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 Annie on January 29, 2013 at 11:13pm: Just sent off he first care package to him,hope it arrives ok. I enjoy seeing all the pictures on facebook of all the wonderful sailors out there. My son said he likes the extra activities they do, it helps the work day! I enjoy coming on here at the end of busy or rough day and seeing new posts about something they can share about their sailor and knowing that we are all connected in one way or another as a family with all common interests, our sailors! of which we are proud of! I enjoy this! Thank you!

Comment by Lisartru97(Ship 07 Div 359) on January 29, 2013 at 1:21pm: My son told me that they had their first mail call last week and no one received anything. They all said nobody loved them, then realized they had only been gone a week. LOL! He said some of the guys were requesting my cookies so I sent some off yesterday along with some girl scout cookies and misc. items. I'm going to a neighborhood Super Bowl party on Sunday and I plan on taking a card so all my neighbors can write a little note to him. I can only imagine how exciting that must be for them to hear their name called at mail call! Have a great day Navy moms!

Comment by Annie on January 23, 2013 at 8:19pm: Wonderful stories you all are telling, I am so glad to be on this page that we all can share experiences. Thank you Amy for the update and I as well am so happy to see pictures on Facebook. It helps to feel connected to them. I am hoping to see one of my son one of these times. I was hearing from him at first for awhile and now I haven't, so Amy's explaination solved that. I know they are busy and I hope they are all doing well.

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on January 23, 2013 at 8:05pm: oh, aatlmom, I'd do the same! :-)

Comment by aatlmom on January 23, 2013 at 2:05pm: So great to stay in touch and see all the comments and updates! It helps!

My son made a recordable book for his daughter before he left. She lives close to us and is three. The book is kept at our house, so when I want to hear his voice, I can just open the book and hear him read to her. I know the book is meant for her, but it helps me too to hear his voice! :)

Comment by SailorMom59 (son deployed) on January 23, 2013 at 8:42am: Great to see pictures posted on the Facebook page! My son is in FOUR of the pictures! Wonderful to see his face! To know he's doing good! :-)
