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 Matt's Mom/Cathy on July 16, 2011 at 11:31pm: I will Donna. Enjoy your time with Sam. Matt was home for two weeks and just flew out last Saturday. I couldn't believe how fast two weeks went by. I hope to fly out to see him at the end of August.

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on July 16, 2011 at 10:48pm: Matt's mom...Fri is Sam's last day home before going to his duty station then on to the fleet soon after. Keep me posted the next time.

Comment by Matt's Mom/Cathy on July 16, 2011 at 9:52pm: This was posted on the Lincoln page if anyone is close to San Antonio and can visit Luke that would be great.

On June 2, 2011, 19 year old Luke Wedgeworth lost alot. He lost his friend, Sgt Jeffery Sherer.
Luke sustained injuries that took both his legs.
Luke is now losing the will to move forward.
Luke is also suffering from PTSD and is in need of support...
I personally do NOT know Luke, but I am starting this page, because Luke is in need of the continued support that this Country DOES care..
PLEASE, post your comfort, support and caring, as well as ENCOURAGEMENT!! We need to keep this young Soldiers' spirits UP!!!

Thank you!!
this is the site if any of you would care to write a letter of encouragment.

and Joan was asking if any Navy Moms were close enough to visit him. She said Sam Houston Texas, near San Antonio.

Comment by Matt's Mom/Cathy on July 16, 2011 at 9:20pm: Ladies I had mentioned earlier about planning a date to sew pillowcases but just received confirmation on the date and location.

We have scheduled a day to sew pillowcases if anyone is interested in coming to Silsbee. We have a place lined up for Friday July 29 beginning at 10am. I have 3 boxes of fabric that has already been cut and is ready to be matched up and sewn. We could use your help with other things even if you don't sew. If you have any questions just ask me or Brenda Sue.

Comment by quiltblue on July 16, 2011 at 9:02pm: Had a nice meet & greet today with three other Navy Moms at my house! One Mom's son has been in since 2004, another since 2007, mine who PIRd on 4/1/2011 and another who's son leaves for BC on 8/8/11! Small group, but we had so much fun! We will be doing it again, hopefully when the weather gets cooler!
