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."

I just received a call from Michael! He's doing wonderful!! Says his div is doing great!!!! Yay for DIV 10!!! Talked about 15 mins cause he soooo wanted to talk to Sarah...and I'd like to think I'm a good mom, so I shared him so he could call Sarah!! He sounded very good and is excited about BS coming up....and about being adopted on Thanksgiving. They've passed everything and won lots of FLAGS!! They are counting the days till PIR! Pictures have been taken and ordered.
Can you tell I'm ;happy???
The phone rang and I was in the bathroom--straightening Victoria's hair for Cheer pictures and a game tonight and the phone rang, she picked it up and I started screaming.....nearly gave my poor daughter and niece a heart attack...and made them late for practice and pictures...but the coach understood 100percent!!! DIV 10 moms, GF's wives, etc get ready for your calls!!!!! I hope the other DIV get calls soon too!! MOST AMAZING THING IN THE WORLD!!!

Comment by diannep on November 11, 2010 at 4:41pm: Ok, we South Floridians tend to be wimpy with cold weather. My son is in VA. He called and said he is FREEZING because it got down to 32. I have tried to tell him about the "layering" thing...yeah, whatever. He wants shorts and flip flop weather yearround! Too bad for him! I'm currently in my shorts and flip flops.... :-)

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on November 11, 2010 at 4:06pm: lynne that was a cool storyy... i will never give out my boyfriend's picture to anybody lol... and i change my profile pics... i used to have him with me in the profile pic i used to have

Comment by Lynne on November 11, 2010 at 3:58pm: Yeah huh...I know he was just concerned...lol...I am just not sure your recruit wants them to be concerned...lol...good job on changing the pictures and stuff..you will be glad you did and I bet Jessica will support me on this...where the heck is she when I need her...lol

Here is a good story...one mom asked for directions to Great Lakes and got very good ones from someone...who then asked her about her picture and what her son's name was and guess who that was....her son's RDC....it all turned out ok...but just saying....
