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 Brenda Sue on August 28, 2011 at 10:55pm: Donna, you do know you are supposed to say that on Friday night - NOT Sunday night (unless, of course, you were talking about NEXT weekend - which will be great since we will have the following Monday off).

Comment by Colten's Mom-Nuke A school 1207A on August 28, 2011 at 7:44pm: Well got a call from Colten today! He sounded much better than he did last week. He is expected to get released for full duty by Sept. 19th. Yea a light at the end of the tunnel!!!! Thanks for all the prayers and support.

Comment by Elaine-PIR 10/1/10 on August 28, 2011 at 6:47pm: Had a great time yesterday in Georgetown. I think next time we need to do it in Hillsboro and do some serious shopping, whether we just window shop or spend some money. Perfect drive there and back, thanks Kat, and the food was delish. I'm having my leftovers for supper tonight. To all you ladies, it was wonderful to see you again, and Dena, it was very nice to meet you. Great stories and great company as usual. Let's do it again soon!!!

Comment by Rhonda on August 28, 2011 at 6:13pm: Hi Ladies!! Just wanted you to know that everyone I know at our Norfolk base made it thur Irean ok!!!

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on August 28, 2011 at 6:07pm: I was awakened with a phone call from SF. thanking me for bringing him into the world 26 years ago today. It was a great way to wake up. Just saw him for a moment at the end of his day on fb. too. He is enjoying where he is right now. He got to do unrep taking on fuel from another ship. He thought that was cool. It took 3 weeks for him to get his b'day box but it ended up getting there just 2 days before hand so the timing was actually perfect.

Here's hoping for a meet and greet closer to the Houston area. Glad ladies had fun the last 2 week ends though.

Comment by harleydml on August 28, 2011 at 3:18pm: Hilarie - I actually think our sons were roommates the night before shipping out - are you from Denton??

Comment by harleydml on August 28, 2011 at 3:16pm: Hi, Yes, I am from Texas and my son is on Ship 09 Div 337 graduating on 10/7. Have you received a letter (other than the form letter)?

Comment by Hilarie on August 28, 2011 at 11:58am: Any Texas Moms have kids in Bootcamp graduating Oct. 7th, SHIP 09 DIV 337?

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on August 28, 2011 at 10:35am: bwtejas - thanks, I think that may be the same thing my3sons was talking about, just couldn't remember what she called it. We turned the pump off for now, will turn it back on in a few hours and see if we get anything. I'm thinking this is all going to be rather expensive to replace, but would definitely get one of those if we do.

Our neighbors across the street and the ones next to them have already had their pumps burn up a few weeks ago. I'll be SO glad when we finally get some rain again...

Comment by bwtejas on August 28, 2011 at 10:25am: I live in Round Rock and I put a pump interrupter on my well several years ago- (actually Marx Wells did it). It stops the pump when there isn't enough water to keep the pump cool. It has saved my pump from burining up. Well worth the money
