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 Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on November 17, 2011 at 12:16am: Helen, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost my Dad last year, he was 86 & died a painful death from pancreatic cancer. So while his death was a blessing it still hurts. I think sometimes when our parents get up there in years we don't think about it but we sort of expect that they will live forever. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I would love to meet you & I'm always up for a road trip. I live in Plainville, MA which is only one town over from the RI border. We travel to upstate NY often to visit our son, DIL, and baby granddaughter - CT would be nothing. Would you allow a mom from another state in??

Sounds like lots of moving around of everyone's children. I'm trying to learn names (yours & your child's) which is why I'm so quiet. My son left on 10/31 on a deployment to the Persian Gulf area. Not allowed to say anymore than that.

Good night new friends!

Comment by Valtameri on November 16, 2011 at 10:10pm: I live on the coast, but West Hartford area is fine.

Comment by Valtameri on November 16, 2011 at 8:12pm: Thank you. Yes, Dad had been in failing health. He was a WWII Navy vet, 90 years old!

Comment by CTmomof3 on November 16, 2011 at 8:07pm: Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Had your dad been sick? You and your family are in my thoughts.
Kyle came home on Sunday. Reports to his duty station on the 27th.
Yes a get together is in order. Hopefully better luck this time.

Comment by Valtameri on November 16, 2011 at 7:52pm: So you can see I *really* need a get-together now!

Comment by Valtameri on November 16, 2011 at 7:52pm: Hi CT,

My son was in VA for temp duty and school, now he's heading to Lemoore to meet up with his squadron. He is with us for a bit longer because my father died yesterday, so he was able to get his leave extended so he can attend the funeral.

Comment by Valtameri on November 15, 2011 at 12:42pm: I should have also said that right now, either date looks good.

Comment by Valtameri on November 15, 2011 at 12:27pm: Sounds like FUN, Donna. My son will be on deployment soon, so I'm sure I could use some Navy Mom fellowship.

Comment by Valtameri on November 2, 2011 at 6:24pm: Hi Flyers,

My son should be able to come home on leave soon, before going to his new duty station. I say should, because I have no details and I haven't heard from him in a few days, so I guess it's still on and he will call me when he needs a ride from the airport. :)

I'm sorry your son is feeling lonely and down.

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on November 2, 2011 at 4:58pm: I am so sorry your eval didn't go the way you wanted it to. I do understand that too. We have a lot in company, don't we? I'll send you a PM later. In the meantime I'll pray for you to be approved! OK?
