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 Pat L. in IL on November 25, 2010 at 11:16pm: ATTENTION, If there is a Barbara here who has a son on Ship 9, Div. 014, I helped feed your son Thanksgiving dinner at the VFW in Villa Park today. What an incredible young man!! He had a great time and good food. Pat

Comment by Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on November 25, 2010 at 10:57pm: I got to talk to my sailor twice today for a long time! He went with another sailor to an aunt's house. I don't know if that other sailor's mom is on here but they went to IN. I spoke with the other sailors aunt and Thank her for welcoming my son in her home! He also left us several messages on FB. Happy day!!

Comment by Marti Jacob's Mom on November 25, 2010 at 10:53pm: Proud to be A's mom. I was told you can order on PIR day. Your Daughter has to be with you. They have to order I think but you can do it the day of. I know any of my daughters would not get pictures it they could not wear makeup. It is a girl thing. But you are still going to want something to remember of the day.

Comment by Lou2 on November 25, 2010 at 10:43pm: tremontmom Oh yea! It's already on my FaceBook page and e-mailed to my sister. I'm starting to pack for next week. My sister from Houston has found hers, but I still need to find the boots though. My son said that it is not supposed to snow next week, but is going to be extremely cold. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from this Southern Girl. Well worth it though.

Comment by TammyCorpmanmom on November 25, 2010 at 10:37pm: Here is a site to view pictures of our Sailors Thanksgiving gcchome.org

Comment by tremontmom on November 25, 2010 at 10:36pm: Proud to be A's mom Ship 3Div17 ...I thought you could buy one on PIR. I thought someone said that previously, just like you have that day only to order a Keel and a dvd. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Lou2..you are welcome! I am glad you found your son in the pict...what a rush that was huh?!

Comment by Lou2 on November 25, 2010 at 9:44pm: Thank you so much tremontmom for the link. I found my son in one!!! He looks great. When he called yesterday, he said that he has lost 3 lbs so his face is a little thin again. But still GREAT to see him!!!! I pray that everyone on here is having a wonderful Thanksgiving and have been able to speak or "see" their Sailors.

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on November 25, 2010 at 9:36pm: My son is back to BC now. It was great talking with him all day long! :) I am so blessed to have such a wonderful son. Can't wait to see him next week. So very, very proud of him.
