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 DUEX_NAVY_momma on November 21, 2010 at 12:35am: I received a call from my son today, My cup runs over! I am so overjoyed.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 21, 2010 at 12:03am: Cj's Mom, what wonderful people you have surrounding you. That's so great!

Rhonda, YAY for the call. Sorry about the leave, though. :(

Susan, I am mailling A's contacts this week too. lol Glad to hear that he is confident about his run. :)

Comment by CJ's Mom on November 20, 2010 at 11:07pm: That is sad Rhonda but hopefully he will get settled into A school and then come home afterwards.
Susan CJ said it was all of them - CJ has the experience of being run out of the room by his dad. So this is too funny!

Comment by Rhondapir12/17/10 on November 20, 2010 at 10:11pm: I finally got a call from our son! He sounds great! He said the hardest thing for him was inspections. He was always a messy, so I am not suprised. I can hardly imagine him making a bed and folding clothes! I was sad that he has chosen to not come home for Christmas. He decided to only take a five day leave, bummer!

Comment by NC_Susan on November 20, 2010 at 9:35pm: CJ's Mom, I'm sure my son is one of the ones letting is fly! He used to run his sisters out of a room! My husband and I were cracking up reading what he said about their flag. How funny.
D called his girlfriend today. I told him during my call on Monday to call her the next time he could so I'm glad he did. She said they talked for 30 minutes and that he sounded great and was was joking around. She told him that I'm going to mail him his contacts and he is very happy that he won't have to wear those ugly glasses for PIR,lol. He said that he has been running a lot and eating healthy and that he's not worried about the run on Monday. I'm glad because the stress probably wouldn't help him run faster. Susan

Comment by diannep on November 20, 2010 at 9:12pm: Yah CJ's Mom! Wow...that is wonderful...what a "gift" from him....and your special friends too who are paying for your car repair! That is great news all the way around!

Comment by jewel on November 20, 2010 at 8:10pm: CJ's Mom, you raised a fine man. Congratulations.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 20, 2010 at 7:56pm: Wow, they are going to know you pretty well at GL. Maybe you will hear from him soon?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 20, 2010 at 7:47pm: I hope your son feels better soon, Salma. ((hugs)) When did your other son ship out?
