half.

Comment by amyj96 on June 27, 2011 at 7:37pm: well ladies, i'm glad to know that i'm not the only one that has bad days! I always get really sad late in the evening when its time for Dylan to come in and sit and talk a little while :( I just have to cry occasionally! And i've realized that it is ok to do that sometimes :)

Comment by AliceH51 on June 27, 2011 at 7:21pm: Hi lisarobin, I had that knid of day today! Just bad, sad and scared feeling, very dark...went to church and prayed! Didn't sleep at all last night and like you just creeped around here with little interest in posting. Going to church helped! It wasn't even our church! Just waiting for that call is harded than waiting for the letter for some reason.

Comment by momKdiv938-daughterK on June 27, 2011 at 7:10pm: lisarobin, what hours is their calling times?

Comment by lisarobin on June 27, 2011 at 7:03pm: I do have something to tell all of you. If you are going to order a divison shirt, you might want to go ahead and do so. I ordered mine and Amberrose today and she asked if for sure it was 8/5 and I said yes. She then wanted to know when I was leaving to go up to GL and I said early 8/4 but would like to have them by first of week. She said she would make sure it got on the order. She was very nice and explained the sizing which you also need to know. If you order a Ladies Fitted TEE you are ordering a BABY DOLL TEE! The small is size 0 Medium is 2-4 Large is 4-6 and Extra Large is 8-10. Also, he Med is 28" around the chest. Please keep that is mind when ordering. Obviously I changed our order because while I'm not that big I'm definitely not a size 0! Like I said though, they are very nice and explained everything but I just wanted to give you a heads up!

Comment by lisarobin on June 27, 2011 at 6:58pm: That is sad for your friend but I am happy to hear it is not your son. I have had mine on my mind and heart all weekend. I have been creeping around and not posting much because I was depressed. Woke up at 1:00am and couldn't get him off my mind so I prayed. He may or may not have been needing that but I did. I feel better today. I am sure all of you have had that feeling from time to time.

Comment by bobbie (ht mom) on June 27, 2011 at 5:05pm: oh lisarobin it wasnt my son it was the son of a friend of mine said he was under hyrdrated and and blacked out and they are sending him home thx for concern tho :)
