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 Kim on December 6, 2010 at 11:51pm: Great to hear what eveyone is doing as well as their sailors!
Yes, Janis' son and mine are on the Enterprise and are funny with their stories of their escapades (all harmless of course!). Janis' sailor has a car so they are always headed somewhere! Mine will be home for 5 days around Christmas so it will be fun...

If any of you have a sailor driving east to west or west to east in the upper half of the states they, too, have a warm place to stay (of course outside it is 7 degrees right now). We had a nuke stay here who was driving his car from NY to Bremerton!
Keep in touch!

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on December 6, 2010 at 8:17pm: Hi Pam. You'll catch up to him! Hey, my sister lives near Seattle. Bellevue, I think. I'll have to look up Bremerton. Hang in there girl. Eric will be all right :) Keep running!

Comment by JudyB. on December 6, 2010 at 2:31pm: Good Morning Jan,Tess, Olga, Sabine and anyone I have not mentioned! First, I have to state the same thing as Tess...All our sailors have a soft place to lay their heads while on the Coast of California, especially in Pismo Beach! So Please keep a mental note that we are Family through our Navy family... Always!!

Well, T has grown spiritually, Mentally, emotionally and most of All his journey within the Navy Family has produced a Heart warming, compassionate and humble young man that I could not be any prouder of. He has found a partner in life to share his dreams with and he and Miss Katie will be engaged right after the Holidays; they have purchased a Condo in Las Vegas (where she lives) and he plans to as a Reservist settle in until he lands a job with Law Enforcement. I'm so happy that my hubby and myself have been invited to spend Christmas with them and Katie's parents...God is good...all the time!!

Jan, I'm so happy that Kim's cub and yours were able to continue their journey's together since BC and now serving their deployments together, looks like they will be life long buddy's...Huh!!

Pam, I'm hoping for Alex to be stationed in San Diego cause we may get a chance to visit with him here on the Central Coast!!

Everyone, my Christmas wish is for US all to continue to post here as to how our cubs are advancing in their Naval Careers and their well being. Indeed, our lives have been brought together in time for a reason. :)

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on December 6, 2010 at 11:47am: Hi Pam, Kim, Judy, Olga, Sabine and everyone. Hope everyone's doing well. It's been a long time. Alex is still in GL but will be finished soon. He'll be home for Christmas. Then it's off to either Virginia or San Diego for a couple more months, and then.... ? I'm hearing a lot about sailors assigned to the west coast/Hawaii. That would be nice for us since we already live here! I guess we will just have to wait and see. If any of your sailors are ever near us (Los Angeles area), please know that they are always welcome at our home for any reason. Family, always. Love you all. Happy Holidays! :)

Comment by Jan1 on December 5, 2010 at 11:06am: Dear Judy,
Congratulations to you and your son as he completes all of his coursework! Are you going to be able to attend the ceremony? Kim and I were fortunate to be able to attend our sons' C school graduation. They have been in the same group since boot camp and are now serving together on the same ship! That is quite an honor for your son! Best of luck to him as he continues with his Navy journey.

Comment by Jan1 on December 5, 2010 at 10:34am: I look now and then back on the Boot Camp site. We sure were fortunate that our sailors went through BC during the spring! I saw a whole group left 2 days before Thanksgivng. They will be gone for all the holidays! We were so blessed to be able to have PIR in June when the weather was so nice in Chicago and there were so many sites to go to with our sailors that are closed now for the winter. Plus our sailors didn't have the added duties of snow removal! Blessings to all of our sailors and their families during this Christmas season!

Comment by JudyB. on December 5, 2010 at 3:05am: Hey Kim, Happy Holidays goes out to you and your Family! How is your Sailor doing?! T is in Camp Pendelton finishing up with FMTB and with be pinned on 12/16/2010. What a long haul it has taken to get to this point of the journey...but I have to say We could not have done it without everyone here when we all started out together!! May God Bless and keep everyone of our Men & Women and to those who are standing while we sleep in the Best Country on this planet...United States of America!!

Comment by Kim on December 5, 2010 at 2:43am: Happy Holidays everyone! Hope this holiday season finds everyone safe and happy. My thoughts are with all of our sailors who are spread across the US and the world! And you Navy Moms who have helped to support all of us through this crazy year of bootcamp, schools and duty stations!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on October 28, 2010 at 9:09pm: TracyLynn- Heads up it's expensive in Pcola pretty much cabs to where ever you want to go if you don't have a car. If we ahd know for sure my guy was gonna stay in the states we would have done acar but Now he's going to Cali so we'll see if he needs a car or a bike (not motorcycle type)

Comment by TracyLynn on October 28, 2010 at 6:31pm: Tyler has been home for the past couple of weeks.. Ohhh how I have enjoyed him!!! He has changed soo much .. but also stepped right back into being my little boy. Funny how some things don't change. My heart needed that though. From here he will be on to Hawaii, so atleast I have a great place to vacation : ) Hope everyone is doing great!!
