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 AshJewell on December 14, 2010 at 7:07pm: Navyfam-You are also in MY prayers. I'm sure she is feeling down on herself, but tell her to keep her head up, and God has a plan for her, obviously it wasn't the navy, it will be something much better.

NS is doing better, still sore, and wishing her recruit was with her (I can't blame her)

Tamme-I didn't give them the hotel address. I put my home address and then told them what hotel I was staying at. They told me my form was APPROVED though.

Comment by navyfam on December 14, 2010 at 6:56pm: Tamme & Bluewarriorlady-Thanks! Appeciate the prayers.

Ash-hoping to hear good news soon. Continuing to pray for NS & her sister-in-law. Please let her know she is in my thoughts & prayers. Here's to a speedy recovery.

Comment by Tamme on December 14, 2010 at 6:41pm: Welcome back, bluewarriorlady. You can just stay at a hotel in the area. You have to have received a blue form from your husband though which has to be filled out with the hotel address and faxed back.

Comment by bluewarriorlady on December 14, 2010 at 6:31pm: Hey everyone. Sorry that I haven't commented in a while. Lots of things going on with work and school, and I am so tired lately. Well, my husband called his sister this Sunday and I knew nothing about it until today. Apparently we can see him for Christmas, but we aren't sure about whether or not we have to be with someone in Chicago or not. Do any of you know if we can just get a hotel in the area?

Praying for NS, and all of you. We are almost done with this!

Navyfam, You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love you all.

Comment by Tamme on December 14, 2010 at 5:57pm: Prayers for NS. Navyfam, you are also in my prayers. If I remember right, she prepared so hard for this.

Comment by navyfam on December 14, 2010 at 5:15pm: Karla & Kate, thanks for your sentiments. Doing ok..it will be fine...God has a plan that is for sure.

Comment by Karla~ (S 12 D 042 - PIR 1/14) on December 14, 2010 at 4:53pm: Praying for NS - Ash please let her know we are all thinking of her and keep us posted!

navyfam - I didn't know about your daughter. I don't know what the circumstances are but I'm sure sorry. Are you doing okay?

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on December 14, 2010 at 4:37pm: Navyfam, all is well. Hugs.

NS, prayers out for you.

30 more days. Hope all is well.

Comment by navyfam on December 14, 2010 at 4:12pm: Ash-definitely praying! Even though my daughter is going home today...I sent you a private message last week. I still stay up on this PIR group....love you all & wish you all the best just wish things were different...oh well. Anyway they are both in my prayers. If you want to join the Christian Chat group and post the prayer request there too. http://www.navyformoms.com/group/christianchat You'll have lots of prayer warriors on it!
