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."

For our Sailors - the Father's Blessing
Numbers 6:24-26 from the NIV

May the LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.

I especially like it from the Message translation

God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
and make you prosper.

May these words ring true for each and everyone of you!

Comment by kellig on September 17, 2010 at 11:02am: Oh my gosh, our truck is in the shop right now too. My husband can fix most anything by himself so I'm a little concerned about how this is going to turn out! Our SR went to school to fix vehicles so we are missing him just a little bit more right about now.

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 17, 2010 at 10:35am: Aw -sorry Lala! I know how you feel, we put a new (used) tranny in DH's truck last week, and now my brakes are out. Well, the Good Lord must really like to keep our lives interesting, that's all I have to say! When we need Him, we draw closer to Him, and that's a good thing, so we try to just be thankful for what we have, that a side-job was around the corner to pay for the tranny, and that he's handy and can do the brakes at home instead of $65 an hour for labor! Glass half full, just like your 'memorable' vacation! Sorry your luck is down this week! But sure glad to hear from you, and we keep in being grateful for you and all you do!

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 17, 2010 at 10:32am: HarmonyWorks - see the post 2 ago from Lala Ribbon Queen? She is the angel that does the ribbons!! Click on her name, friend request her, and she'll pm you all the info you need! Thanks!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 17, 2010 at 10:15am: Good Morning everyone, Happy Friday!!!! I went to the craft stores yesterday to get more stars and letters for the ribbons and my radiator went out on my '07 Chevy, had to be towed in for repair. :( Last month a new rear end on our Ram 1500, 9 days in the shop doesn't make for a great FL vacation but it def makes it memorable!!!!! I hope everyone has a great weekend and gets a special phone call :-}

Comment by mom2nw on September 17, 2010 at 9:57am: Karen: thanks for the heads up on that forum....just the laugh I needed. On the very first form letter my son used one line to tell me "this is all the space I have to write".LOL .

Comment by MaribethP on September 17, 2010 at 9:23am: WeCanDoThis - my son called last Saturday and he is in division 333. Hope you get a call this weekend!!

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 17, 2010 at 9:19am: Vicki - sorry to hear all that your son is going through! Military life is not easy, that's for sure. Hopefully he'll get over regretting his sign-up and move on with things. It's definitely like a brick wall hitting them smack in the face - total change of pace from what they're used to, and there is little to no lee-way when it comes to enforcing consequences. He'll adapt and come out better for it!
I think you would have heard if he was booted or coming home, so I wouldn't worry about that! Prayers for you today m'dear! And tell that mailman of yours we all love him!

Comment by Leny'smom on September 17, 2010 at 9:03am: Can anyone tell me if my son who is sixteen, going to PIR with us - no driver's lisence, but he does have a picture public school ID, will that do for a government ID - or does he need one from the DMV? I have sooo many questions about A-school, I've looked on line and read a lot, understand it starts with a lot of restrictions, then gets lighter, but what about our kids 'things' or clothes that they can wear or use on leave- when or how are they able to get them? Thanks again for all your help and understanding ladies - God bless you!

Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on September 17, 2010 at 8:56am: Ladies~You have to find this Forum, it's called- Top ten lines home from bootcamp! It hilarious some of the stuff recruits write home. It's sure to put a smile on your faces!

Comment by Honnalora on September 17, 2010 at 8:34am: Our countdown clock will be rolling to 20 days here very shortly! Three weeks from this very moment, we will all be sitting together waiting to catch a glimpse of our sailors.
