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 Joann (Ship 11 Div./299-PIR 9/2) on September 13, 2010 at 11:50am: Hello Wisconsin moms! My son is stationed in Virginia.

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 10, 2010 at 12:48pm: Does this group plan any meet & greets just for us WI moms? Maybe a packer game day or something?

Comment by Rhonda(EMmom) on September 6, 2010 at 9:22pm: Well the Rentz went out on her trial run after being in dry dock for several months, all good! She's ready for a long deployment. It was the first time my son has ever been on a ship and he loved it. He said it was alot of hard work but I think what he experienced out weighed all of that. Never did get sick, maybe he will be one of the lucky ones. We will see when the seas get rough! Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on September 5, 2010 at 1:29pm: TerriE - I work in the billing/insurance department but had shoulder surgery in Feb so I had some o/t sessions before i had the surgery.
We didnt really have any issues with the hurricane while I was in SC. There were just warings for the beachs & water-riptides to be careful. However the beach we were going to had alot washed away and some of the parking lot washed away. Needless to say we didnt get to the beach.
Seems cold back here in WI since we had 90's everyday:)

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on September 1, 2010 at 11:01am: Denise & TerriE - I live in Elk Mound and work at Midelfort Clinic. Lunches are hard for me but I too have a rather free schedule most of the time at night or on weekends.
We are in SC for power school graduation.

Comment by Jan on August 31, 2010 at 8:23pm: to all you moms say a little prayer for our sons and daughters on the east coast that all will be well this weekend with the hurricane bearing down. thanks

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on August 30, 2010 at 10:01pm: Denise, yeah I watched the band for a couple of hours then had to bring Katy to work. Actually I take pictures for the band and help with some marketing so thats always fun, they are really good! The couple of beers i had tasted good to since it was so hot.

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on August 28, 2010 at 7:29pm: Denise, it was nice meeting you today, hopefully we can do a local NavyMoms get together sometime.

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on August 27, 2010 at 12:22pm: Denise - i will look for you at Festival in the Pines, I go every year and my friend plays in the band on Saturday at 2pm. Crowdedheads.
