OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 Kathy on May 30, 2013 at 5:43pm: dannab if your son wants to go on a cruise they do give discounts to military, and they sail out of Jackson or he can go to Port Canaveral, Florida which is about 3 hours south of Kings Bay. That is where we sailed out of when we went on our cruise. There is even an Air Force base there and an sub base there. To fly to Hawaii it is about 1000 round trip in lest he can get a hop, but I don't know if they still do that like they did when I was in. There is a lot of beaches in Florida with some base near by that he can stay at for half the price of a normal hotel.

Comment by Kathy on May 30, 2013 at 5:35pm: They get messages every time they put the antenna up. But if they are running silent they can't not send out emails but they do get there emails. So I am sure if have been sending emails they have been getting them.

Comment by karinabeana611 on May 30, 2013 at 4:23pm: I got emails too! :) :) Do they get the emails we send them regularly and they just write them and they all send at once? So excited to finally hear from him!! :D

Comment by donnab on May 30, 2013 at 3:10pm: My son talked mainly about missing the sunshine because he is such an outdoors person, he wrote about taking leave after he got back and going on a cruise or fly somehwere like Hawaii, I can tell he really missing being outside. I just hope the rest of this deployment passes by quickly so that he can do the things he really enjoys.

Comment by Kathy on May 30, 2013 at 2:58pm: I got a email and it is dated on the 28th but we always number our emails. I am on like number 38 to him and his is on 7 to me. All my son said was he need the info on my truck for his leave orders and wanted to know about some rock concerts that will be going on when he will be on leave. He also said he did not have much time and he would send a longer email later.

Comment by Minnie on May 30, 2013 at 1:49pm: Nah, we never dated or numbered our e-mails, so... no idea when it was sent or anything.

Comment by donnab on May 30, 2013 at 1:46pm: I got an email too, I was so excited to hear from him, it was dated about 2 weeks ago, did he date the email you received Minnie?

Comment by NavyMomLG on May 30, 2013 at 1:20pm: Minnie- so happy you finally got an e-mail. Hope everything is going well.

Comment by Minnie on May 30, 2013 at 12:32pm: E-mail! E-mail! E-mail! A very short e-mail, but an e-mail!

Comment by karinabeana611 on May 26, 2013 at 7:04pm: Wow, that video brought tears to my eyes! I used to take Memorial Day and the military for granted. Being in a relationship with a deployed sailor and falling in love with him and realizing how much he goes through to serve our country has definitely changed the way that I look at things and I appreciate everything so much more! <3
