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 MamaMia on April 5, 2011 at 11:44pm: Mom1Girl, I'm so sorry you won't have much time together , but just seeing her again and the changes she's undergone will make your heart swell with pride, even if for a short time. I wish you all the very best.
Riptide, sorry-that WAS the picture, I guess I thought that was the simulated ship they used for Battle stations! Oops! See y'all soon!

Comment by NavyMomofOnly1Girl Ship 9 DIV126 on April 5, 2011 at 11:04pm: This will be my last e-mail. My daughter made an "unofficial" call to me at work and told me that she has to go to the airport on Saturday. She had orders to leave on Monday. Now we only have Friday to be with her. Only bright side is that we will go to the airport with her and she can have her laptop and cell phone and then I will not have to ship it later. But, just such a precious few hours with her instead of days. We are heartbroken. See you at PIR. Don't know how I will know who is who by our N4M names. I will have a LaLa Ribbon on. They are beautiful. Will be dressed in blue and red. I have white hair. (Probably from all this worrying.) Good luck to all. Thanks for being such wonderful friends and for all the advise through this incredible journey. Will leave and go to the MA group. Love you all.

Comment by Riptide11/128 on April 5, 2011 at 10:01pm: @MamaSeal....where is the picture located? I saw 2 pictures of SRs heading into USS Marlinspike....where they learn to handle lines, but I can't find one of them going into battlestations! Are you teasing me? LOL

Comment by navyrules! (Ship11/ Div 127) on April 5, 2011 at 9:29pm: I havent heard from my son (I know he was sick & tired), does any one if all of 127 made it?

Comment by MamaMia on April 5, 2011 at 8:46pm: Wow-sounds like I missed lots of great news today-everyone made it through Battle Station, right? CONGRATS! Wow, 200 pages of text and we all got through this together! You've been a great support -THANKS again all! Now time to get that suitcase packed!

Comment by texasmom Ship 11 Div 179 on April 5, 2011 at 8:25pm: mumziepooh, thank you so much for the update for DIV 124. I had to look back 7 pages to find an answer. LOL :) Congradulations to all the PIR's of 4/8/2011. I am so happy for each of you. If for some reason I do not have your e-mails, I would like to say to everyone that wrote to my SR (The one with the Knee problem), Thank you all so very very much and my GOD bless each and everyone of you and your "Sailor". I will never forget the blesses that me and my son received from each of you. Thank you so much and again congradulations to all.
