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."

lj1422, don't let the word get out about your daughters compassion...lol, my son would probably just pass me on by if he could hug a pretty girl!! lol.

Okay, Renee-sailor mom, I'm going to ask some others to pray for him. Do you know when he runs again?
Comment by Margaret(captivemom)Sh10 DIV 167 on April 20, 2010 at 10:41pm
Renee (and ALL DIV 167/168 moms, g/f's, etc) I know how you feel. I can't think of anything else. I have all of Brian's stuff packed in the van already, but can't quite bring myself to finish packing all of my things until after THE CALL. I don't think I'm going to get a wink of sleep tonight. I've been cleaning, changing the cat litter (yuck), putting out x-tra toilet paper in bathrooms for our house sitters, making lists, returning calls, you-name-it....ANYTHING to keep my mind off of what they're going through right now...NOTHING WORKS!!! I'm on the verge of tears if the CAT even looks at me (which she IS...she's looking at me very strange at this very moment - like I've lost MY MIND - which I have lmao). Hang in there - WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Comment by lj1422 (Josh's mom) on April 20, 2010 at 10:01pm
I have a good one for you all.....I was telling my daughter about someone saying that we need to remember the Recruits that don't have anyone at the PIR and to give them a hug and congratulate them....WELL...my almost 17 yr old daughter stated that she would "Sacrifice" herself for that job, to hug all the boys who don't have anyone there LOL although her father did not think that was funny..Hang in there ladies........
Comment by Ramona on April 20, 2010 at 9:36pm
RDC's Thanks from this mom also. Ben has said that all of you are really nice and have a sense of humor.

167/168 Good Luck tomorrow:)
Comment by maussie64 on April 20, 2010 at 9:24pm
Scarlett said on her first call home that God must have known the type of RDCs she needed to get through BC and that is why she was put in 923. She has only had good things to say for the whole two months.
So, many thanks from this Navy mom too!
Comment by dubbie on April 20, 2010 at 9:09pm
hey Francine, i agree with you and your husband when it comes to the RDC'S. Matthew said they were really good to him. I am so glad all this is over, and i know our sailors are! So to the RDC'S THANK YOU!!!!
