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 Rae Rae AO MOM on August 25, 2010 at 5:12pm: I cant wait to get a letter atleast one knowing he got mine!!

Comment by PKMom on August 25, 2010 at 4:29pm: Hi, all,
Just got my first letter returned to me, insufficient postage DANG!!! I put extra stamps on but not enough (there were extra envelopes/paper inside). Ma Navy wouldn't pay the 17 cents, LOL (not that I expected her to). Just hope my recruit got at least one of my other letters this past Sunday! (if not the first one).

mommyto4boyz, and other new Oct 8 PIRs, welcome!

Comment by Wanderlust on August 25, 2010 at 4:28pm: NavyMomLG - He left on 8/12. Gram said the letter was dated 8/22 and he said in the form letter I got last Thursday that he has been writing but they weren't allow to mail them yet.

I just booked the Residence Inn last night - everyone seems to like it.

Comment by proudtobehismom-Ship 10/Div 333 on August 25, 2010 at 4:22pm: cameowlot- I too plan to burn that blue candle and keep a vigil that night. I think it a wonderful way to show our support and dedication to them. Haven't decided yet what I will do during that time frame ( beside have serious conversation with the man upstairs) I was thinking I should maybe do some intense fall cleaning. After all, my son will be working very hard during that time, its only fair that I do it too to honor him.

Comment by NavyMomLG on August 25, 2010 at 4:21pm: Wanderlust, when did your SR leave? I'm so excited that someone has received a letter already. I'm not expecting anything for a week or so.

proud - I will let you know if I am able to get a room!

Comment by proudtobehismom-Ship 10/Div 333 on August 25, 2010 at 4:19pm: Wanderlust-thanks for the update about the letter. I'm in Florida, so gives me hope for tomorrow! I'm sorry to hear that he is sick :(, I heard that this is pretty common in all this, but my prayers that he has a speedy recovery!

Comment by proudtobehismom-Ship 10/Div 333 on August 25, 2010 at 4:16pm: HI NavyMomGL. I have booked the Residence Inn Waukegan and am very excited about it. Let me know if you book there as well so we can find each other.

Comment by NavyMomLG on August 25, 2010 at 4:01pm: Hi ladies, I am trying to keep up with all of you, but now that I am in week 2 I am trying not to look at the website every 15 minutes of the day!! I have a full time job and three other kids, and I was catching a little grief.

I am having the hardest time making up my mind about a hotel, but I think I am going to try the Residence Inn, is anyone else staying there?

With regard to Battlestations, is that done one division at a time or do they combine divisions? Just wondering if one of you gets your date before I do, if I will also know my date.

My cell phone rang early this morning while I was getting ready for work, and I accidentally chewed out my 11 year old for not answering it in time. It was just a coworker, but I said it was a test and it could have been our SR and we CAN NOT miss that call!! I'm thinking I will need to attach that phone to my body pretty soon LOL! Daughter wasn't offended, she is used to my craziness by now :)

Comment by MaribethP on August 25, 2010 at 3:35pm: Thanks for sharing! I hope he is better soon!!! Looking for that mailman now!! If not, maybe he will bring something tpmorrow!!!

Comment by Wanderlust on August 25, 2010 at 3:33pm: I just got off the phone with my husband’s grandmother and she just received a letter from him! Mail travel time I guess – she’s in Michigan and I’m in Texas. Nothing in the mail today, hoping for tomorrow. He said he was sick with a bad cold – started as a sore throat and now is in his chest. My husband never gets sick! I was really shocked to hear that but he got meds to help clear it up. Says a lot of the guys have all caught it as well. On a happier note - it seems mail is finally out so you all should get letters soon!
