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."

Welcome families and friends of Salilor Recruits with PIR THURSDAY, December 29, 2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK MEOPSECandCOMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 5, 2011 at 3:28pm: I will be off most of the day too...will check in and read and then probably be an "elf" later on!

Betsy...praying for hubby! Mine will be traveling the next two days also so we can keep each others hubby's in prayers...my son too!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 5, 2011 at 3:25pm: Well...I was vascillating on which video to use today...I am fighting a "humbug" mood as followed up my stomach thing with a small cold. Sons Horse has a bad case of hives (it is seasonal with her...fall/winter...last year she was REAL bad...scary) so giving her dex shots...and to top it off one of our dogs had to have exploratory surgery AGAIN for eating something he couldn't pass! He survived but I am not sure we will 'cuz y'all KNOW how much that costs$!. So, I was going to do "The Grinch" but I think I will wait on that for just plain 'ol fun and play something from my dear hubby's favorite movie, "Scrooge"(If you have not seen the Albert Finney musical version, try too! It is the best Christmas Carol one)...because,

GUESS WHAT? We have a Seabee! Hubby is flying out to see him graduate. He didn't get to go to PIR as he was in Iraq...and we can only afford one of us to go, so I thought it best for him to go. They have not seen each other in a year! It's been six months for me and his bros since PIR. (Again, sooooo thankful for those extra days of liberty!) I am so proud and thankful...so here it is because NOTHING can really steal our Joy!

Comment by ArNavyMom on December 5, 2011 at 3:15pm: @ Betsy - Consider prayer petitioned for travel grace for your husband...to and from Mexico.

Good morning all and FTLW! Love the pictures. My aunt/uncle raise and train border collies. In fact, I was at there house over in Oklahoma this past Friday and Saturday. I LOVE ALL THEIR DOGS! Ellie and Chance are my favorites. (they're old!)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 5, 2011 at 3:09pm: Good Morning!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 5, 2011 at 2:01pm: Natalies, Mom. I agree and think that she will do just fine. I wouldn't worry.

Can everyone please keep my husband in your prayers today? He is flying into New Mexico today for work and my kids who live there, just told me that they have about 6 inches of snow on the ground right now. I'm praying for a safe flight and arrival. It's crazy, because at home in Maryland, our forecast is for 59 degrees today

Comment by ArNavyMom on December 5, 2011 at 12:58pm: @ nataliesmom - she has had GREAT improvement and she will continue to do so. she will be writing or calling soon to let you know how well she is really doing! ((hugs))
