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 Kat (MM Nuke) on October 29, 2010 at 12:39am: Beckie - we may actually be on the plane before that call comes next thursday, as long as we don't get a call earlier than Thursday. Man, we'd have to go and stay the whole weekend regardless.
Just praying it all comes together and the worry was for nothing. But that is our job. I saw it in the rule book "the job of a mom is to worry." ha.

Comment by jerrikas_mom(Ship07Div355) on October 29, 2010 at 12:35am: Beckie - Thanks . I have be trying not to let the tears come, But they are tears of joy.

Comment by LinzA on October 29, 2010 at 12:32am: anyone have a seabee goingto A school... after PIR 11/5. My SR is not writing, haven't gotten any letters since end of september, one call the 10/1...

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on October 29, 2010 at 12:24am: thank you for the name reminder Beckie. yes, have them all in our hearts and prayers.

Comment by jerrikas_mom(Ship07Div355) on October 29, 2010 at 12:22am: Jerrika's Light. Let this light guide my daughter and all through Battle Stations tonight.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on October 29, 2010 at 12:14am: navymom x 2 - thank you so much for remember my son, and thank you to everyone who is holding him in your thoughts and prayers. i did have a letter today. he did say the mass is on the kidney. I talked to a friend of mine who said she herself has a mass on her kidney and on her liver and they are just benign, so i'm holding out hope that it will be nothing serious. He had the MRI today and has his run tomorrow. He said this is the time to hope he doesn't call, so now I've had to change my thought process and hope that there is no phone call until next thursday. he had to miss the last day of fire fighter training today because of the MRI and has to make it up. I don't know when he will have time but he said he WILL GET IT DONE. So still praying and crossing everything.

Comment by navymom x 2 on October 29, 2010 at 12:09am: hey kat..I was thinking of them too..said a prayer for them and your SR too..have you heard anything?

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on October 28, 2010 at 11:57pm: Have we heard anything about the poor guy with the asthma issue today? Sorry, I don't remember his mom's name. Still thinking about them and praying for them too.
and the one who didn't pass the run yesterday.

Comment by Brooklyn on October 28, 2010 at 11:24pm: thank you Beckie :)

Comment by Lynne on October 28, 2010 at 10:58pm: Just a bit of clarification....the Angie I am referring to is not the Angel on this site we know as Angie from WVA who is guiding some of our soon to be PreBud moms. I talk with her all the time. She is a delight, a wonderful lady and very helpful. It never crossed my mind that the two might get confused until just now....so remember they are two different people.
