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 Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on July 19, 2010 at 11:16pm: Hey Judy aka Tristan's mom......I hope you and your sailor are doing well. I haven't been on the other group site, since my son is in a different rating and that has very little to do with corpsmen. I found an engineer group, but it isn't as lively as our group here. You moms rock on this page. Trying to connect to others, who's sailors already went through GSM school , I am not getting any help to my questions. Really too bad. Good luck with everything.......and good night

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on July 19, 2010 at 11:09pm: Hey Pam.....thanks for the info.....I friend requested you on your profile, so that I could give you more information about Charles and his last name. Please check.
good evening Tess......I haven't seen you in a long time. I hope all is well. Is Alex still in Great Lakes? What school is he in. Charles' Rating is GSM - Gas Turbine Diesel Mechanic. He is doing pretty good. I think he is growing up fast. I sure miss him alot, even more then in BC. Stick around and say Hello from time to time.......Wishing everybody all the best....good night

Comment by Jan1 on July 19, 2010 at 9:40pm: Dear Kim,
Last week must have been the week for injuries. My son fell on concrete during a run and wound up with this bloody scrape from the elbow to his wrist. I heard about your son's stitches! Good grief! We're looking forward to our trip next week!

Comment by trashline27 on July 19, 2010 at 9:21pm: Hi Josh'swife...what is your husbands last name? I will ask Terence if he knows him! Is he there for MA? Has he been given his orders?

Comment by Kim on July 19, 2010 at 8:49pm: So I get a call on Friday from my son who says "Guess what?" What a horrible thing to say because it usually is something I don't want to hear! He tells me he got 7 stitches from playing soccer in PT. Ran head on into another sailor! He makes it through jr high and high school sports and never had an injury and 3 months in the Navy he has stitches. He said they look pretty cool! Right above his eyebrow! He loves what he is doing so I am very happy for him!

Nice to hear about what everyone is still doing and where some of the sailors are! We finally got warm weather here in Montana so am out and about enjoying it ... it doesn't last long!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on July 18, 2010 at 12:34pm: So nice to hear from each other. the No news is good news now falls on us moms for not posting. I'm sure we will be back and check in often as our Sailors careers move on. It will be interesting to see in 4 years who reenlists and who doesn't and where they all are
But no matter what GOD BLESS THEM ALL! and us too.

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on July 18, 2010 at 12:10pm: Hi Pam! Hi Olga! Hi Sabine! Hi Judy and everyone! Have been very busy but wanted to check in and say hello. I noticed new groups, new names and new (worried) posts on this site of the new wave of concerned loved ones who are going through what we went through a couple months ago. Poor souls. Well, can you believe it has been 3 months!! Hey, my son doesn't give me a lot of details about what's going on there either. He just says that everything's fine and not to worry. So, I'm trying to do that. I will worry more when he leaves GL, but for now I'm just assuming, yep, you guessed it "no news is good news"!!! So, try to believe that everything will be okay. I sent Alex a bunch of stuff, especially for his birthday and he said "thanks mom, but you need to look after yourself too". They are growing up and I think that they like to believe that they can handle things now and want us to have confidence in them. Easier said than done. We will always worry and stress out about them but I guess I"m trying not to let him see that too much. Anyway, I miss all of you and will keep plugging in here from time to time. I still have an eleven year old at home, mortgage, etc etc. But I keep all of you and your loved ones in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, Good Moms of America ;)

Comment by JudyB. on July 18, 2010 at 11:46am: Good Morning Moms, Judy here aka Tristan's mom. I pop in every other day or so and I too miss my pir moms group.

Tristan's at GL on 2nd floor with no ac but he only has one room mate, took his 2nd test on Friday, he passed with flying colors!! well almost. lol I miss everybody (come back)!!

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on July 17, 2010 at 9:49pm: ;hello all......I know it has been a while...I have been trying to find familiar faces on other groups, but it seems to me as if everybody has just strayed and is off to better places......I sure miss the daily chats and updates. charles has started A school on June 14th at Great Lakes for GSM. does anybody else have a sailor in that rating at GL? I have so many questions, and I am just not finding anyone who could shine some light on these. My son sure isn't any help to me...go figure.....

Comment by joshswife(Ship11Div212)PIR06/11 on July 17, 2010 at 9:21pm: Trashline~ My husband is in A school in San Antonio also. I am here right now visiting him. I wonder if they know each other.
