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 Cat(Mom of an AO) on January 23, 2011 at 5:09pm: Too Talls mom, I just left nex after hangin with some of the sailors. Meet you wonderful son. He was relaxed and watching the game. Told him how proud you are and what a wonderful mother he has.

Comment by Too Tall's Mom on January 23, 2011 at 12:35am: Hi DebBon and All ----- After lunch we will join you at the Express to fellowship and watch the game. Thank you and see you there!

Comment by JaneyJohns on January 23, 2011 at 12:11am: Ceremony was sooo beautiful and when the vocalist sang, it brought a tear for a minute..........my sons choice of food was Red Lobster (which was yum). After we ate we hit the hotel and just hung out together and we all sat in the hot tub and swam and visited and hugged alot. We had to have him back at base by 7:30 at his request so he could double check things etc before he had to muster. His flight was to leave at 2 am saturday morning and he stated we werent to meet him there because there was a possibility we might not actually meet up with him once in the airport and the time could be short etc if we did find him. It was hard to let him go and considered keeping him but awol would not be good so we hugged and said goodbyes and love yous. For those that had the full weekend,,,,,you were so lucky. My son made the comment on the way to lunch that we were like candy to him (that he wasn't able to have for a long time) but that it'd be taken away from him again real soon. I'm glad I was able to meet so many moms....and dads and sailors.

Comment by DebBon / Ship7 Div 052 on January 22, 2011 at 11:45pm: We are staying at the Holiday Inn Express and I asked if we could stay in the Lounge area until we needed to return our Sailor to they said absolutely, then we will make our 1 hour trip home. So if anyone needs a place to watch the game in warmth come on over. They said it's common area feel free to use it.

Comment by Too Tall's Mom on January 22, 2011 at 11:03pm: We are considering going to Applebee's to watch the game, then return to base in due time.

Comment by TamiS on January 22, 2011 at 10:35pm: I'll have to record the game. We'll be driving our Sailor back to Base tomorrow after a wonderful Liberty weekend together.

Comment by Too Tall's Mom on January 22, 2011 at 8:23pm: Anyone planning on watching the Packers/Bears Game tomorrow? Any plans?

Comment by diannep on January 22, 2011 at 10:52am: Blessings to each of your sailors as they all head off into different directions to continue their Navy career.

Too Tall's Mom: SO glad that you enjoyed the ceremony. It is impressive...youtube doesn't do the PIR ceremonies justice!

HOOYAH!

Comment by Too Tall's Mom on January 22, 2011 at 9:58am: Sisters, what a glorious day! Our young men and women were stellar. How dignified the ceremony was. Sam, Dianne and Cat, thank you for all your posts.

Congratulations to all of the families. Our nation is blessed to have such a fine group of sailors. We are blessed with such a wonderful nation.

Love to you,

Too Tall's Proud Mom

Comment by DebBon / Ship7 Div 052 on January 21, 2011 at 6:22pm: It was totally AWESOME.....The best part was being able to hug my SAILOR afterwards. I will post pictures soon. Thank you all my wonderful SEASTERS, I wouldn't have been able to have made it through the past 10 1/2 weeks without ALL of you!!!!

BRAVO ZULU to all our SAILORS, remember your Moms love you best!
