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."

Cleans, and packs Monday, and flies out to NUKE A school Tuesday 1/25. Spend an hour or so at the airport than roadtrip back home to Maryland. Awesome experience! Next trip will be to Charleston, SC Super to meet all the navy moms & family Thursday night. Sorry didn't stay long got in late, working on only 3 hours sleep. Moving on to Nuke Moms. Good Luck to all future Sailors, and navy moms!!!

Comment by vibranttk on January 24, 2011 at 11:01am: Good morning to all!!! It was so great to meet everyone on Thursday and it was really great to be at graduation on Friday. I had the time of my life with my Travis we only had him Friday because he have to be at the airport on Saturday morning at like 3 in the morning so my family went to the airport about 6 in the morning and spent some more time with him:)

Comment by Too Tall's Mom on January 24, 2011 at 9:19am: Hi Cat! I am so glad you met our son. Sunday, we had brunch together, went to Guenee Mills and walked, talked. Visited the NEX store, then it was time to say good-bye. We took some beautiful pictures, enjoyed hugs and kisses. We miss our Sailor, but are so excited about the wonderful career that is waiting for him! Love to all my Sisters,

Too Tall's Proud Mom

Comment by Sharlene/Ship 007 Div 050 on January 24, 2011 at 8:25am: PIR was a beautiful! Very moving. We had a great weekend. I was great to meet all my Seasters! We had our Sailor all day Saturday and breakfast Sunday morning (had to share him with his mom). Leaving him was hard, but not sad for some reason. Maybe because he seems happy???.

Comment by DebBon / Ship7 Div 052 on January 23, 2011 at 10:31pm: Laura, yes it was very difficult saying goodbye again. I too, had an awesome weekend. The entire weekend was wonderful, met some wonderful Seasters, an AWESOME Graduation, spent time with my Sailor, and some of his friends.

Comment by Laura (ship 2 div 909) on January 23, 2011 at 8:50pm: what an awesome weekend!!! it was great to meet everyone. I have to take my son back to the base soon and i know it will be emotional AGAIN but also know he is in good hands. time went by way to fast this weekend!!

Comment by tobyswife89 on January 23, 2011 at 7:51pm: Hello everyone! We made it home about 3:45 or so this afternoon. It was hard saying goodbye to our sailor. One of his fellow sailor's family offered for him to hang out with them today. I'm so glad he didn't have to spend the day by himself.
