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 allie(Wife of BenEM) on October 27, 2010 at 8:47am: Sherri, thank you so much! I love you too, girl! I cannot wait to meet you and the fam at PIR and Michael of course! I love the support system on this site, it really gets you through the tough times and the good times! Im crossing my fingers that all of us ladies get a letter and call sometime this week.

Comment by fyrwife (EM Nuke mom) on October 27, 2010 at 12:38am: YEA!!!! I am so worried that I will miss my (#2 of #3) call that I have a little pocket type purse with a long strap that I will be wearing all day long at work. I am so afraid that I am going to walk out of my office for a quick minute and miss the call from my son. This way I don't have to worry about remembering to take my phone, it is always on me. I must say that my stress level was less today than yesterday.
My prayers are will Tabbi and her son and family.

Comment by Sherri_M on October 26, 2010 at 11:37pm: Hey everyone....I was just on the bootcamp group, and the leaving for bootcamp in OCT.. and guess what... 2 moms heard from their daughters today---phone calls....one left 10/4, and one 10/5....so those with daughters may hear from your's soon if they left about the same time, and those with sons/hubbies, maybe the boys calls are not to far behind....I guess we'll see...we can hope!

Comment by Sherri_M on October 26, 2010 at 11:24pm: Allie, praying for you girl!! Love you like you're family and we've never even met! We'll all be thinking of you and that special little one on his bday!! Just celebrate like crazy and take tons of pictures to send your sailor, he'll love it!!!!!

I do hope Tabbi is doing well....I've not heard from her for a while but been praying for the family....

Jessica B...Tabbi made me an admin...tell me what to do and where I should go and I'll try to get music if I can...I'll look around and see what, if anything I find.

oh, yes, when I got the I'm here call....it was from a 419 area code...Michael's cell had died at the airport and one of the others let him borrow his phone...so nice, even then they were starting to bond!

Comment by allie(Wife of BenEM) on October 26, 2010 at 11:02pm: Thank you so much ladies! I love this site. It really does keep my spirits up! Im so proud of all our boys and girls. I keep telling myself 3 weeks down, 5 to go. And im so thankful to have Jack to love on and keep me distracted. Thank you all so much for the support. We really all are a navy family now huh? =)

Comment by Molly*corpman* mom on October 26, 2010 at 10:58pm: you people on here are awesome.. nobody knows what we are going through unless you have been in our shoes.... im gald we have each other to talk to. I think the pwople are getting sick of hearing about this web sight,, cuz i talk about it, but they dont understand how if feels to have your love ones, with not voice contact.. oh my kid is at college i miss them so mich.. yea i bet you do but dont you get to talk to them when every you want? they have no idea what we are going through.. This will make us stronger all around people and moms or wifes, just keep thinking how pround we are of all of them,,, we will be the proudest people on 12-3. and who cares what other thinks, We are Navy families now, we understand each other.. So I thank the good Lord for each and everyone of you everyday,,,, thanks for being part of my family... and I hope some day we can help the newbies through what we have been through< buy the way when does a new group of recuites get there anyone know? so we can open our arms to them... good nigh to my family

Comment by diannep on October 26, 2010 at 10:17pm: Allie: It takes strong stock to be a Navy wife, I'm sure. And I think the ladies on here gave you good suggestions to try and get involved with groups for your baby...meet some people. And then when you are living with your husband again...hopefully you can meet up with other Navy wives and keep each other company. Hang in there...your hubby is doing a great thing! He is working hard for you two!

Comment by Melh1215(ship 09,div 016) on October 26, 2010 at 9:52pm: If no news is good news - I've gottent a lot of good news!

Allie - hang in there. I'm really sorry you're having a hard time. Just cover that baby in hugs and kisses and hopefully the next 37 days will go quickly!

Ladies - yall have to check out this video on You Tube -
"Gene Simmons' military tribute with ending."
Doesn'tmatter if you're a KISS fan or not - you will LOVE IT!
It is AWESOME!

Comment by TMH (Ship 9 Div.14) on October 26, 2010 at 9:21pm: Hang in there- allie(Ship 9 Div 10) keep your head up! It is defiantly hard on everyone. Send pictures :-) he will love that! Your husband will love that.

I just got my second letter from my daughter today ~ she is very home sick :-( but is grateful for the letters.I have to share something she said in her letter today "I am beginning to really miss home, every day I eat an apple from Yakima and I know it sounds stupid, but it makes me really sad" (We are from Seattle) I just want to hug her <3 She also mentioned the letters are so important to her :-) so I am continuing to write. Tomorrow I think I am going to bring a blank card up to her old work and have everyone sign it to send to her.

This site is awesome - Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and Ideas. It makes me feel so much more normal.

Have a great night all
