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."

Hi all!  I thought this might be a good way for us to connect!  So took the advice of some other moms.  Hopefully we can get information on when we start receiving calls and letters and other info!

I was at the mall today, stopped to read all the posts of the Mom's of new Sailors, started balling right in the freakin mall. LOL

I got the call from my SAILOR!!! Of course I was at the salon getting my hair done, so kindly told the lady to stop because I needed some major uninterrupted time with my guy! (luckily she was very forgiving lol) He said all of 092 passed & they did great! I got to talk to him for 45 minutes - it was pure bliss. To make the day even more amazing, I came home to 5 letters. 2nd to best day. ever. PIR will of course top it all ;) He sounded excited for captain's cup on saturday, so should give them all a little more fun to wrap up such an exciting week.  Good luck to all the other divisions!

NavyWife, I sent a box of those to my sailor and told him that I had found his Dopelganger.  LOL

That would be okay too.  I am bringing a tide pen so we are covered. With all the things I am bringing I might be a long time going through security.
Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on March 3, 2011 at 7:19pm
Are you kidding me?  I am already crying with tears of joy and pride.  I bought  a 6 pack of tissues in case anyone else needs one.
Comment by HapsMom on March 3, 2011 at 7:16pm
Trust me...you will not be alone in the crying arena
Comment by Hunters_Mom_12/092_MAA on March 3, 2011 at 7:13pm
Tell em soliz53 - near everyone chokes up or cries at some point huh?! Er, will I be the only one?
Comment by Hunters_Mom_12/092_MAA on March 3, 2011 at 7:11pm
Oh gosh, my Sailor said "do NOT cry at graduation mom" So, I started crying and laughing at the same time. Told him all the moms and yes, even grown men will be crying. HE is the one that cannot cry, and be full of pride~! Still trying to boss me around. LOL
