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 DeniseR on December 19, 2011 at 2:45pm: Oh Lin, I sure hope your information is incorrect. My son's family is really hoping he will be home. Let's hope for the best!

Comment by danagagirl on December 18, 2011 at 8:23am: Thank you Lin... I am so excited that R is home and glad he will only be an hour away. I talked to him about adding me to the ombudsman list since he is a single guy.. he said he already knew and was going to :)

Comment by DeniseR on December 17, 2011 at 1:37pm: Good Morning to all of you Alaska people, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. I have been off line for about a month since I have been in Louisville, Ky taking care of a very sick Mother. When I returned home my computer had been hacked, so I am just now getting back on line. I hope none of you got any strange emails from me. Many of my friends did.

I, too, hope our guys get back for Christmas; I would love to hear my son's voice, and I am sure his family would like to have him home for the holidays.

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Comment by danagagirl on December 17, 2011 at 8:59am: There hasn't been anyone posting..are there still families on here or have they migrated somewhere else. My son is due to report January 2, and would love a support system. Thanks

Comment by danagagirl on November 23, 2011 at 7:04am: Happy Thanksgiving to all the fellow sub families...Lin - mine too will be more quiet than normal...Child #1 is in Ga, Child #2 is Groton and Child #3 is Pensacola :(

At least you won't hear me complaining about leftovers..lol

Blessings to all!

Comment by DeniseR on November 22, 2011 at 2:18pm: Dear Lin ( Winston's Moms), I am happy to hear that you will not be alone. I hope the day is a wonderful for you.

I do hope our guys will get our messages also.

Comment by DeniseR on November 22, 2011 at 12:43pm: Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. May it be a blessed time for all of you and for our sub guys and their families.

Comment by danagagirl on November 15, 2011 at 7:25pm: Lin - you were all over the state ! lol

He didn't really want to be a culinary specialist, but it was either that or a paper pusher, and that wasn't he thing either.. He is making the best of it and said he has learned a lot. He is hoping to change it after the 20 months.. just keeping positive for him :)
