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 4, 2010 at 5:02pm: Cindy, I'm sorry :( None for me either. I am thinking that they are probably really busy this week. So, even though it would have been nice, I was not counting on one today.

Comment by Katherine Ship 3 Div. 024 on December 4, 2010 at 5:01pm: Nope... still hoping, going to give it another half hour.

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on December 4, 2010 at 4:50pm: NO phone call yet :`( !! He usually calls between 2:30-3:00 Central standard time on Saturdays if he gets to call, its almost 3:00!!! Anyone else get any calls today?

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 4, 2010 at 1:29pm: My son will like the snow... if he were home he would be doing a snow ball fight for sure!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 4, 2010 at 12:40pm: Anita, wow that was a wonderful letter.

Wendi, I'll go check out the picture with H.

Susan, I know a NM kids who will also love the snow. :)

Comment by NC_Susan on December 4, 2010 at 10:20am: Illinibeam - But if he calls he can leave you a message and you can listen to it over and over and over and over, lol/

Anita - Awesome that you got a letter! Thanks for letting us know what happening!

Susan

Comment by NC_Susan on December 4, 2010 at 10:13am: Our kids are getting snow today!! It's already coming down! The CA and FL kids will LOVE it! Hopefully we all get calls today :)

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 4, 2010 at 3:36am: H is in pic 12. 2nd from the right this time. Great photos. I cant wait to see the performance.

Comment by Anita MA Mom on December 4, 2010 at 2:22am: Well it sounds like we are one of the few that got a letter. I got a letter today from Nick. He said they are VERY BUSY!! He said he had Test 2 yesterday and Fire training all next week. Pictures and hair cuts next week too. I also received a nice letter from the VFW where he had Thanksgiving Dinner with a group photo. A lot of people in it and I can't seem to find him lol. I think he is in the back barely visible, but its the thought that counts. I loved looking at the PIR from today. They said they are suppose to get 5 inches of snow there tonight. He was also excited he got to work with their sister ship 024, he said he was calling cadences for both groups like a 140. So glad that he sounds happy. He said he missed being at home Thanksgiving but this was the best Thanksgiving ever! This makes this Momma's heart Happy! :)
