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 Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on September 13, 2010 at 10:56am: Oh man, I would love it if Alex was assigned to Washington state as well. My sister and her family live near Seattle! Would be great. You guys are lucky! Good for you :)

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on September 13, 2010 at 9:28am: Pam- Great. go to Ohio group and find a mom with Terb...... (sp?) her son is in Washington too.
Great to hear that folks are still here.
Ian is in Pcola still and well Sunday marked 6months of no home. According to his FB account it's gonna be another 1ish months till he sees home. With us having the two younger ones in football we can't just jump to Pcola to easy. It's a 16hour drive and when you figure in his duty time we'd see him for maybe an hour or two. But another month-ish I can wait.
Everyone have a great day. take care.

Comment by Kim on September 13, 2010 at 2:48am: congrats to Eric, Pam! Seattle is such a beautiful area. Hope he gets some time to explore around! Lot's of Navy there!

Comment by Kim on September 9, 2010 at 10:34pm: Janis, if you are back for the grad take lots of pics and share! Give my Jake a HUGE hug for me...I'm so proud of all of them! One more week and they will move to the next class!!!

Comment by Jan1 on September 4, 2010 at 4:10pm: Good afternoon Navy Moms!
We received the Keel the other day also. Kim-ours only had Divisions 215 and 216 in it also. Just 2 weeks left for A school. We have plans to go back for graduation. Glad that they didn't have any problems with the hurricane. Having grown up on the east coast, I know that they can cause some major problems this time of year. Hope we have nice weather two weeks from now!

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on September 3, 2010 at 11:28pm: Hey everyone....I finally found out what the 'Keel' is. duh.......I got mine in the mail today. Did I tell you all?....charles has orders for Mayport, florida. He will be comming home in about ten days. I can't wait to put my arms around him...dang...he looks so good. He has been going to the gym and finally started his Facebook page. I am so much closer to him now, even though he is so far away......I hope all your N4M are doing well. Wishing you all the best for yourself and your sailors...good night....

Comment by Kim on September 2, 2010 at 10:00pm: Hi everyone! Glad to see some of you still active on this page! My son has two weeks left of A school and then will find out what C school he will be in and when that classes up. He is in IS school with Jan1's son and they seem to like it alot!
Doesn't PIR seem a long way away now? I received the Keel also, but was disappointed it didn't have all the divisions in it...unless mine is defective!

Take care! Kim

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on September 1, 2010 at 11:29am: Hi Pam, Charles' Mom, Olga and everyone. Pam, I got "The Keel" delivered the other day too. Must be a delivery day for them. My neighbor found it on the front porch before I did --what if I had missed it! CM, "The Keel" is sort of a sailor's yearbook. My son bought it for me before graduation and it finally got here. It's beautiful and a great keepsake. Florida? That sounds wonderful. Lucky you.
I have no idea where Alex is going to be located after he finishes classes at GL because he doesn't know yet. He says he's doing fine and I will just trust in that. His younger brother is hoping for Hawaii :)
Take care all of you moms. God bless you and your sailors. Tess

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on August 31, 2010 at 10:22pm: Hello everyone.....I know it has been a while. I hope all of you and your sailors are doing well. My son graduated from his strand today and is now in holdover. He got his orders on sunday and he will be going to mayport Florida. I am excited as this will allow us to fly there and visit him every now and then. I am looking forward to having him come home in a couple of weeks before he proceeds to his new duty station. by the way....what is a keel..? I keep reading about it but I am totally clueless.......

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on August 30, 2010 at 9:52pm: Hey there all! how about updates on the navy Life for both you and your sailors. Who has had the chance to have them home for liberty? Who's done with A school and Where did folks get set to for duty station.

My sailor is still in his A school due to finish Oct 21st. No idea where he's going yet.
