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."

My son just called me to say that he's finished w/his ATT school in GL and he will be heading to San Diego on Friday. At least now we will be in the same time zone. And Terri, I cry also when I watch the grad DVD. The cool thing is I can see at the end of the DVD when I finally found him and when I'm running up to him to get that ever so coveted hug.

hi everyone, i'm terri, lenny's mom from ship 10 div 167. sorry haven't wrote in so long. since our house & trees were hit by lightening the sunday after lenny graduated(4-23-10) i don't get on line that much. he's in pensacola, fl. he started school & loves it. he loves everything about the navy. we plan to visit him in aug. after we get a new air conditioner unit. in md. the heat has been unbearable. the heat just swells my back up & in alot of pain. i still cry when i watch the video of the grad. after fl. his choices are hawaii, state of wash. & virginia. being italian the nut wants to be close as possible to home-virginia. we miss him so but want him to see the world, hawaii. but its his choice. i do like him wanting to be close to home, its been hard. at least we can talk alot. his girlfriend just got back being w/ him 2 wks.she went the perfect time, before he had started school. because of my husband's store & goofy employees we had to wait till aug. my prayers & thoughts go out to all our kids no matter were they are & families. take care & God Bless. love, terri

I'm not sure. Her ship has been based in Washington and Italy.
Comment by Oneofalot on July 28, 2010 at 4:21pm
Sorry that it moved. They don't usually do that. Do they?

My daughters ship was home ported in WA until this summer. I could have visited her there.
Comment by Oneofalot on July 28, 2010 at 4:07pm
Yeah my daughter asked for Whidbey Island and got San Diego. Her friend got Whidbey Island. Go figure.
Comment by maussie64 on July 28, 2010 at 4:03pm
Close to my home then. 8) I am an hour from San Diego.
My daughter asked for San Diego and got Diego Garcia. LOL!
God's ways are (often) not our ways.
Comment by Oneofalot on July 28, 2010 at 3:58pm
She is in San Diego. That is sort of close but I still wish she was in Washington instead of California.
Comment by maussie64 on July 28, 2010 at 3:56pm
Nice that she is close to home.
