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 ER_Nuse32 on March 29, 2010 at 5:03am: OK LADIES!!!

19 DAYS!! I can't believe were are on the down hill stretch..and starting to go fast!!
I think the beginning was the waiting game and now its...Make sure I get my plane tickets...The hotel...
The car...Making sure I have enough money for food and fun...
Getting the paper work to get her sister out of school for a week with all work to bring with her.
Setting up people to take care of dogs, mail, ect..

So now 19 days seems so close!! Not that I want it to slow down for a min!!
I think today (sorta havent been to bed yet so to me its still sunday..but I guess its after 1am so its Monday now) They have the second big academic test. Keeping them all in my prayer to not just pass but to excel on the test!! I am hoping that hell week was not to terrible and that everyone made it through with flying colors!!

Can't wait to meet all that are going in 18 days!!!

Comment by tigersmom on March 29, 2010 at 2:05am: So Angie -- I presume pom-poms are out too!! KIDDING!! Your words are wise and welcome! I certainly hope we can at least WHOOP a bit! I'll TRY to contain myself! :)

Comment by ShortBecky on March 28, 2010 at 5:06pm: Anybody thinking of getting Tshirts with your child/spouse's ship & division # or maybe your N4M Screen name on them? Might be kind of fun & would make it easier to find each other. Does anyone know if the Ramada has different sections for each division?

Comment by sailormom-cathie on March 28, 2010 at 8:24am: Yeah, I also got a call yesterday although it was only about 30 min, same news everyone has a cold, basically everyone has been sick the whole time there, also heard about the pink eye. My son was happy to finally get to shoot, he scored high so got sharpshooter. He also said their DIV is doing better, he is doing well on his class tests, he was SIQ for a couple days due to teeth being pulled he was with 20 others and they loved it because they got to sleep, lol oh I also learned that they get 6 hours off every Sunday so thats when they relax, write letters etc. I asked if he knew how much liberty he will get and he didn't know and said there was no one to ask, that no one knows. His voice was very hoarse and kept saying sorry about my voice, I asked why and he says because mom we yell all the time. (guess I should have known that) . They get 15 minutes at meals, which he says is fine and that breakfast is his favorite meal, they get woken up every night to do 1/2 hour of ironing, but that next week it will be shoe polishing, oh by the way they have to iron even their underwear lol. Of course also do a lot of cleaning. Well can't think of anything else right now. So glad we all finally got called!!

Comment by screeminmomma on March 27, 2010 at 10:30pm: What the difference a phone call makes!! Yeah he sounds so good and positive even though he's still sick! Funny he said that him and some of the others have been going behind the bunks to do extra pt. Yet Somedays I couldn't get him off the couch :) Can't stop smiling!!!
