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 DJ's Mom on April 12, 2011 at 11:59am: i just feel like crying!!! I agree "the anticipation!!!" I can't take it anymore!!

Comment by navymomship9div137april15 on April 12, 2011 at 11:56am: I took my 10 yr old to the store last night to pick out a new outfit for Friday. She got a really cute blue and white striped shirt with a ship wheel in glitter on the front and a blue over jacket and white capri pants. Adorable. She picks this out and says...I hope he appreciates this. LOL I realized she is only wearing it for her brother. She is a jeans and t shirt only kinda girl.

Comment by Jaimers on April 12, 2011 at 11:35am: BA HA HA >>>>> @ mamamary....(SIGH) men !!

I hear ya same her in AZ flip flops all the time ...except the other day...it was actually colder here than Chicago.....and then 2 weeks ago we were just in the triple digits...BLAH !!! I want that call already !!!!

Comment by Navymom on April 12, 2011 at 11:35am: mamamary -- I'm glad you found some winter clothes. I am surprised they even sell them there. It must be great to wear flip flops all year. I can't wait for warm weather here. I hope you keep warm. Yes, the phone calls better start coming soon or those of us that have been waiting so long will go even more crazy. My husband makes fun of me also.

Comment by Navy Mom on April 12, 2011 at 11:33am: @DJ's Mom - I saw the same forecast. Yuk is right! But I wouldn't care if there was ice, snow, sleet. Bring it on. Nothing is going to keep me from seeing my son on Friday. I never dreamed I would miss him this much. There has not been a day gone by since he left that I have not cried. I even ended up in the ER last week with chest pain and shortness of breath. Thankfully, it was only stress and anxiety. Imagine that!!! Nobody but us mom's (and GF's too)understand what it has been like these past 8 weeks. We're almost there ladies. Safe travels to everyone. Thanks for being there these past two months.

Comment by Mamamary805 (Joe's mom) on April 12, 2011 at 11:24am: I finally took aa nap. I could not sleep @ all until I knew BS21 were over!
@Jazziesmom-my husband thinks I am crazy! Everyday he asks me what is the weather like in Great Lakes....smart a$$ & what is going on in your Navy 4mom world! Funny thing is I told him if it weren't for this site & all the wonderful ladies I would be comlete bonkers oh wait I am, lol.

@DJs mom-I went winter shopping yesterday, got some great deals all winter clothes, boots on clearance. I live in Southern Cali & rain or shine we wear flip flops out here so I needed warm clothes or I will freeze my buns off, lol.
Let tge phone calls start rolling in soon..........I don't want to waIt anymore!!!

Comment by Navymom on April 12, 2011 at 11:22am: If only they knew what we are going through! haha

Comment by Zacksmom on April 12, 2011 at 11:19am: I just cannot wait to hear his voice.... I am with you Jaime and Navymom this is about ready to drive me crazy waiting.....
