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."

Also, my son called this morning. He's doing great and in great spirits! The Nimitz Strike Group got some news time yesterday on NBC Nightly News? Did anyone else catch it?

Comment by spyder013 on September 7, 2013 at 10:07am: Nope...nada! But keep the faith...we will; ). Just stay positive and they will be home soon!

Comment by spyder013 on September 6, 2013 at 10:12pm: Wowsers. ..I sure hope they get mail soon! Added stress is not needed by any of them.

Comment by spyder013 on September 6, 2013 at 7:23am: Extra prayers going out! Glad she sounded ok though. Anything special you could send her foodwise? Maybe some of others have stuff that she can eat? I don't know anything about the disease but will look into it and see if anything I just sent daughter would work. I just hope they get mail somehow. ..its been awhile.

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on September 5, 2013 at 6:27am: This was on my facebook page. For anyone who is not on the email list for the Shoup's Ombudsman:

Good Evening Shoup Fam!

We have had a few people requesting info that weren't receiving emails. We want to make sure that everyone is up to speed with what is going on and that you all are getting emails from the Ombudsmans as well as the FRG. If you are not receiving any, please be sure to email shoupombudsman@yahoo.com and shoupfrg@gmail.com to be verified if needed and added to the email rosters.

Thank you.

Comment by spyder013 on September 4, 2013 at 12:57pm: Yep I agree. Anything we can do to boost moods/morale would be great so going to see if anything catches my eye at store that might be temporary stress reliever.

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on September 4, 2013 at 12:38pm: Well, I better get a care package ready ASAP. She sounded a little down in her last email. I bet they are all so ready to come home!
