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."

Hope everyone agrees :) i think 1st round of calls should be today! I loved the blue candle post to! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Doreen, but he still hasn't called. I hope he hasn't gotten in trouble. He's only called me 2x since he's been there

Chris's Mom - remember that no news is good news. If something was wrong it's very likely you would have heard by now. DianneP mentioned earlier today that the calls don't always come the day after BS, sometimes it is later so, yes, don't lose hope. :-) I will definitely be thinking about you and hoping you get that call early early early tomorrow!!!

Chris mom,,, just thinking of you... did you hear from your sr?

Heather, I haven't heard from him since the wk before last.

It's unfortunate because my husband feels bad about Chris not calling him. He sometimes gets the feeling that Chris don't want to talk to him.

I hope he knows deep down chris loves him, & im sure when he can talk more he will call but now calls are so limited its a quick choice & I know the feeling... I'm sure we all do once in awhile... Daughters are usually closer to dads sons closer to moms... It's life, heck my daughter has written more letters to my husband, her STEP-dad than to me! But phone calls. Directly to my cell phone & runner up wasn't step dad it's brother! So it tough sometimes when he boasts about ANOTHER letter but I'm ok after all most kids hate step parents and she was 13 when he came into her life & it was rocky till about 6 months before she left..

I keep thinking about you guys.... Hope you get good news quickly
