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 mumziepooh on July 11, 2011 at 4:21pm: good afternoon ladies! Vacation Bible School started today - I am woooooopppped! And I have a house full of senior high girls over tonight for sundaes and Bible Study - suppose I should clean a toilet or two.....

txsailor - maybe they need you to inject some life into that group - sometimes, it only takes one!

I think my son finally hit his "ugg - I am sick of this class" wall - he always hit them in college, too. And he is sick with something - summer colds are the worst. Putting a care package in the mail to perk him up.

bn4givn - prayers up for your son! Hawaii - my son was SUPPOSED to put in for Hawaii but NO - he put in for Japan and actually GOT Washington......stink bug.

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on July 11, 2011 at 4:06pm: Thanks Brenda Sue. It doesn't look to be a very active group. :(

Comment by Brenda Sue on July 11, 2011 at 4:00pm: Click Here, TxSailor Sam- Donna

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on July 11, 2011 at 3:57pm: Trey's mom... Thanks for the prayers. SF will be on the USS Carney, duty station Mayport, Florida. I am thankful to get to see him first.

Brenda Sue... do you know how to find the web page for the USS Carney?

Comment by Rhonda on July 11, 2011 at 2:13pm: Treys mom have fun on the TC my hubby will very on its with you! My daughter & I will be on the peir. I told my hubby her better take pics from that angel & I will have them from the ground. Im so excited!!! Hubby flys out in the morning I fly out on thursday!! Cant wait to meet you!!!

Comment by Trey's Mom on July 11, 2011 at 1:53pm: It does say that he is leaving for deployment. I will pray that everything goes well.

I am getting to go on the TC. I hope there are lots of pictures cause I feel like I'm missing out not being at Homecoming.

bn4given--will pray for your sailor & his swim test. Is that a test for his rate or for any sailor to go out to sea?

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on July 11, 2011 at 1:10pm: Please pray for my sailor today. He has to take his level 2 swim test and is kind of nervous. Plus there are so many trying to take it that if he doesn't get in today he won't be able to try again until August (which means he can't get certified to go out on a boat until then either) they can only go 4 at a time. He is in Hawaii, which is 5 hours behind us. He had to be there at 6:30 am their time so they should be under way now...

Comment by Brenda Sue on July 11, 2011 at 11:15am: Trey's Mom, no TxSailorSam - Donna's son is not on the Enterprise - he is leaving for a deployment soon! Are you going to Norfolk to see him come in? That is an amazing sight! I got to watch the Truman come in once and my son was not even on it!

Alysia, yep - we are getting a smidgen here - more thunder than anything!

Dust off those sewing machines - we need to get together and get busy real soon!

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on July 11, 2011 at 10:39am: Good morning Texas Ladies.....praying for some rain!

Comment by Trey's Mom on July 11, 2011 at 10:12am: txsailorsam-Donna---My son is coming off his 1st sea duty deployment very soon also. Does he happen to be on the Enterprise?
