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 Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 20, 2010 at 3:45pm: Hi there! My SR PIR's 10-08-10. Less than 3 weeks - cannot wait to see him!!! :-)

Comment by KatK on September 19, 2010 at 8:40pm: Please pray for my son who is taking is OOD test this week. I, as his mother, am probably more nervous than he is but I ask that you please keep him in your prayers.

Comment by Rhonda8881 on September 19, 2010 at 8:27pm: Welcome Ship10mom! When is PIR for your sailor?

Comment by SimplyJRB-ADs Mom on September 14, 2010 at 9:32pm: Welcome Ship 10 Mom. Glad you joined the group. :)

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 14, 2010 at 6:00pm: Mikie724 - your comments brought tears to my eyes - tears of pride and anticipation for a feeling of belonging and purpose I'm not sure my SR has really had before. I know this is one of the driving forces for him becoming a Sailor - in fact his words to us were "I want to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people that I can at any given time...and I want to belong" Broke my heart and made me proud at the same time - such an amazing thing the human heart our God gave us - you'd think it would burst sometimes! :-) Anyhow, I've often been a civie that stopped and thanked a service person from my heart, does me good to picture my son having that experience! Good for you on the wonderful child you raised!

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 14, 2010 at 5:56pm: Hi all! Just found your group through a friend's groups (thanks cameowlot!)
Happy to be a part of it all!

Comment by SimplyJRB-ADs Mom on September 12, 2010 at 9:47pm: Please pray for all our military; but especially those SRs who will be going through BS later this week & next week. Div 319 will go thru Friday evening; while I'm out of town for the weekend. Told my SR I had better still get my call, when he is finished! :) :)

Comment by KLMkathy on August 30, 2010 at 1:21am: Thank you so much Rhonda and everyone who has been praying for Ron and his family. I know they appreciate all the prayers sent their way. God Bless you all. Kathy

Comment by Rhonda8881 on August 28, 2010 at 12:36pm: Please remember the family and friends of James Michael Swink, a sailor who was killed in action in Afghanistan on August 26, 2010. May you rest in the Peace of our Lord's loving arms.

If I receive the address of the family and you would like to send a card, please leave me a message.

Comment by Rhonda8881 on August 28, 2010 at 11:48am: Kathy, thank you for the update on Ron. I added him to my prayer list at church and have had several people asking for an update. I will pass this on to them and ask for continued prayers for his healing and that of his family.
