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 diannep on October 11, 2010 at 8:15pm: Kgswife: I went up to see my sailor son in VA about a week ago....a sailor buddy of his joined us for dinnner...he also had a problem with the float....but as I said, his buddy's a sailor now....so know that your hubby will get there! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Amen!

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 11, 2010 at 8:01pm: Hi all!!!! thanks mama pete for the birthday wishes!!! HeatherMc- yes KG is my husband:) He loves the Lord so im sure he is doing a great job at keeping everyones spirits up! I ask ya'll to pray he can float for 5 minutes. he seems to be having a tough time doing that part.Im praying for ALL our men ladies!!!! W are forever connected now!!! I talked to my hubby tonight and was thrilled although our son had just gotten out of the car for football practice and missed him again:( and its his birthday... but i was so glad i got to talk to him! we are half way through!!! HOOYAHHH!!! FOR OUR SAILORS!!!

Comment by HeatherMc(ship11, DIV 369) on October 11, 2010 at 6:55pm: Of course, they get all the thoughtful gifts too,lol but we are always there to pick up pieces & cook just the way they like it. I was glad my son didn't have a g f to leave behind. It's made this easier on me in some ways, but possibly harder for him.

Comment by Tobianne on October 11, 2010 at 6:37pm: Oh the G-F got the nice long call!! I raise him give him a roof and love lol and she gets all the info, oh well still I will always be momma and the (sorry G-F do not get offended here) one that he will come back to when life caves in on him. They all do. Momma's are here for life we never go away. lol Our love is unconditional, so a few calls longer to her do not make me mad. This way she will not drive me crazy asking if I know or have heard anything from him.

Comment by Tobianne on October 11, 2010 at 6:30pm: yes just got off the phone also. I got the 2 min I am alive and was SIQ all weekend so glad we did not call yesterday.

They always get the Holiday, they just do not always get to call on the Holiday... They may even get light Pt on Weds. It is the Navy Birthday. My daughter said they are not gonna PT at all and the Af still has to so she feels special. lol

Comment by HeatherMc(ship11, DIV 369) on October 11, 2010 at 6:19pm: Hooyah! They had 2 days of relaxed schedule. So they called today! Lots of wisdom teeth were removed this week which gave them 2 days SIQ (Sick in Quarters) & 1 day LD (light duty) for those who had them removed.. They got their dog tags and now jingle all the time. KG says their nightly prayers & keeps their morale up. They are having to work on bunk making, didn't pass inspection Friday, but their first test wasn't too bad. They get results Wed. HOOYAH to news & loving voices! Go 369!!!

Comment by Mom from St Pete on October 11, 2010 at 4:59pm: Kgswife Happy B-Day to your little one. And many more.
I am flying into O'Hare on Thurs. we are renting a car also. My son's gf and I are only going to Grad.

Comment by Christina (EM Nuke gf 1111M ) on October 11, 2010 at 2:18pm: Diana I am flying out of Orl, I am fine with that airport because its local and I know where it is I just didn't know which airport most people would be flying into for the graduation since there is more than one in the area up there

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on October 11, 2010 at 2:16pm: I'm actually flying out of Sarsota if that helps a bit more

Comment by Christina (EM Nuke gf 1111M ) on October 11, 2010 at 1:56pm: Okay thanks for the airport advice. I'm from Florida and have never been to Chicago, and I also rarely fly so I don't know the airport situations lol
