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 HisSupportSystem! on June 9, 2011 at 4:59pm: Oh wow I am so sorry about the number, I never really call her I always email her and always get a prompt response. I really hope she responds back to you soon. Take care and I hope your son is doing well out there. :)

Comment by ChrisyDVM(Chris'sMom) on June 9, 2011 at 4:56pm: Thank you so much. I sent you a message, but just noticed the phone # you sent is the same one I tried that says it's been disconnected or no longer in service! I will definitely email her so thanks a bunch!

Comment by HisSupportSystem! on June 9, 2011 at 4:35pm: Hi ChrisyDVM. Please check your messages I have sent you the update information for the ombudsman. I really hope it helps out.

Take care :)

Comment by ChrisyDVM(Chris'sMom) on June 9, 2011 at 4:03pm: Hey does anyone have a valid phone # or email address for the Ramage ombudsman? The # I have for the Careline has last year's message recorded 1/11/10, the cell phone # 757-513-2391 says it's been changed, disconnected, etc and I didn't get a response from the email address I had for Naomi Wetterstrom. I called the 757-301-9078 listed above also and left a messasge, but not sure that was the correct # either.

Comment by ChrisyDVM(Chris'sMom) on June 2, 2011 at 10:52pm: Hi Ramage moms! My son graduated/commissioned May 8, 2010 from Miami Univ in Oxfordl, OH and this is his 1st deployment! Visited with him 3 wks before he left..so hard to say goodbye. Would love to hear from ya all. Chris is single and it seems the parents aren't really kept in the loop or have an organized support system like spouses do, so I'm really glad to have found this group. This website has been a valuable source of info! Chris is a SWO. I'm praying daily for all of our sons!

Comment by Brianna54 on May 20, 2011 at 6:03pm: hey *his supportsystem* u can email me! I'd love to talk! Brianna54@live.com

Comment by HisSupportSystem! on May 20, 2011 at 5:44pm: Saying a prayer and knowing that everything and all of our men will be safe and return home to us safely and in one piece. This is the first deployment in over 10 years that we have gone through together. If anyone needs to talk they can send me a friend invite through here if they wish. But I will keep the whole Ramage family (spouses, sailors, and children in my prayers). Be Blessed all.
