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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 21, 2012 at 9:30pm: Thanks Diannep, it has been very good so far. I'm still in NM, so I've had some more time to spend with my daughter and oldest son. My hubby has to come back here for work next week, so my awesome friends are letting me stay til then. My sailor is now back in Bremerton (until next week :( ) so I have some more time to get on here.

Comment by diannep on August 21, 2012 at 9:28pm: Welcome back, Betsy! How was your trip?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 21, 2012 at 9:17pm: Hi ladies! I was missing on here for a bit, but I'm back now. I agree with Lala, FTLW and all the ladies on here. You are strong Navy moms and you can do it!

Comment by tracyln on August 21, 2012 at 8:51pm: Momof2boys you made me laugh...... Now instead of workouts after basic is over you will be hitting a local AA meeting.... ; )

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 21, 2012 at 5:48pm: I remember having really bad days like that as well. My daughter left on May 25th, I was taking a water gym class twice a week and the week of Memorial Day and again on the 4th of July week the instructor played patriotic music during the class. I was basically balling my eyes out the whole time. Good thing was that we were in the pool with splashing water so no one really noticed lol. It was hard but if I can survive anyone can :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 21, 2012 at 3:25pm: You CAN make it ladies! Emotions start to climb again near the end of BC (just when you may have thought they had settled a bit) as PIR nears...the anticipation of Battlestations, travel plans and finally getting to see your new Sailor.
You have each other to stay grounded...we are here for you always as well.
Big HUGS!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 21, 2012 at 3:21pm: The iPad isn't as user friendly with this site...it is because of the browser I think. I don't have an iPad ...but my son does...so I might have to "borrow" it to see if another browser works better. I haven't researched it yet...i know.there ate a few out there but again from the little I read...they are specific for certain things.
Here is a Discussion I started in Forums:

http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/tips-for-connecting-up-with...

Please post your concerns, questions, successes, tips that you may have. I am hoping that it could help us all out as there are a lot of devices and none come with manuals anymore (too big) .

Comment by MOMOF2BOYS on August 21, 2012 at 3:01pm: @ Tracyln, I'm in the same boat. Good days and bad. Stopped nightly workout classes and picked up drinking wine instead just waiting for a call !!!!! LOL

Comment by tracyln on August 21, 2012 at 1:43pm: When I use this page on my ipad I am not able to see the countdown clock and have just not taken the time to think about how much long since it is just getting too difficult.. : ( I was very happy to see being on my computer right now that we have 16 days left!!!! I think I might be able to make it 16 more days... I was blindsided yesterday with missing him so much I was in tears most of the day. I had been doing so well and then bam out of the blue it just hit me... I am sure you all understand that feeling. I sure hope someone does because my family sure does not understand...

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on August 21, 2012 at 10:33am: I need about 5 alarm clocks, haha! I work construction so with this extreme hot spell we"ve been having, I am blessed with graveyard!!! Thank God!!!
