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 CC0727 on March 31, 2011 at 11:51am: Susan!!!! YAY!!!! I have been on vacation since Saturday and just stepped back into the real world today and read your GREAT news!!! OMG I am SOOOOO excited for you!!!!! Prayers have been answered!! : )

Comment by StarChild (Ship9 Div007) on March 31, 2011 at 9:07am: Hello Everyone-I see we have a new Sister. Welcome Liddia. You are among a GREAT group of women.

Susan-I love this pic!!! Glad you are on the upside of that roller coaster.

For my stalker Sisters, I have information about Kidzafe. It is a program that will allow you to get alerts to your phone when your child chats, or get text messages no matter where they or you are. They will never know that you are checking on them. It was designed by a man whose son was stalked by a sexual predator. This weirdo even found out where this child lived, went to school and practiced sports after school. He kept asking the child to meet him even when he was told NO. When he was caught, he was asked why he was so persistent and he said because it was a challenge. Sicko!! Go to www.zamzuu.com/starchild1 and click on Services.

Well Sisters,I am not feeling well today. A little down.

5 yrs ago, I lost my brother,Robert C. Hammond. He was in the Air Force.He was 11 yrs older than me. I oftentimes was a pain in his backside (he had a special name for me) but he loved me anyway. He sometimes had to babysit me when he wanted to go out with his friends but he loved me anyway. I made mistakes but he loved me anyway. My brother was so kind, loving, caring and funny and I miss him so much. RIP Bobby! From: Your Pain In Your ***!

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on March 31, 2011 at 8:26am: Awww! Great picture, Susan!

Comment by Tamme on March 29, 2011 at 4:45pm: I was thinking the same thing- Susan's recap sounded just like Coming Home. Two of the families were in Charleston which were featured on this past Sunday's show. Fortunately they were happy homecomings.

Comment by Liddia on March 29, 2011 at 2:28pm: Susan that is so awesome

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on March 29, 2011 at 10:58am: Oh Susan, my tears keep falling. From one Mom to another, I can truly say, I am so humbled by your experience. As diificult as boot camp was, with the hugs and tears that followed, I can only imagine how tight you held him after coming home from deployment. Wow!! Hugs to you and him. I am forever greatful to your family for the sacrifice and for serving! Another HUG!!!
