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."

I get all excited, my wife is calling. A man's voice on the other end, talk about anti-climactic, a sales guy from a warehouse I went to visit in Chicago!!

Hope everyone made it home safely... off to work...

Comment by texasgirl on March 2, 2010 at 1:07am: Hey everyone! Hope everyone is back home safe and sound, and had a wonderful visit with their sons. I am sorry I didn't get to meet any of you. I hope to get some pics posted real soon. (And a profile pic!)

Congrats to everyone!!!! My son, Travis (Ship 6/Div 915) s going to P-Cola....he said quite a few were going there too, and were going to be in the same A school too. Maybe I will see you at that graduation in 2 months?!!

Comment by dreams on March 1, 2010 at 8:36pm: Evening everyone... Made it back to Va Beach today...nice warm 50s....

It was great meeting those of you I did meet, but of course the best part was seeing my new Sailor and getting to spend some time with him. It went fast and yes it was so very hard on Sunday driving him back to the base - and getting those last hugs in...sigh....

I look forward to more visits tho, and phone calls, and texts and emails and skyping...etc. etc...

I am pooped tho - emotionally and physically.... glad we all made it through this and I want to thank you all for you support these last few weeks. This group made it bearable...

Bless you all

Comment by True Grit on March 1, 2010 at 11:32am: We're home to a mess. Half the town is w/o power, no school today as they are being used as shelters. 5 feet of heart attack snow, three trees down in our yards one took out the neighbors fence. Luckily no one was hurt, and nothing hit the houses, cars or our boat, so it's all good! Our Sailor had his orders shredded and is awaiting new ones. He also mentioned that they are sending MA class sailors to the battle zones in towel head country. But that wouldn't be until after a school. So we'll keep hope alive that he doesn't have to go & if he does that he's safe 24/7. Before our goodbye last night my husband handed him a Challenge Coin that he had engraved with our sons name and date. Did anyone else do the same.? My husband says it's a tradition thing. He went on to tell me about it, I think its a silly thing but alas a male thing and you know the saying of boys and their toys :)

We also met and adopted a fine Lad who is on the road to a better life and we hope his wedding plans come to fruition

Comment by bahkmom09/86 on February 28, 2010 at 12:10am: We are heading out very early also. It was a wonderful visit and it is amazing to see the difference a few weeks make! Everyone who is leaving tomorrow have a safe trip. Hopefully the weather will cooperate better than the trip out here.

Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 27, 2010 at 11:58pm: Hey all, just thought I would check in, I see everyone is still busy with their trips- What a great ceremony! I cannot believe how much my son has matured, He was already mature, but WOW!
Monica, I will be glad to email or text you pictures. I will be uploading them after I get back. I gave up trying to video the thing and ended up buying the video. I wont be going home til Monday morning. We have met so many people and truly enjoyed the our precious time with my son. I am going to miss him even more when I go home

Comment by True Grit on February 27, 2010 at 10:47pm: last night here bye 2 you all and god speed to our Sailors

Comment by Debbie on February 27, 2010 at 1:27am: Hello All - Wonderful day today and many congratulations to you and your sailors! All the divisions were spectacular and I thought the PIR was simply great. This was a very special day for all of us and our sailors - Best wishes to all.
