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 Taylorsugarb on October 26, 2011 at 2:42am: Sounds like they are busy this last little part of deployment. We did talk with our daughter on 22 Oct she called for her dad's birthday. She said she is excited that they are almost done. Unfortunately I wont be able to be at the homecoming. It breaks my heart and I tear up thinking about it. We cant afford it this time around. So please anyone going if you could pay attention and make sure when Taylor comes off the ship she is given a big hug.... I really appreciate it! I can not bear the thought of no one giving her a hug....

I cant wait for her to come home at Christmas.

I hope you all are doing well. Take Care! April

Comment by ChelseaBelle'sMom on October 25, 2011 at 9:09pm: Patty J...Thank you much for the info! I will check it out! That's awesome you and your husband are attending the homecoming! I know I haven't seen my daughter since February. This is the longest we have ever been away from each other! If your Son has a brand new baby that means you're Gramma..Congrats!!! what a special time!

Comment by JIC on October 25, 2011 at 8:24pm: I too will miss the homecoming. :( My sister is flying my son home for Christmas. I am so excited to be able to see him. They must be pretty busy on the ship over the last week because my son has not e-mail more than a paragraph or two since they set sail again. For those going to the homecoming give all our sons & daughters a warm welcome home & let them know they are well loved. Lots of pics please!!!!!!

Comment by ChelseaBelle'sMom on October 25, 2011 at 10:38am: I for one am getting excited! I keep reading something about a Hopper newsletter? can someone tell me how to get signed up for that?..it would be an awesome sight to see the homecoming!

Comment by Amy on October 25, 2011 at 12:17am: @ dillons mom, I know this household is getting very excited. They will man the rails in their whites! A beautiful sight I must say!

Comment by JIC on September 26, 2011 at 10:12pm: @ Dillons Mom, sorry I didn't get back to you right away. I have been dealing with a family member who is ill so I have not been on here lately. I spoke to my son & he said he had not met anyone new to the ship because with him being so new to the ship everyone is new to him lol! I hope you have heard from him & all is well. I know they keep them very busy with classes & qualifications. My son is loving it so I am sure Dillon is as well.

Comment by Taylorsugarb on September 26, 2011 at 3:12pm: hope all is going well with everyone. We are doing ok. Have a good day!

Comment by KFrascona on September 18, 2011 at 4:13pm: Dillons mom my husband is in the group of four with your son I think they got to the ship ok. There was a delay last night but I think they should be there by now.

Comment by JIC on September 18, 2011 at 1:05pm: @ Dillons mom. I will ask my son. I hear from him pretty much daily.

Comment by KFrascona on September 12, 2011 at 3:34pm: Hi ladys, I was wondering if any of you wives have lived in the catlin park area. My two sons and i will be moving into a house in that area at the end of the month. With my husband being gone we took a house blindly in that area only going off pictures we have seen online. If so do you like it? Any compliants and are the inside of the houses nice.
