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."

Co-Twins, I'm so happy to read about your upcoming trip to see your Sailor graduate.

ProudNavyMom#1 I bet you enjoyed every minute you could spend with your Sailor and gave him lots of Hugs! I was fortunate to be at my Sailors Homecoming a month ago, it was wonderful. Very proud moments I will cherish forever.

Comment by ProudNavyMom#1 on May 10, 2014 at 5:39pm: Kevsmom I am so happy to see Kevin got home okay. I can tell the delays with the luggage didn't bother you a bit bc your Son was with you now!!! Hahaha who cared about the luggage right? Hahaha more time to talk or just be with him!!! How awesome!!!
Co-twins so happy to read your post. The homecoming for one and got to take one home and getting to see one of your twins in July!! How exciting!! They must keep you busy traveling!! <3 my son will graduate A school in July too. I hope I get to go up to Groton for his graduation if not he will be coming home for 2weeks before his assignment. I was recently there April 24-28 so I need to replenish my pocketbook first ;)
Kevsmom has been waiting a very looooong time to see her boy!! God bless you my dear
Happy Mother's Day to all you Mommas and Navy Sisters!!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on May 10, 2014 at 4:21pm: Kevsmom My nuke son left for BC last April also. We say him for PIR on 6-21 then he was home for Christmas as he graduated A school 12-21. He is in Power school now and I will see him for Graduation as I am flying out to Charleston the last week of July. I will spend a week there. He is half way through nuke school at this point. His twin left for BC a year ago last November. Have seen him for PIR then last June, He deployed right after that for 7 months. I went out for his homecoming and his twin got permission to drive up from Charleston to Norfolk. I got to take one (the deployed one) home for two weeks.
Enjoy your sailor. so happy for you.

Comment by Kevsmom93 on May 10, 2014 at 1:51pm: CO Twin my apologies I wasn't sure if you were asking me? My son just graduated as an STS from A School on Thursday. He left last April 2013 for BC and graduated June 7th, 2013. We've only seen him briefly for four days in October 2013 when he came home for his brothers graduation from the Marine Corp. So it's been a long 13 months! Thank you for your kind words we will definitely enjoy him for these next two weeks :-D

Comment by Kevsmom93 on May 10, 2014 at 1:38pm: Good morning! Thank you for asking about my son! Yes this mom's heart is HAPPY his flight finally arrived at 2 am! Then there was a delay at Sac with the baggage because they were switching the crew...lol Oh my goodness everyone was so tired, we finally walked in the door to home at 4:30 am. This is one happy Mom for the next two weeks! Thank you ladies for all your loving support!!

Comment by Laura on May 10, 2014 at 8:52am: Has your son arrived safe and sound? Been following some of the chat....Take care of him and your arm.Speedy recovery!

Comment by Kevsmom93 on May 10, 2014 at 12:43am: Finally in the air!!!

Comment by ProudNavyMom#1 on May 10, 2014 at 12:10am: Kevsmom heard flight in was delayed. You are all in my prayers. Hang in there mamma. Think two weeks!!! Two weeks!! You'll hug him so tight when you see him. He'll make you forget all the waiting. We are waiting with you. Much love!!!
