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 Sherri0210 PIR 4/22(Ship 3/148) on April 20, 2011 at 10:31am: I received my I am SAILOR call yesterday!!! It was great to hear so much pride in his voice! I am truly thankful for all the friendships I have made on this site! I had many dark days in the beginning and all of you (if you know it or not) helped me through it!

But I am afraid I will be on this site again real soon... since my sons ship IS deployed, so the end of May- I will be a hot mess again!

Thank you ladies and I look forward to meeting you all Real, Real soon!!!!

Comment by annamichael on April 20, 2011 at 10:01am: My sailor said Monday everyone should be calling home today with flight info for Saturday.. have your phones ready, ladies :)

Oh and by the way.. WE HAVE TWO DAYS!

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 20, 2011 at 8:42am: 3heath: You have a great attitude. Keep that up. My husband had the same cancer, and went through all the chemo treatment for a year. I know what you are going through. My husband is now cancer free, going on two years outside of remission. You will be in my prayers. If you need someone to talk to, just contact me.

I think today I am going to make my son a couple of his favorite homemade cookie (no bake). lol I can't believe tomorrow we will be heading to Great Lakes. I look forward to meeting everyone at the Meet & Greet.

Ladies have a safe trip.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 20, 2011 at 8:09am: x3heart- so much for such a lovely young lady to have to go through. You be sure and follow your advice to Freebird. You also stay strong and keep your spirits high and stay positive and never ever give up :-). It sounds like you are a very strong and deeply loving person who has a lot to offer this great big world of ours. I will keep you in my prayers. Now don't worry about those student loans. Call them (or talk to them when they call you, they will call every day lol) tell them the hardship you are having and you can get a deferment with no problem.

Freebird- I am so glad you found your way back to us. I knew all the ladies here could give you the support you needed and I am so excited for you to get those pics. Maybe someone can do a little video clip for you as well. If you have a computer with a webcam download skype, it's free :-) And even if your daughter doesn't have a computer don't worry most new sailors buy one pretty quick when they get to A-school. It is great being able to video chat with your new Sailor. I love it :-) Please let us know when you get the pics we are all excited to hear about it.

Comment by CDanielleR on April 20, 2011 at 8:00am: @MaryJune & Proudson4son85: Thank you so much. Its so hard to stay positive and to relax when I still don't know anything. And I will admit it is difficult to be on this site seeing everyone is getting those "sailor" calls. But I've never felt jealousy, I am truly happy for everyone. It just makes me super nervous and then I get discouraged when I go without a call from him. Then his family calls me everyday to see if I have heard from him and those calls make my anxiety rise. I feel like they should know by now I always call them when he calls me, even though I've only gotten 2 calls. LOL! I always called his mom after I got his letters and let her know what he says. I can only hope and continue to pray that he calls me today and lets me know he passed.

Comment by proud4son85 on April 20, 2011 at 12:40am: CDanielle we are praying hard for your BF he has determination and and God on his side and all of us women praying for him. He will call you!!!

Comment by proud4son85 on April 20, 2011 at 12:38am: Freebird
