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 SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on May 11, 2010 at 12:56pm: ended p falling asleep last night around 0400 gave up and let the baby sleep with me....
guess he didnt want to sleep there cuz when i got up at 8 this morning he was in his own bed...lol

Comment by NI39 on May 11, 2010 at 10:29am: LindaA Maybe someone can give you a ride from the airport I would definatly be willing I havent gotten my airfare yet though So I do not know when I will be flying in. And some of the hoteles have shuttles service..I also here of a metrolink train I will look for that info today. ;)

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on May 11, 2010 at 10:02am: To SumiK0125-- hope you're catching some Z's by now. I wouldn't run before bedtime -- make it earlier in the day if you can -- exercising early "pays dividends" all day long by increasing metabolism. Yoga and/or meditation is good. . Also, try eating cheese and turkey (has triptophens to relax you). Sometimes I'll take a Tylenol PM, if I'm really keyed up. Also, I can't drink anything with caffiene (or other stimulants) after 3pm. When my husband is gone, I sleep on "his" side of the bed -- so I don't see "his" empty space.
If you pray, pray yourself to sleep --- this always works for me. Sweet dreams....

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on May 11, 2010 at 9:53am: Yeah, I'm still here! Go do something, come back and check site, look for more info, watch more utube videos on BC and Navy, look at all the Navy ship sites, (there is A LOT of web info on the Navy)! I never really considered how much this "Navy Mom" was going to be impacted by Jerr's decision! I probs going to know "just enuf to be dangerous"! But it's really a Godsend to be able to have all the infomation available -- I spoke with Jerr's recruiter yesterday and thanked him profusely for giving me the info on N4M. He said "yeah, you moms have something with your sons we guy's don't have". Starts at "conception" I think! So glad to be a mom, so proud to be a Navy Mom!

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on May 11, 2010 at 9:21am: THIS SITE IS ADDICTING! Glad I have a support group, even if my support group ismy addiction!?!

Comment by smtblnde(ship4Div814) on May 11, 2010 at 5:28am: Hi Everyone ~ My son is graduating 6/25.Got the box and the letter today. What the heck do they make them do in those clothes???? I've never seen such a dirty pair of jeans (and my son is a landscaper when he's home!). Question: Does anyone know if there is another way of getting from the airport to the hotels other than renting a car? I was planning on just using the shuttle service until I saw that it was 30 miles from the airport to the hotel...

Comment by NI39 on May 11, 2010 at 3:08am: I understand...you can watch something like an old movie or the History channel and have some chamomille tea. You need to find a hobby! It will help take your mind off of things. Although, Im not really one to talk the past few days..hehe Ill let you know if I think of anything else...;)

Comment by SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on May 11, 2010 at 2:49am: do you ladies have any advice for me to sleep better...i"m used to my husband being next to me evrey night and it's been horrible sleeping these past two weeks since hes been gone...
i've tried going for a run and hour before bed time, cleaning, turning off everything and relaxing, and taking a sleeping pill.
i'm a little sleep deprived..so i'm about ready to try anything....

Comment by NI39 on May 11, 2010 at 2:09am: Good day for most I see! Happy to hear it.. I am hoping to be over my hump by tommorow..;) I think it was a hard day for me going through his photos and missing the moments we have had. I am definatly going to get a Navy Scrapbook! So many of you had going away parties and I just could not whip it together I was too emotional! haha We did a little something but no special decorations or cake. I feel kinda bad so I am going to plan something for when he comes home. I will be getting my hotel on Priceline 90% of the time I am very satisfied with the results from there. ;)
