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 Sherry/Coreysmom/1201-5 on May 10, 2011 at 6:18pm: Hi, all! I finally made it home. I hung out at the airport with Corey from 0500 till 1200, then drove to Ohio to spend the night with one of my sisters. Left at 0530 the next morning and drove to VA to see my other sisters and spend Mother's Day with my mom. Left there this morning and just got home a couple hrs ago. Boy, it's good to be home. Way too much driving this past week. It was definitely worth it to see all our Sailors at PIR.

I really enjoyed meeting you guys and some of the other families! I have gotten several phone calls from Corey since he got to GC. It is really nice to be able to actually talk to him.

I'm, gonna crash now.

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on May 10, 2011 at 3:41pm: bchattam, I've noticed that on this site, when it's a group like this one, the posts post backwards so the newest are on the first page, but when it's a discussion (like above), they post forward, so newest posts are on the last page. I'm not sure why it's set up like this, but that's how it is.

Jsparkle, good luck with your move! I guess your husband is in school with my son :)

Comment by Jsparkle (MM Wife) on May 10, 2011 at 3:32pm: we are going to south carolina for my husbands nuke school! moving this weekend....

Comment by GeorgiaNavyMom on May 10, 2011 at 10:08am: @ NashvilleNavy mom I am aware of the site "San Antonio A School above this comment wall, however, when you post to it, it posts on the last page and not the first page, which means that you have to go to page 5 to see the recent comments. Not sure if there is something wrong with the site or what.

Comment by jbird on May 10, 2011 at 6:34am: interesting that they came around when you were gone. I'm sure you didn't even know but I'm sure it's to get an accurate picture of her.

Comment by Mom2aSailor on May 9, 2011 at 10:27pm: yes,, someone from national security was poking around town asking questions about her when we left on Wed. :)
