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 bobbie (ht mom) on July 17, 2011 at 7:38pm: so happy that he was able to call back amberose i know lisarobin was happy also just waiting on my sons call any day now i hope lol

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on July 17, 2011 at 7:37pm: amber - that is GREAT news!!!! Glad to hear it!

Comment by amberrose on July 17, 2011 at 7:26pm: Thank you everyone for your prayers! My SR called back today! After saying our hellos, I added lisarobin to the call. I think we are the two happiest women on the planet.

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on July 17, 2011 at 6:50pm: Fireteamleaderswife - makes me tear up to think about it too... :o) But even if he doesn't get to see this picture at least we have less than 3 weeks to go before we get to see him in person!! I have to pick what Ryver will wear to PIR either his Sailor shirt in the picture or this... :o) I'm thinking the t-shirt posted here for the trip to GL and the Sailor shirt for the ceremony. It cannot get here soon enough!!!

Comment by diannep on July 17, 2011 at 6:43pm: Yes, I agree with FTLW, Tonya. Normally, you don't really want to be connected to your SR on here...just because you don't want anything you post here to make your SR's life more difficult at bc! But in this case....a good thing!

Comment by diannep on July 17, 2011 at 6:42pm: fireteamleaderswife: :-)

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on July 17, 2011 at 6:31pm: Oh, that would be wonderful!!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 17, 2011 at 4:37pm: Now dianne...that would be one of the GREAT times of being "found out"by the RDC's!! I actually hope they do...makes me tear up thinking that Ryvers daddy could walk into class one day and see his son splashed onto the wall saluting him!!
Great shirt tonya and adorable little boy!
...sigh...is right too dianne. Youngest just went off to camp today and oldest in "A" school. Middle boy stuck with dad and mom.
Guess what they are playing in the coffee shop?

Battleship.

Close game...dad won!

Comment by diannep on July 17, 2011 at 2:10pm: Tonya: If the RDCs have put you together with your SR (sometimes they are able to do this), one of them may just pull him over to the computer and ask: Is this your son? What a wonderful surprise for him if they do!
