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 Tamijzr07 on October 13, 2010 at 1:49pm: Hi Momof5 :)I'm also a mom of 5. Our son just left after a 13 day visit (leave). It was so nice to have him home for a while. I was able to switch a vacation @ work so I could be home.We got our Keel about the same time as you just a few photos of our son but lots of memories for him. Take care. Does anyone know how Baily is doing? If I remember she had a terrible problem getting rid of a lung infection. Hope all is well with her and her family. Take care All:)

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on October 12, 2010 at 4:38pm: Hi all,
It's been awhile since I've checked in. We got the keel about 3 weeks ago.
How is everyone? Miss you guys!

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on October 4, 2010 at 8:39pm: By the way, what is a keel book? Somewhere along the way I missed that.

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on October 4, 2010 at 8:39pm: Ladies, I haven't been on here in quite some time; seems everybody is doing okay. Congrats to Sailor Moe's Wife...what a beautiful photo of your wedding and many blessings to you both.

Savannah finishes A school October 29 and has verbal orders to be stationed in Sasebo, Japan as a beachmaster. It's been exciting and a little surprising, considering she was hoping to head to Europe first. But when the time came, she picked this position and is very excited about it. It's a tremendous opportunity and she is very excited. She will spend 25-30 days in San Diego before she heads off to Japan, as that is her Beachmaster Unit 1's home base. We have relatives in San Diego, Huntington Beach, and Los Angeles, so she'll have visitors and I may be able to go see her before she leaves.
Hope you are well and everyone is healthy and happy.

Comment by Jeannie (ET) on September 17, 2010 at 8:00pm: Haven't been here in awhile - hope all your sailors are doing well. My sailor son and his family now live in Kenosha , WI. My son is at 'A' school now at Great Lakes and will be there till Feb 4th. I love it that they are so close as I live in western IL. After Feb, he will go to 'C' at either San Diego, Virginia, or Pensecola. Lots of trips are in my future so I can properly spoil my 2 gandchildren.

Comment by T's mom on September 16, 2010 at 4:52pm: Got ours about 2 weeks ago.....Get Calling!!!!

Comment by Tamijzr07 on August 31, 2010 at 1:58am: Sailor Moes Wife! Congrats and much happiness to you both :) What a beautiful photo. Be Happy :)
