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 lupster50 on August 3, 2010 at 11:02pm: Gosh just found this site!
wanted to cry just seeing the count down clock..makes me smile tho just waiting for that day!

Comment by m'smom on August 3, 2010 at 10:22pm: It turned out that the 'thing' in my fireplace wasn't really in the fireplace. There was a humming bird in my family room! We are still trying to figuer out how it got into the house. The flue is closed and the glass doors on the fireplace are latched tight. Still looking for birdie 'presents'. Something new everyday, keeps life interesting!
Last time Matt and I had to get a squirrel out. But the flue was open that time.

Comment by KJ's MOM, Ken's Proud Mom, Cathy on August 3, 2010 at 9:29pm: Thank you for sharing info on blue candle and thanks m's mom for the 12 Steps. I have printed and will keep on my fridge. While I was writing my son, I was also reading up on comments here. I made sure to tell my son how very much I am proud of him and blessed that he is my son. I also told him of the blue candle and will light during his and all recruits the night of BS-21 along with other events. Thanks to all of you for the wealth of info and help. If your sons and daughters are even half of what love, caring, determination that I see in their parents here, they WILL succeed anything.

Comment by diannep on August 3, 2010 at 9:12pm: trishar: That is correct....12 hours for BStations....

m's mom: Ok, that is very creepy....what is in your fireplace??????

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 3, 2010 at 8:52pm: Cool

Comment by trisha on August 3, 2010 at 8:05pm: For the dads/husbands out there: http://www.navydads.com/group/navymoms

Very cool!

Comment by tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on August 3, 2010 at 6:56pm: That is my understanding too trishar.

Comment by trisha on August 3, 2010 at 6:45pm: Does anyone know what times we should have the candle lit? From what I can gather, BS starts at 8PM and lasts for 12 hours?

Comment by m'smom on August 3, 2010 at 4:25pm: Ok now I really miss my son. There is something in my fireplace!! Glass doors are too dirty to see what it is! Waiting for husband. I will not open the doors alone! Call me chicken but...

Comment by m'smom on August 3, 2010 at 4:18pm: Cathy- Do you have one of those electric candles that people put out at Christmas? Maybe you could find a blue light blub and leave that on while you are sleeping. If we lived closer I would lend you one!
