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 KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 6, 2010 at 5:45pm: Cathy j i can distract her if you want. Lol I can let my kids drive her nuts.

Comment by djloch (Zac's Mom) on August 6, 2010 at 5:41pm: txnavymom & shannon-- that is wonderful you heard from your sailor girls!!! Zac said he goes to gas chamber next week too..wonder if their divisions will be together??? Oh Im getting so excited now for them and for the IM A SAILOR call :)

Comment by djloch (Zac's Mom) on August 6, 2010 at 5:33pm: CathyJ--bless your heart..I will be praying for you CathyJ!! Did he include her on the grad list? You should stand your ground on not sharing ALL your time I think! Im telling you I'm so protective right now that I'd probably try to tear out some girls eyes that tried that..LOL...I was very proud of Zac when he chose to end his relationship with he gf of 8 months before he left..not that she was bad or anything..we loved her but he said he didnt want any distractions..plus she was starting to talk about where him AND her would be stationed and he was like wait a minute..he told me he wasnt sure he was ready to be talking future and I told him that was smart and that if it was meant to be it would be..

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on August 6, 2010 at 5:25pm: Okay I need to go to work now....but...I JUST GOT A PHONE CALL from my daughter--shannog my daughter and your daughter know each other very well...in fact because she has not received the straightener I sent her, your sweet daughter let Eryn borrow hers--pls tell her thankk you from me. They completed the 2nd PFA, took the academic test, and she scored a 4.8 out of 5.0 on someother test. Gas Chamber for 941 is NEXT week. They just finished qualifying for pistol...she cut a good enough score to earn a pistol ribbon.

She sounded great, she said the division is GELLING things are coming together!!!! Thank goodness I did not step into the bakery...it is not airconditioned so I was waiting until the last minute to get to work...and then the phone call from "Unknown" came...30 glorious minutes. :-)

Comment by djloch (Zac's Mom) on August 6, 2010 at 5:08pm: trishar--thats wonderful!

Comment by djloch (Zac's Mom) on August 6, 2010 at 5:08pm: CaliMom-- this is my cover of my scrapbook

It is hard for me to believe, my little boy, my baby...
that is now a member of our U. S. Navy.
It is hard for me to believe he grew so big and tall...
when seems only yesterday, he was learning to crawl.
It is hard for me to believe, my little boy, my world...
is waiting to sacrifice the ultimate, given one person's word.
It is hard for me to believe, he will be gone so long...
Seems like only yesterday, he was learning a new song.
It is hard for me to believe, my little boy, my joy...
Grew into a proud and caring man, from just a little boy.
It is hard for me to believe, my son has gone to fight...
Seems like only yesterday, I was kissing his cheek goodnight.
It is hard for me to believe, my little boy, my love...
can see the same moon and stars, as I can see above.
It is hard for me to believe, he is so far away...
Seems like only yesterday, he told me he would always stay.
It is hard for me to believe, my little boy, a U. S. Sailor...
Proudly wears his dress whites, all starched and tailored.
It is hard for me to believe, my son in all his pride...
Seems like only yesterday he sat in my lap and cried.
It is hard for me to believe, my little boy, my son...
may sacrifice the ultimate, before his job is done.
It is hard for me to believe, my son is a grown man...
Seems like only yesterday, his tiny hand was in my hand.
It is hard for me to believe, my little boy, my child...
is a U.S. Sailor, and still so meek and mild.
It is hard for me to believe, that’s my son in dress blues...
Seems like only yesterday, he was a child saying "I love you".
