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 Diana in Az on October 30, 2010 at 1:16am: Wow I was sick all day and in bed for most of it. just checking here to see how everything is going, congrats to all those who did battlestations and are now Sailors that is exciting. my son doesn't do this till next Wednesday, which is when we are flying there. I have only spoke to my son once since he has been gone. I really miss him and am really stressing, I am sure that is what is making me sick.

Lynne, I am sorry you son got sick, but am glad he still gets to do battlestations.

Comment by Lynne on October 29, 2010 at 11:18pm: I don't how to thank all of you for you friendship and kindness...it means more than you will ever know!!

Comment by Lynne on October 29, 2010 at 10:58pm: Thank you all, you know what....I am just venting...I probably won't do one darn thing...but you know how it is...thank you fo all your thoughts and prayers...I will be fine...and I love and appreciate each and every one fo you!!

Comment by diannep on October 29, 2010 at 10:28pm: Lynne: Reading all of these posts, it is obvious how beloved you are on this site and how many are praying for you and your son! So I hope that you rest well tonight...

Comment by navymom x 2 on October 29, 2010 at 10:25pm: Well I'm thinking lack of sleep..stress..close quarters..and just a thought.. maybe they need to be given more time to wash hands..I wonder if they have hand sanitizers..with alcohol..I don't know..I bet Mitch is laughing about this..us moms want clean and perfect conditions..is it too much to ask..IDK. .. LOL.

Comment by preston8655 on October 29, 2010 at 10:24pm: Lynne will keep you in my prayers, and one good thing is he's gettin better and will still graduate on time GOD IS GOOD. I really hate this happen to your son, you and your family. GOD BLESS.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on October 29, 2010 at 10:16pm: Navymom x 2 - What is up with all this illness back there? Seriously, my son doesn't get sick much either and it has been non stop since he got there. Who ever thought of putting the facility there where they have to be indoors so much, and where illness spreads so easily? My husband said in Marine Corp boot camp they sure didn't have this type of illness going on. They were in California and mostly outdoors. Does make a difference. I can't even imagine that the RDC's and all stay healthy with this going on all the time.

Comment by Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on October 29, 2010 at 10:15pm: Lynn, my thoughts are with you. Your son is now in my son's division so hopefully they meet soon. He's on time for PIR and that is amazing. Battlestations next Wednesday for 363!

Comment by Lynne on October 29, 2010 at 10:11pm: Oh trust me I won't do it...I have a secret weapon!

Comment by Lynne on October 29, 2010 at 10:06pm: And Denise I think I am like the luckiest person out there....because my recruiter or my son's recruiter has called here like every 10 days or so just to check in and see how things are and if I have heard from my recruit and just to check in. He is awesome. He has even helped out other people on this site whose recruiters were not as helpful...lol!!
