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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 9, 2011 at 5:57pm: Hello Folks!

Well…our Seabee son is home! Hubby flew out to watch the ceremony and bring him home. I was able to book hubby on the same flight as our son. Both my men are reservists. He wasn’t able to go to PIR as he was in Iraq. I am thankful he was able to go to “A” school grad…it was a very nice ceremony and he wore his dress uniform (AF).

The graduation was on Pearl Harbor Day. (Ironically, that was the result of the formation of the Seabees…civilian contractors had been used to build up until the U.S. officially entered the war.) Then they flew home that day. He had to report to his duty station the next day so they just drove out and spent the night there. He is now tucked away on the couch with his favorite dog (who is VERY happy to see him) and relaxing.

It’s been eight months since he left for Boot Camp...so thankful he finished and finished well…his whole class made honor student.

Here is a drawing my other son did for a poster we made for him…(yeah it’s an M-16 not a Thompson…but when he did a search on his iPad I think he got a really old picture of a Seabee! LOL)

Comment by elizabeth on December 6, 2011 at 9:29pm: cozymom, Oh, I wish I had known you were there we could have met. I was there the morning of the 26th. I don't know how to knit, not sure I have the patience for it. There sure were some nice scarves being sent.

Comment by cozymom on December 6, 2011 at 6:18pm: My husband and I volunteered at Operation Gratitude on the 26th. What a great day. Elizabeth, my husband was working next to the gentleman who comes in with his family from New York. What a great thing to do. This year I want to take up knitting to be able to make scarves for next time!
