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 Janie - ProudSailorWife on August 9, 2010 at 11:12am: Thanks everyone. I love her to death so I'm sure we will have tons of fun. We are taking her on a tour of the sub so she's really excited.
Sarah - We will get new orders when he grads A school the first week of Nov. I'm excited but nervous all that the same time.

Comment by Sarah (BooBoo) on August 9, 2010 at 11:02am: Wow Janie! I hope you enjoy her visit! How much longer do you have there before you get orders again?

Slimsam, that was always something I'm sad to say that I miss...the time difference that is. It stops people you don't want calling all the time from calling. Plus then you know something is wrong if they call at 2am and don't stop until you pick up.

It's been crazy around here. We finally only have a few more boxes to unpack from forever ago. Shawn took me to firing range the other day and we both kicked butt and it was our first time. The people we were with just kept saying it's because we are from the south. I'd never even held a gun before then. With physical therapy and playing soccer I have been dead lately. Let's just hope that we score at our game tonight!

Comment by Navy/ArmyMom on August 9, 2010 at 10:11am: Lol!! Well, that's encouraging news, Slimsam! I'll share that story with her!! I HOPE her brother will have to live to regret it too!! : )

Comment by Navy/ArmyMom on August 9, 2010 at 9:56am: That's a long time, Janie. It will be exciting to have her come visit y'all!!

Slimsam, sorry you missed talking to Sam over the weekend. The time difference must be an adjustment. I haven't had that experience yet.

Rebecca started the 7th grade today. Bless her heart, she could not fall asleep last night. It was 1am before she was able to sleep. I'm praying she has a good day. She's going to try to get straight A's this 9 weeks. Her Sailor brother told her if she got straight A's for the entire year that he'd buy her a cell phone!! She has plans to hold him to it! I hope so. It's a big order, but she can do it.

Comment by Janie - ProudSailorWife on August 8, 2010 at 11:02pm: My sailor and I are so excited. His mom is coming out to see us next weekend and it till be the first time we have seen her since PIR!!

Comment by Navy/ArmyMom on August 8, 2010 at 10:01pm: That's a nice long visit, Arwen! When was he last at home?

Comment by Arwen on August 7, 2010 at 3:22pm: Chris is coming home some time in the next week. He gets his travel itinerary Monday, and may be flying home as soon as Wednesday. Then he has to report to Japan by Aug. 30.
