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 nnnichols/Div 940 Ship 06 on July 30, 2010 at 8:50pm: I'm also in ship 6 div 940, let me know what color ribbon. Sorry I haven't been on in several days. Can't wait until 8/20!!!!

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on July 30, 2010 at 8:50pm: Son was raised to not sir and ma'am me, just as I was not allowed to say this to my parents, even though I had to sir and ma'am everyone else. My hubby bought a new truck today, so i've been having Navy moms withdrawls, lol

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on July 30, 2010 at 4:03pm: Oh, Hoppi, I pretty much figured that, but here in Michigan, we don't get Ma'am'd that much. Makes me smile.

Comment by JDs~Angel~ (RCU) on July 30, 2010 at 2:24pm: We had a quick storm again last night but nothing major. I think it rumbled twice. Gayla (new on here, everyone say hi! *LOL*) lives in the midwest so she sees storms ALL the time! Today is nasty humid, again, and hot, though people I work with say it's "alright". *groan*

I got a letter last night and my SR's JEALOUS because I spend so much time writing and chatting with you all and not enough time writing him. I had to laugh because I spend about 3 hours a night writing him and sometimes again in the morning. I just send multiple letters in one envelope. he'll be getting individual envelopes now. Haha... His last letter had me crying.... *sniff* I miss him.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on July 29, 2010 at 11:17pm: Our mail lady has not been very nice to me this week :(- Holding out for 2 morrow!
Funny about the heat, we were looking at trucks today for hubby, and I was so HOT, I could hardly concentrate on our task at hand and while standing there in my tank top, shorts, and flips flops, I felt sooo sorry for all our SR's and having to wear their uniforms.

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on July 29, 2010 at 10:47pm: Hah! I'm just waiting to hear my son tell me he is so embarrassed that his mommy contacted RTC about his missing valuables. But I honestly don't know if the thought of identity theft even crossed his mind with so much going on with him. I didn't want to risk anything happening to his bank account, so I figured I'd send a quick e-mail even if it did embarrass him.

Comment by Sailor's Sweetheart on July 29, 2010 at 10:41pm: Great news Michimom... or should I say "Ma'am" LOL! That is really neat how they wrote back to you in such a short amount of time. I must admit, my first thought was to send them an e-mail asking them to tell my SR that I love him and am so proud of him... I quickly decided that they porbalbly wouldn't appreciate that, ha!

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on July 29, 2010 at 10:27pm: Update on my son who MIGHT graduate 8/20. He has his personal belongings back!

Since we got his letter yesterday, I was very concerned about his missing ATM card so I called the bank. Of course, they couldn't tell me anything because I am not on his account. (OK, I told him it would be a good idea to put me on his account before BC, but he wanted to be independent and wouldn't do it. Huh!) So, I got on the RTC website, found the e-mail address for the public affairs office, and sent them an e-mail. Within a short time I received a response that they spoke to him today and he had his missing items. So nice.

Funny thing: the response e-mail starts out, "Ma'am, . . . " I heard that once your child is a sailor, you'll be ma'am'd all over the place, and yes, it has started. LOL

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on July 29, 2010 at 8:55pm: Another person who will share some of the rain! lol
I can't believe we have about 20 days left!! I was so scared before my boyfriend left but I know our relationship has just gotten stronger :)

Comment by Sailor's Sweetheart on July 29, 2010 at 4:29pm: JD - It is so strange to hear about storms going on. Here is So. Cal it is about 90 degrees and HOT HOT HOT!!! A little rain would be nice here, wanna share?
Sobe - You are such a kind person, I pray that you have MANY blessings enter into your life, God Bless You! Thank you for sharing your letter from your SR. You are making a difference in his life and he will always remember you for what you are doing. Thank you!
