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 LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on August 11, 2014 at 7:29am: ProudNavyMom#1, understanding. A big hug to you.

Comment by ProudNavyMom#1 on August 10, 2014 at 11:20pm: I posted this on Hawaii Moms, I feel better sharing... thank you for your understanding.

I've been keeping all in prayer with all that is going on in Hawaii right now.

Wanted to share.... how can a beautiful young man, son of mine, make such a bittersweet time like this, 10 hrs before he departs to Hawaii, such a joyful time, with a house full of his young kids/friends, including his sister, fiance', and best friends? ;/ God bless them all. I'm trying really hard not to be down but it's quite hard for me. Each day i have been taking as a good ole day as before, tonight is a hard one. Thank you for listening. The kids are all so beautiful and silly, ok, crazy, and loud!! but I love being in the middle of it all. I turn around and a new one has come in through the front door! HAHAHAHA seriously! I love it. Thank you Lord for letting me be part of all of this. Big hug to all. Much love,

CO-Twin I love sofa pictures (I'm guilty of the same act!) Thanks for sharing :-)

Comment by LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on August 7, 2014 at 12:25pm: CO-Twin, congrats to your son. Love the pic of him sleeping on the sofa. It seems like they all fall asleep on a sofa. It looks like you had great weather.
