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 tygerh on July 27, 2011 at 10:05am: I saw that about the sailor from the USS Boxer. I hope they find him and that he is safe. He is in my prayers.

Comment by Matt's Mom/Cathy on July 27, 2011 at 12:25am: Eaglemom sorry you can't join us this time but we can definitely plan something around a time that you can come down. Just let us know when.

Comment by Matt's Mom/Cathy on July 26, 2011 at 11:54pm: Brenda Sue the address for the church that we will sewing at is 8622 FM 418 Silsbee. If you have any problems just call me and I can meet you somewhere. I will bring chips and salsa again and order the sandwich tray. Not sure how much it cost last time but will check tomorrow. I have 3 boxes of fabric cut and ready to sew. I hope the Dayton mom and Donna gets to come over.

Comment by Jana on July 26, 2011 at 11:39pm: Proud Mama-279 and I think 280 got phone calls today. I bet 282 will get one soon.

Comment by Proud Mama on July 26, 2011 at 10:39pm: was excited and happy for you to hear you got a call Brenda72 -i hope to get one soon -what DIV is your son in? My daughter is in 282

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on July 26, 2011 at 2:41pm: Brendasue_ He is an MA also and that was the reason he gave for getting rid of his clothes, that he will "bulk up" too much and not fit them anymore! His older brother ,who is smaller than him. has already claimed a lot of the t shirts!

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on July 26, 2011 at 2:32pm: My son went to BC last November, and I didn't get rid of his clothes until May, and he had more than I do (aka, alot)! His sister moved into his room in March (yup, repainted it first), so her old room is the spare bedroom now, but somehow now the spare bedroom reminds me of him...

mumziepoo - you summed it up perfectly.

Comment by Brenda72 on July 26, 2011 at 1:21pm: Thank you SueS! Funny thing...I grew up in Pampa...lol...small world!

Comment by Trey's Mom on July 26, 2011 at 1:20pm: It does get easier after Boot Camp. We moved into our sons room and repainted our bed room (which for some reason took us several weeks) to keep us busy. So start a new project that you never had time for before and count the days down to PIR.
