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 Sylvia*Cali-mom on September 11, 2012 at 11:53pm: Lauren...I totally understand you and hubby being upset with his plans. It is scary to think that he doesn't know what he's signing up for here. We can only guide our kids nowadays with suggestions & sound advice. Unfortunately, some of them seem hell bent on learning things the hard way. (with mine leading the pack!)

Comment by Sylvia*Cali-mom on September 11, 2012 at 4:17pm: Wow! Chris is a talented artist. I'm sure you don't want to encourage the marriage thingy just yet...(they're still too young!)...but that drawing could certainly be the front cover print up of their wedding invitations!

Comment by Sylvia*Cali-mom on September 6, 2012 at 5:26pm: Happy Birthday, girlie! I guarantee you, 49 sucks more than 43. (Do the math.) lol

Comment by trisha on September 6, 2012 at 3:10pm: JoAnn - did Charlie make it home? How's the visit?

Happy Brithday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Lauren, Happy birthday to you! Yes, I sang that as I wrote it and now dogs and cats are howling.

Comment by Charlie's Desertmom on August 30, 2012 at 10:47pm: wow two years! and i still cry about missing Charlie. I am eternally grateful for all of you and your friendship and sisterhood:) Joey is doing well Sylvia:) Liz should be here in October after the evil summer ends. Charlie turns 21 0n saturday and comes home Monday ! i made a big sign for the garage door:) WELCOME HOME !!! I also finished the scrapbook I have been meaning to finish for him. i figured 21 is a special birthday.

I have been back to dieting and endless working out, I lost about 3 or 4 lbs so far. only a million more to go.....I love ZUMBA ! it is FUN !

Comment by Sylvia*Cali-mom on August 28, 2012 at 11:33am: Praying for you, Trish. My husband's on the 3 year plan. Every 3 years he has to get 'scoped'. They always find polyps in him and clip those suckers right out.

Yay, JoAnne!!! You must be ecstatic! Your boy will be home on labor day! How is your BFF, Liz? Did she ever make it out to Arizona? How's her boy (Joey) doing?

Comment by Sylvia*Cali-mom on August 28, 2012 at 11:23am: Happy 2 year PIR anniversary, gang. Unbelievable how much we've gone through and more amazingly, how we've all still stayed connected through this site. A true testament to our friendship through this journey. Love you all!

Comment by trisha on August 27, 2012 at 9:01pm: Cathy, I'm sorry about the pee pee issue. Just be glad he feels close enough to confide in you. I did warm Casey before this deployment he is to come home with what he left with , and that means no girls, babies or funky junk.

Comment by trisha on August 27, 2012 at 8:57pm: I'm sitting here doing my prep, decide to read the post and excuse my French, about p***ed myself regarding the penis post. I'm sorry Cathy, not funny but funny. Our boys, they definitely keep us hopping!

This prep SUCKS!! I've had bad plumbing as long as I can remember, get the strictures in the throat, polyps, etc. how in gods name anyone can drink two liters of this crap is beyond me. Love ya ladies!

Comment by trisha on August 27, 2012 at 2:03pm: Happy Anniversary to us! Thinking back on the past 2 years, hard to believe how much they've grown. We have weddings, grandbabies, baby drama, baby mama drama, sh*** ships, deployments, etc, etc.   Casey leaves, today, on his deployment for at least 8 months. He was home, left last Friday, and overall, it was a good visit. He's not thrilled about leaving again so soon, but it is what it is and I see the maturity coming out in him, that this is the task at hand, make it the best you can.

I bawled 2 years ago watching him at PIR and I'm bawling again today, after his last phone call home for awhile.   Ugh, at least I cry less. :-)

Have to have a colonoscopy tomorrow, with an upper GI. Had had stomach issues forever. This will be my 3rd one, they find polyps everytime, hene the need to keep doing these.   THe procedure itself doesn't bother me at all, its the prep that I had and with being sick to my stomach, today should be interesting.
