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 Sparkle_Mary on November 2, 2010 at 9:43pm: If your sailor left last week and is not scheduled on the 17th grad then I would count on him being in the 22nd graduation...there is a lady ( Priscilla ) whos DIV 32 and is grading on the 22nd so I am going to say that I am safe saying anyone with a lower DIV not on the 17th is on the 22nd since they do go in order... =)

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 2, 2010 at 8:58pm: No... the music player is on playlist.com.. its from an account. Unless you have that persons account info you cannot change any songs.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 2, 2010 at 8:53pm: Hey Mary or Nancy - can multiple people add music to the music player? I am not sure how to do this; any helpful hints would be great!

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on November 2, 2010 at 8:43pm: I'm with all of you limbo ladies...hey that is what we should call ourselves! I did get my box today, but no letter yet. Sigh...just wish I knew! I want to make some plans...I think I would feel better if I could just make the plans...I am a doer and I'm getting tired of people telling me to just be patient! That is why I look forward to coming here to hear from you all. I feel like no matter what I am feeling, someone here is feeling the same thing or has just written about it! I know he is in boot camp and of course he is going to be screamed at...goodness knows I've screamed at him enough in his life...but the thought of this going on continually ...oh...I just want to know he is ok!!!!!!
Well...on another note...I'm all in for the pink scarves!!!

Comment by Suzi ship012 div036 on November 2, 2010 at 8:22pm: Haven't gotten my letter yet, so not sure if I officially belong here, but the odds are good, so I figured I may as well pop in. It is sooooo true what they say about the Navy - Hurry up and wait. First you wait for the I am here call, then the box, then the letter etc etc. Makes a hard thing even harder.

Comment by aletheap on November 2, 2010 at 8:15pm: I am not sure if this is the right group - been trying to judge from when the box comes. I got the box today, just no letter yet. 12/23 would be 8 weeks from when he arrived, so I am thinking this is the one.

I am not new to the Navy - my husband retired last year. I have been an ombudsman and helped many other moms and wives. I thought I would be okay with this - but it is HARD! It is not the same at all - not knowing that my child is doing okay. He will be fine, but I still have my moments.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on November 2, 2010 at 7:57pm: We have to keep laughing!!!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 2, 2010 at 7:55pm: Phoebe, Kim took the words right out of my mouth. He should have captured that moment forever. lol
