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."

I can now spend quality time with him while he is on leave. Tmon I hope you hear from you son soon. I really don't think that they know how important it is to call their parents. He is probably just busy on duty. Hang in there!

Comment by Tmon on March 31, 2011 at 8:04pm: I haven't heard from my guy yet. I bet it was amazing to be there. Thanks for trying.

Comment by BigSis on March 31, 2011 at 10:23am: LOL!!!! How funny! the online photos I've seen were amazing - what a great welcome home!

Comment by eriksmom on March 31, 2011 at 10:13am: I asked Erik and 8 of his friends if they knew Aaron, Sean or Lauren so I coiuld give them hugs for you. They all looked at me like I was stupid and said, "What is their last name?" Apparently they only know last names and nicknames. I should have known....Sorry everyone - but I did try!!

Comment by Tmon on March 26, 2011 at 11:35pm: NavyMom10. You are the best. I will tell Aaron to look for you. Thanks.

Comment by BigSis on March 26, 2011 at 8:14pm: You roick. Thanks for doing that.

Comment by Seans Mom on March 26, 2011 at 5:23pm: If you meet a Sean from California please give him a big hug and tell him we have missed him. Thanks!

Comment by BigSis on March 26, 2011 at 5:10pm: Please look for my sister (Lauren). Both our parents died last year and I can't make it there from Virginia. Would love pix of her and for you to send my love to her! Much thanks, Tammi

Comment by rjrx2k on March 26, 2011 at 5:02pm: Off we go!! Hope the weather holds. Can't wait to hug my sailor!!

Hope we get to meet a few Shoup Mom's. Have a safe trip to those of you who are planning to see our Shoup sailors pull in.

Comment by Seans Mom on March 26, 2011 at 3:56pm: Wish we could be there for the homecoming...At least he will be home on leave soon. Planning a big "Welcome Home" celebration with family and friends! Am so looking forward to spending time with him.
