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 April 1, 2011 at 12:47am: Speaking of Chocolate Easter Bunnies...I've been putting together an Easter basket for my sailor plus two I adopted and it is difficult to not pick Chocolate! I think if I put chocolate in them they would end up in a big puddle because of melting. The mail to the ship supposedly sits in Bahrain before getting to the ship and it is hot hot hot...lots of jelly bellly's and chicks! My son asked for tee shirts, socks and underwear! My how priorities change!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on March 31, 2011 at 1:25pm: Olga- got to keep our fingers crossed on the E4 he only took the test still waiting the results.

He call me the other day it was great to hear his voice. Hubby asked him if there was anything he needed or wanted. He asked the hubby for a Malley's Choc Easter bunny for Easter.

Comment by Kim on March 29, 2011 at 11:36pm: God Bless your son, Liz!

Janis and I were just talking about how a year has gone by! Now all these young men are sailors, in their careers, sailing ships, visiting foreign ports, chasing pirates, launching missiles and doing all kinds of things we never thought about a year ago! Wow! I know mine left on April 20 last year so it is fast approaching.
By that date this year he will be half way through his first deployment.

It's nice to still see some of you on here!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on March 29, 2011 at 10:02am: Great to see that we are all able to pick up and support each other.

To think this time last year we were all shaking in our boots, heads spinning YIKES! my child is leaving for the Navy. Not knowing what to expect. Without all of the support we gave each other this experience would have been bad but it has been sweet since we all learned the ropes together and supported each other. We've cried, laughed and smiled together and that is why the past year has gone so smoothly. To all my PIR friends Thank you for being here. Bless you and your Sailors!

My sailor is fine he took the E4 test on St Patrick's day no word yet as to the results. He will begin an IA year long tour to Afghanistan in MAy and his feet leave US Soil August 2oth about. He should be returning May 23rd. I keep telling myself It's just a school year his feet will be off US soil.

Hugs to all my N4M friends.

Time really does fly bye...almost a year has gone by next month, can't believe it either!! T is doing good he is trying to get moved to a NOSK closer to Las Vegas for Drills and he has put in a Billet for Xray tech in Arizona. If you remember Tristan is a reservists. Keep coming back, love to hear from you!!

Comment by JudyB. on March 9, 2011 at 1:54am: OmG Kim, I will keep him in my prayers that he and his shipmates stay out of harms way. I bet it is kind of exciting though?!

Comment by Kim on March 8, 2011 at 10:54pm: Hey Judy!

Everything is going great! Still snow and time for skiing here in Montana!

My sailor has had an exciting deployment with first two port visits, going through the Suez Canal, dealing with the pirates and now hanging out waiting to see what is going to happen in Libya! Not a boring time for these guys!

Comment by JudyB. on March 8, 2011 at 10:38pm: Hello Everybody, I hope everyone is doing good! I just had my Corpsman home for the weekend and it was a lovely visit!

sir23, I feel so happy for you're hubby's homecoming...that is just super!!

Comment by sjr23 on March 8, 2011 at 9:42pm: I think we are going to miss Will's Homecoming, but we are going to get to see him soon and we are looking foward to hearing what the South American countries at least looked like from the ship!
