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 Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on April 13, 2011 at 7:58pm: BugsMom, no he didn't leave me anything when he left almost 4 years ago. He lived with his dad at that time. That is a very good idea though. I wish I had his old favorite baby blanket he use to carry around. LOL! I hope he still has it somewhere for his daughter to see. Thank you so much! God bless you too!

Comment by BugsMom on April 13, 2011 at 7:53pm: Cheryl, do you have a toy of his or something like that? My son had a stuffed bean bag dog he carried with him when he was little, it's still up above my bed next to his blue star flag. He may think you're crazy, but we all understand. God bless you Mom!

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on April 13, 2011 at 7:51pm: Thank you all. I know you all totally understand how much we all miss our children. I wish I had something of his to wear, hold or smell to help me with the lonliness, but I'm not fortunate enough. Maybe when he comes home next time I will ask him for something. LOL! He will probably think that Mom has gone crazy.

So glad to hear the good news for you and your work Carol! Hope and pray all work out of you.

Praise God for all that I do have and all He does for me and my family each day!

Comment by BugsMom on April 13, 2011 at 4:25pm: Hello All! Blondie, so glad you heard from your daughter. And, the answer is yes you can do it!
Cheryl, hoping you get to hear from your son soon. I know how much you must miss him, we've all been there.
Carol, so glad you're getting the help you need at work.
Now get some rest!
Jean......you just did give us a hug, we felt it! Thanks for sharing the love.
Proud Navy/NYPD Mom....hope things are healing in your family.

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 13, 2011 at 4:03pm: Praise to God. Finally getting a cashier at work! It's been a long 2-3 months with a sub here, a sub there, here a sub, there a sub, everywhere a sub sub. I'll have my new gal on M-W-F, and an old friend on T-Th. Finally I'll be able to be done at work on time, caught up on paperwork, and sleep a little better.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on April 12, 2011 at 1:33pm: Great news, Blondie on all counts!!!! PTL!!!!! So happy for you. Praying that I will be able to talk to my son sometime soon. It is so hard to work out our time difference and when he is able to be on computer when i am. I am so missing him right now.

Comment by jean on April 12, 2011 at 12:16am: I got the biggest hug yesterday from a lady at church i know

just for me walking running in the Race for the Cure

since she is five years free of breast cancer.

and I told her I had to come to church to ask God for a Cure for it.

I wish I could give each one of you a hug like she gave me

Take care of you for you matter.
