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 DCT MOM on September 14, 2010 at 3:57pm: I havent heard form Dustin either. I saw the Motomail in yesterdays Summit. Iwas wondering if anyone has tried it. I have mailed Dustin 2 letters. Great info about putting the Chaplin on a box if you not sure of the addy. i hope i have Dustins right. He is in Avation with the HSC-22 Squadren.

NavyMom2010 Hope you hear from your sailor soon.!!!! i know how you feel i am starting to get worried.

Does anyone know the time difference there.

Comment by DCT MOM on September 14, 2010 at 2:06am: Good Evening Ladies, I was just browzing on face book and found the Marines that are on the ship are already in Pakastan. They have a FB page and there is some photos from the 11th of Sept. They are delivering flour. The page is called 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. It has got some other photos of the ship on there also.

Comment by DCT MOM on September 13, 2010 at 8:36pm: yeah the NEX didnt have any Kearsarge items when we were there in Aug. They must have got the hats in because they didnt have them when we were there.

I have heard from other sailors that their sponsors werent much help to them either.

Comment by DCT MOM on September 13, 2010 at 10:30am: Hello Ladies, Cheryl hope you are felling better. He should have a sponsor, i think they all get sponsor. Dustins meet him at the airport and took him to the base. Just hang in there, were here if you kneed us i wish we were all closer to each other so we could get together.

Nine weeks that is a long time for a package. Hope they get them sooner on the ship.

Looking forward to getting the t-shirts and sweatshirts. i got a Navy hoodie and jogging pants while i was in Norfolk. They are really nice . They had a lot of nice things at the NEX

Hope everyone has a great week, Mine has sarted out great i have Monday and Tuesday off.

Comment by DCT MOM on September 12, 2010 at 11:01pm: Sissi so glad that you heard from Alex!!! Still havent heard anything from Dustin. Hope all the Sailor are feeling better.

Comment by jkl2z7 on September 12, 2010 at 8:43pm: Polli, My son Robert is in the Medical Dept. How awesome it is to know someone else that has someone in the same dept. My son told me the same thing. This is his second deployment and he says there is nothing to be worried about. He says there are some beautiful places to see.

Comment by jkl2z7 on September 12, 2010 at 8:19pm: Sissi I am so excited for you that your son called you, now I will too answer any unknown number hoping and waiting for Robert to call me. I miss him so much. I am happy that you got to talk to Alex. Have a Great Day ladies!

Comment by jkl2z7 on September 12, 2010 at 10:56am: Ladies,some good news. I recieved an email from FRG. They are hoping to have a shirt design for us by next month. I am so hopeful that we will have something really nice. I didnt know what it stood for either. Thanks for letting me know what it stood for too. Still praying for our guys/gals on board. Have a great day
