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 Sharpie's Mom on March 10, 2013 at 3:44pm: Actually, do you know of a good bakery. My daughter's 21 birthday is the 17th & would love to get her a nice cake!

Comment by spyder013 on March 10, 2013 at 12:14pm: I agree our ombudsman x 2 have been fantastic.
Glad u get to see kids...sucks that they are injured but awesome that they are here. Wish rest were home.:(

Comment by Sharpie's Mom on March 10, 2013 at 12:03pm: Good morning all. Spyder013, I'm glad you got an email & I hope he remembers to check in a little more often/when he can. Tmon how's your son healing. I heard he had his surgery. I'm on my way up to see my daughter this week, maybe I will get to meet him! He & my daughter are pretty good friends and I am not happy either of them are "broken" as she puts it, but glad they have each other to hang around with. Also want to extend a huge thankyou to our ombudsmen. Erica has been helping me with a few things and I am very very thankful for her. :) Have a fantastic day everyone!!

Comment by Tmon on March 10, 2013 at 11:26am: joirenee, I do sympathize. After I contacted the Ombudsman, I received numerous emails. Apparently, he was asked often if he had emailed his mother. He, too, was angry, but he quickly got over it. For my son, I think he was overwhelmed and hadn't figured out how to fit it in. Anyway. Hang in there. He will get better.

Comment by spyder013 on March 10, 2013 at 8:35am: Glad he emailed and yes, bet he does it a little more often. :). I definitely think those of us with daughters hear more frequently. And I agree also they are not the happiest right now. Hopefully things get better soon for all of them and us 2.
