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 poohbear28(angies mom) on December 13, 2010 at 7:20pm: it's hard being away from them for the hollidays this past thanksgiving was her first away from home the whole family missed her!

Comment by cakemom on December 13, 2010 at 7:11pm: I hear you, I'd be so happy either way just to know its over!

Comment by poohbear28(angies mom) on December 13, 2010 at 7:09pm: well i don't know if she will be out in time for christmas it's up in the air right now i don't even know if she will get to join up with another division angie only liked 1 PFA also and from what she told me she could complet everything and do battle station 21 and not even go back to a division just graduate and not have a PIR go directly to A-school but she did say that she would be able to have a weekend with us even if she didn't PIR so i'll be ready either way to go to the great lakes to see her!

Comment by cakemom on December 13, 2010 at 6:34pm: Will she be able to come home for Christmas, or does she have to go straight to A school? I am dreading having to not have her here on Christmas, and knowing she is going to be out of touch and alone- I assume that she will be able to call, but it sure isn't the same. I just hope that she can tough it out mentally and finish up. She only has one more PFA to get through when she rejoins, she just has to keep that in mind!

Comment by poohbear28(angies mom) on December 13, 2010 at 6:28pm: it will be 7 weeks for us now. i know that sadness you can hear in there voice and in there letters my daughter had a hair line stress fx.in her Rt. hip i do belive that this has been one of the worst things l have had to deal with because as a mother you need to know that your child is ok and in this case you just wait that's all you can do.

Comment by cakemom on December 13, 2010 at 6:16pm: Thank you poohbear! My daughter has fractures in both legs, so I have no idea how long she will end up being there. She is so sad.

Comment by poohbear28(angies mom) on December 13, 2010 at 6:15pm: at the end of phase 4 she will be ready to go back to a division!

Comment by poohbear28(angies mom) on December 13, 2010 at 6:12pm: it's the last phase of medical hold there is 4 of them and my daughter has been there since oct. the 28th after her injury, your daughter's doctor will move her up as she heals. the 4th is the last phase.

Comment by cakemom on December 13, 2010 at 5:41pm: I'm glad to hear another mom hasn't gotten a call since Thanksgiving, me too! I can't help but worry, esp bc it is so heard on my daughter emotionally to be there, I just hope and pray she is ok. Can someone tell me about the phases? I am not sure I understand what phase 4 is?

Comment by poohbear28(angies mom) on December 13, 2010 at 5:05pm: thanks! lindalav we need all the prayers we can get .it's making me crazy not knowing about her.
