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 2, 2010 at 1:35am: Wendi, I have been feeling kinda like that too. I think it is because we are getting so close. ((hugs)) to you.

Kathy, breathe slowly, we will all help you through it. ((hugs))

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 2, 2010 at 12:32am: I have been having a hard time this week. i don't know if it is because the end is near or if it is just that has been a long time I have seen my girl. I can't wait to see my girl.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 2, 2010 at 12:28am: Wendi, yes, thanks it is.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 2, 2010 at 12:17am: I think it is already posted there

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 2, 2010 at 12:06am: Wendi, thanks for sharing that. Wow, I hope they really do let them sleep on Thurs. I will put it in our BS discussion.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 2, 2010 at 12:04am: H told me that 904 battlestations would be on Wed which would be the 15th. She said they are up all night on Wed, get to sleep Thurs and graduate on Fri

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 1, 2010 at 11:34pm: Someone in this group asked me to post the ribbon info again so here it is. The ribbons are all hand made by me. I charge $5.00 each & shipping and that just covers materials and expenses. It is my way of paying it forward on this site. :-) They are made to show support for your sailor and make a great keepsake for a scrapbook, frame, or shadow box. I only sell them on this site so everyone you see with them on are N4M members. They are about 5" tall depending on how long the name is and the pictures do not do them justice. They look much better in person. I will post a couple of pics below and you can also go to my page and see more sample as well as some of the scrapbook items I make for Navy scrapbooks. To order just click on my name and send me a friend request and I will send you all the info for ordering. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I have been really missing my sailor today on her 21st Birthday.

Comment by TysMomKY on December 1, 2010 at 11:30pm: I haven't got a date for my SR's battlestation. I hope he calls this weekend. I have a list of questions for him! LOL I've only had two really quick calls and then a great one on Thanksgiving but he didn't give me a BS DATE. If anyone knows, please share it with me.

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 1, 2010 at 11:28pm: I am glad you all got letters I wish I would have but I know my boy doesn't write. Missing him tonight.
