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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 11, 2010 at 12:44pm: Deanna, thank you for your kind words. We appreciate all the help that we can get.

Donna, that is funny about the snow. lol

Vickie, I'll be praying that your son is doing fine and is now healthy. I always try to remember that the letters that we get are a few days later than when they wrote them, so he could be recovering nicely now.

Susan, Woohoo on no phone call! I think that's the first time I have said that. lol

Leslie, lol on not being able to play in the snow.

Lynne & Dianne, thank you so much for all of your wonderful advice and words of wisdom for us through this process. We would have been so lost without the two of you. ((hugs))

Cindy, that's a great idea to light the candle. I will do that too.

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on December 11, 2010 at 12:32pm: SNOWED in here in Minnestoa Ugghhh!! 11 inches SO FAR, and COUNTING!!! It will take us until Thursday to dig out!!! Praying for no more snow this week (if it ever stops)!!! For safe travels!!!

No call...or letters here!

((Hugs)) We are OH SO CLOSE LADIES!!!!

Cindy

Comment by LesCorpsmanmama on December 11, 2010 at 12:30pm: The only snow we get in Texas is on snowcones!! :P

Comment by kathy on December 11, 2010 at 12:07pm: Also, maybe some prayers sent out to the "weather gods" to keep the snow at bay until after next weekend!!!

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 11, 2010 at 11:57am: Mine is glued to my hip..- Phone

Comment by Lynne on December 11, 2010 at 11:52am: Bass pro...otherwise known as male nirvana...right...lol

kathy...you are earning your stripes...thats they way to think...good job

I don't mean to sound crass but please take your phones to the head with you....too many moms have missed calls who didn't...lol

Comment by kathy on December 11, 2010 at 11:12am: Many prayers and positive thoughts to all of the recruits. They are in the final stretch and everything I have read tells me the Navy wants everyone to get through! My son has struggled with a few things and was convinced he would be sent home in the beginning, but no call. So, no news is good news.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 11, 2010 at 11:05am: CJ's Mom- All I can say is BURRRRRRR, way to cold for me. We are supposed to get 3 to 6 inches here tomorrow and that is way too much for me. So I am off here for a while going to brave the Mall with the girls and finish up my Christmas shopping and oh yeah my honey turns 50 tomorrow so I am in search of a great gift for him, no idea what to get. He is so hard to buy for. May end up with a couple gift cards from Bass Pro (I can never go wrong with Bass Pro lol) I hope everyone has a great warm day :-)

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 11, 2010 at 10:49am: Kathy - kudos to you for going back to school - I am also going to start a masters program in June. I am 52. My boys have also grown up with a special needs brother and so they have always been in the background helping and putting their wants after his.

On the weather - we are in a blizzard right now. We had 3- 6 inches of snow with 30 - 50 mile a hour winds. Right now I have a foot of snow on the deck. Hard to see outside and I was going shopping. Tomorrow the weather will be frigid. the high will be 3 degrees. Wish this would have waited till January

Comment by diannep on December 11, 2010 at 10:45am: Just want to mention that I have been on this site for a year and have never seen BattleStations on Friday nights...because of Captains Cup Sat., most likely. So if there are no I'm a Sailor calls today from19 and 20, please don't be concerned. If they happen, that is wonderful! But if not, I have a feeling that they will go tomorrow night (calls on Monday). Just my guess from previous groups....bottom line...cell phone glued to your bodies for the calls to come at any time!
