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 Who on September 16, 2010 at 5:59pm: Karen,
I had tons of trouble in boot camp with letters and phone calls. i missed out on so many calls for whatever reasons, and my mail wasnt making it back home either. my mother was getting quite worried. this may not be the case in your SRs situation, but depending what week hes on, they get -very- busy. and yes, no news is actually sometimes the best news. hang in there.
best wishes

Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on September 16, 2010 at 5:48pm: I don't know what is up with my recruit, I havn't gotten a letter or phone call from him in 2 weeks, Ughhh! His girlfriend got a phone call from him last Sat. when our div. made their calls, but neither of us has gotten a lett in 2 weeks, and I havn't spoken to him in 2 wks. I hope he's doing well, and I'm assuming no news is good news!!!! Has anyone been getting letters from div. 333? I still like to hear what's going on in their div. even if I'm not hearing it from my son! He's never been much of a phone talker and has never written letters. I had to pull teeth to get him to write out his thank you notes after High School graduation. So I'm not really surprised he's not writing much.

Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on September 16, 2010 at 5:41pm: NavyWife~ you can hide when you are online in FB, by clicking on the options tab in the chat box. Click options, then click on go offline or chat off line, something like that it is. He won't be able to tell when you are online or not online and therefore won't be able to do live chat with you.

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 16, 2010 at 5:02pm: I'm going to the gym after dropping boy #2 off at football practice, and I'm going to work like crazy! Maybe I can exhaust myself into not thinking about my SR - what do you think ladies? Concentrate on sore muscles and aching lungs instead :-) Ok, a grin, but that's it!

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 16, 2010 at 5:01pm: Awesome pics - Thank you proud!

No mail again today :-((( Don't even want to cheer up - I'm just mad, sad & pouting! I know it's not very grown up - but I so want hear from my boy.

Comment by HelenGJ on September 16, 2010 at 4:46pm: Which division in on the Missouri...I know ship 10 is the Enterprise. I will see if I can find a list matching names and numbers...let you know:)

Comment by NavyMomLG on September 16, 2010 at 4:31pm: Thanks proud - I hope someone recognizes their SR and can tell us which Division this is!

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 16, 2010 at 3:02pm: NavyWife - you did the right thing! Later - when you can talk to J about it if you want, he'll be very proud of you and secure knowing that your marriage comes first in your life. Those kind of life and marriage lessons carry a big punch! when times get tough. You should be proud that you stood your ground! Next time a situation arises, you will have this experience to fuel you. Good job being an honorable and honest person and spouse! We need more in this world who value thier marriage over the rest of society. Way to go!
