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 sjtina on October 10, 2010 at 11:37pm: saying goodbye was like starting all over again

Comment by sjtina on October 10, 2010 at 11:36pm: khoo..we must of visited the same places. I recognize them in the picture. Gurnee mall. that place was huge and Navy Pier was cool

Comment by Judy Proud Mom on October 10, 2010 at 1:47pm: Well ladies, I am going to bow out of this group now. Too those who supported me, thank you! Too those who were frustrated with me, I am sorry, and I pray you never have to go through anything stressfull. So glad you all had a great visit with your sailors!

Comment by khoov00 (Kara) on October 10, 2010 at 1:18pm: This one would be perfect if Grandpa knew how to use the camera in his phone. LOL.

Comment by khoov00 (Kara) on October 10, 2010 at 1:17pm: I didn't get to be there but got a couple of great pics sent to me from my son's phone.

Comment by MaribethP on October 10, 2010 at 12:48pm: I just wanted to say that I do hope you are all enjoying your weekend with your sons, husbands, boyfriends, etc... I have seen some pics and I am so happy for all of you! Your sailors worked very hard!!

I have not posted on here for a week now as my son was separated last Friday, 7 days before graduation. He has pneumonia/bronchitis, double ear infections and throat infections (although he is doing much better today). He is being sent home though due to a condition in his neck that they found when he went to medical, therefore "disqualifying" him. This was very heartbreaking to me and to him. He was told he can come back with medical clearance. I am not sure what his plans are at this time but I do know they are flying him home to me on Tuesday. It was just very hard to hear this after 7 long weeks of him training and then to be told this.

I want to thank everyone here for all the great information I have had over the past 8 weeks. I was crushed when I realized I would not be going to PIR on 10/08; I can only imagine how my son felt! Who knows, maybe I will one day be back on here with a different PIR date!!!

But I truly believe there are reasons for everything that happens in life! I will keep all of you and your new sailors in my thoughts as they embark on their next journey with the Navy!!

I have made a few friends on here that I would love to stay in touch with via Facebook!! (You three know who you are).

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend!!

Comment by sjtina on October 9, 2010 at 11:01pm: having a great weekend with my son. he has to be back by 8:00, so we have been getting a early start. The navy pier was really awesome. chicago was impressive. will be sad going home tomorrow.

Comment by jamielyn on October 9, 2010 at 8:37pm: I have been having a perfect weekend with my husband! I am bummed because we bought our plane tickets before we knew they had Monday off, so we were flying out early Monday morning. When we tried to change them after we found out he had Monday off as well, they wanted to charge us $200 per ticket to change the time to a later flight which we can't afford...how ridiculous is that?!? So tomorrow is our last day with him :( But we will make it a great one!

Comment by Honnalora on October 9, 2010 at 8:32pm: Just realized as we were dropping of our sailor at base, that we are half way through our weekend with him. 2 days down, 2 to go. I need a lot more time than that! But, I will take what I can get and love every minute of it.
