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 Justins Proud Mama of a Sailor on November 2, 2010 at 9:52am: Love the pictures Charity. It was so nice metting everyone at the M & G on Thursday night. My husband and I had a great time visiting with all the Mom's and Dad's. PIR was one of the most touching experiences of my life! I feel so blessed to be a part of this adventure with my Sailor and to have all of my friends here to share it with:)

Comment by CharitySailor'sWife2B on November 1, 2010 at 9:30pm: The picture I posted was Mary K, Kate G. & CL's wife.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 1, 2010 at 10:35am: Charity-I love the pic!!! you all wearing the ribbons, so cool. Wish I could have heard your sons performance joep'smom. It sounds like it was amazing. Love all the pics of the New Sailors everyone. They all look great.

So as some of you already know, Loran is not Nathans wife 2B. They were a little sneaky and got married on Sept 3rd. Loran was at A-school in Pensacola and Nathan went down to see her. Just four days after they got married he left for boot camp. They didn't want to take a chance of being stationed very far apart after their A-schools were over so they went ahead and got married instead of waiting until next summer like they had planned. So I have a son-in-law. They pretty much had to tell everyone. No one believed she would get leave to come home when she wasn't related to Amber so everyone was suspicious. And me being the "Mom" that I am had a feeling the day she got married that she was going to. I even called to see what they were doing that day lol. I just had a feeling in my gut that she was married so you know what I did? That's right I googled it..... Looked up the court house in Pensacola online and found the truth. You can't keep secrets from your Mom, she always knows everything lol. And, if there is anything you ever need to find out just go to your computer and google will help you find it. :-)

Loran is back at her base and started c-school today. Nathan will be here a while longer then he will head off to A-school in Pensacola. They probably won't get to see each other again for a while. Hopefully by Christmas. Being young and newlywed is hard for any couple. When one of them is in the military it is at least twice as hard. Put them both in the Navy and I can't even imagine how hard it will be. So please continue to keep them in your prayers. They will need them and appreciate them I am sure. Polly-I will send you a private message with Nathans info.
