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.

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."

Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
Don't discuss future operations or missions!
Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
Don't discuss specific training equipment!
Don't discuss people's names and billets in conjunction with operations!
Don't speculate about future operations!
Don't spread rumors about operations!
Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC and COMSEC when using email or phone!
Rules of thumb for parents and loved ones:
*If your sailor indicates to you they can't tell you something, believe them. Don't try to coax them into telling.
*If it is published by the navy about where a ship or unit has been (not going), that is when it's okay to share.
*If your sailor is in a high security area, say a nuke or EOD, consider using a nick name for them and you, a seperate email without your name on it, and don't even tell where YOU live. Let them tell you what they want you to tell others or if they are worried about info, always let them know you are on here. That's why they are careful on here about only putting first names on your profile page.
*Be aware, the OPSEC 10 points are about what they can't talk about. Think about what YOU might share as a parent or loved one of a military member that could cause trouble. You also have a responsibilty.
*Be respectful and teach other parents if they don't know and say too much, no need to be disrespectful or mean to them about it. Just guide them and let them know they maybe need to rewrite or delete the post. There isn't a member on here that wants to cause trouble or harm. They just aren't thinking or don't know.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our loved ones! Miss my daughter already, she just flew out this morning for her next training session. She said I couldn't cry until she boarded the plane, she got her wish but then after that the tears flow hard and long. The holidays are going to be extra hard for me this year not having most of my children with me and having a very ill sister beside. I know my daughter wants to continue her training and be the best Seabee that she can be, so I have to set her free and let her spread her wings even though it's hard on me.

Thank you all very much. Went today to welcome home another friend. It was great to see him, and he was very happy to be home as well. Having several of the guys over tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Since they just got home, I of course want to give them a home-cooked meal and a spectacular Thanksgiving feast! My hubby is having a difficult time adjusting to the time difference. I have been keeping him busy during the day and not letting him sleep until "normal" bedtimes to adjust quicker. I think we are almost there. He thankfully doesn't have to report until next Monday, so he should be great by then. It's the most amazing gift to have them home. Even though I wasn't waiting for him today, I still got teary-eyed and couldn't help but be excited for our friend to arrive. There is nothing in this world like seeing those buses pull up. I did get to watch kids run to their parent's today (because I wasn't focused on them during my own homecoming) and it is SOOOOO emotional. They are so happy to see their daddy/mommy come home. I just felt so happy for them. As hard as this military life can be, I wouldn't trade these homecomings for the world. There is nothing better than having a loved one run into your arms and tell you how much they missed you. It gives you a new perspective on what's important in life. I feel very blessed ;-)
Joanie....we should have met up today since we were in the same place! Glad your son is home and that you were there to welcome him! I know you are so happy :D
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Awe, awsome pics. So happy he is home. You may now resume life (or ease back into it) and feel like a complete circle once again.
