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."

My son graduated! Yippee - he is now a CTR and will be home tomorrow - he and my husband are driving his truck home from Pcola via Bourbon Street.....He reports to Whidbey Island in Washington on the 25th.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on August 5, 2011 at 11:42am: Never a dull moment around here... hubby hit a deer with MY CAR this morning! He's fine just have to fight with the insurance company now. Wish he would have taken his truck now instead! :)

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on August 5, 2011 at 11:35am: TGIF ladies....date night with the hubby ~fajitas & some ritas!!

Here's a picture of Ryan & a buddy; hazmat ready for anything! They all had to run through getting dressed until it was done right; 5 times!!! Can you say HAAWWTT
Of course Ryan said he did it right the first time, HooYah!

Comment by Sharpmom2012 on August 5, 2011 at 10:42am: BrendaSue, Thanks so much for the information. Would love to contact her. My daughter may know her son, depending on when he graduated. It would be great to actually meet another mom. I know there are about 6 people from my daughter's graduating class that have either already left for the Navy or are in DEP like my daughter. Will have to also see if their parents would be interested in forming a local support group.

Comment by Maria ( 9/132 - HM- 04-2011) on August 4, 2011 at 6:40pm: My son was a stick in boot. He did not like it one bit. They have to get up earlier than anyone else and after awhile their hand cramps and goes numb. The 2 good things about it. 1 they usually get their food first and 2 during.
por they are upfront so you can get really good pictures.

Comment by Brenda72 on August 4, 2011 at 5:14pm: Oh I see...my son told me he was a stick but their flag was not ready....

Comment by Brenda Sue on August 4, 2011 at 5:02pm: Sharpmom, there is Theresa, Cole's mom from Dayton! She gets on FB more than she does here. I can get you in contact with her if you don't already know her. Welcome to N4M's!

Comment by Sharpmom2012 on August 4, 2011 at 4:55pm: I live in Dayton, TX. My daughter is in DEP with a March ship date. Any other moms from the Houston area?

Comment by quiltblue on August 4, 2011 at 4:45pm: A stick is anyone who carries a flag or stand in the place of where a flag carrier would be if they "won" an award... for example those standing behind our two honor award winners holding the flags are called "sticks". HooYah!
