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 Ms. Ampi USS Germantown on January 4, 2011 at 12:55pm: Funny stories:) I would like to say thank you once again. This whole process of being a Navy mom has made me a better person., As a single mom myself, Its easily to get caught up on busy schedules and never have time to stop and smell the roses.

I'm still amazed by all of us..being states away yet we became overnight families who shared many tears of sadness and joy. I do really hope we keep in touch after PIR.

I know for a fact that I will always be eternal grateful to North Point Christian Church for what they do yearly for our lonely Sailors. I will donate every year towards the dinner for the future Sailors during the holidays.

I'm in awww by each of you:) Gotta go...running late for an appointment this morning. Have an awesome day.

Comment by Kimber Ship 12 DIV 035 on January 4, 2011 at 12:36pm: Boxers and candy.... go figure!

Comment by David's Mom on January 4, 2011 at 12:29pm: When I talked to my SR last Thursday the one thing he wants me to bring is his boxer!!! he said some of the guys are at the point of not wearing anything instead of those tighty whity, that really made me laugh

Comment by CarlyRae (ship12div034) on January 4, 2011 at 12:28pm: ONLY 3 MORE SLEEPS AND WE GET TO SEE OUR HANDSOME/BEAUTIFUL SAILORS!!!!

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

Thank you ladies so much for all the support and info over the last few weeks. I seriously would not have made it without you and my sailors letters. Living alone, having a demanding job, and friends/family who could not relate or understand was very very hard but you wonderful moms helped me through(youre all like the mom I never had)!! Thank you so much LYDIA for keeping us positive and in high spirits!!

Cant wait for my call today! and keeping my fingers crossed for good weather and transportation to work out!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY LADIES!!

Comment by becki(uss stockdale) on January 4, 2011 at 12:24pm: we land at midway at 9:40 am on the 6th and we are taking the subway to the bus station to the train..... If we get in on time... My girls think I am crazy but I think it will be fun..... the subway is a short ride and so is the bus.. then the train ride is I think a little over an hour ride.. then taking a taxi from the train station to the Ramada Inn its only like 2 miles at that point.... I think it will be fun....

Comment by Ms. Ampi USS Germantown on January 4, 2011 at 12:22pm: Good luck with battle stations today. Funny when I spoke to my daughter on Sunday she had a few MUST items she wants.. a Butterfinger and two bags of hot Cheetos oh and for lunch she wants McDonalds she craving it. I cant wait to hug her...........

Comment by Kelley (Ship 12 Div 036) on January 4, 2011 at 12:22pm: Ms Ampi - I arrive at Midway at 3:00 pm from Denver, CO if you do not mind the wait I would be more than happy to give you a ride to the Ramada.

I do not know why I did not think of this earlier, but if there is a family that can not attend the graduation and you sailor would like to spend his/her liberty with my family they would be more than welcome.

Comment by Ms. Ampi USS Germantown on January 4, 2011 at 12:18pm: I'm still trying to figure out transportation from Midway Airport to the Ramada on Jan 6th flight arrives at 1:35pm for my 13yr old and myself. I heard taxi can be pretty expensive. Any suggestions or deals you've come across??

Comment by Sugarscoop (ship 12 Div 038) on January 4, 2011 at 11:52am: Is everyone still wearing some form of red for PIR? I have a red scarf. My brain is mush....all I do is cry.

Everyone have a safe trip and God Bless
