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 ArNavyMom on November 22, 2011 at 8:33am: Love that Momsdivided. I caught my self inhaling and exhaling.

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on November 22, 2011 at 8:20am: Praying that everyone has a blessed day. Busy at will be and hectic as the next few days will become I am going to try and take a few moments and just remember to breathe. I write that to my SR all the time ( & have said it to both my kiddos many many times) If you take a moment and breathe- really breathe- then you are focusing and focused breathing gives energy and energy breeds success! It always seemed to calm them down and redirect stress! Me too for that matter! So ladies of the site and all the moms, gf and such on the next comeing days just BREATHE! THANKSGIVING IS UPON US- READY OR NOT!

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Comment by ArNavyMom on November 22, 2011 at 7:49am: Good morning! Everyone - have a terrific Tuesday.

@ FTLW - 25 years?! That is awesome!!! I was so touched in my son's first letter to us, he thanked us for providing a stable home life as a lot of the kids he's met in GL didn't have that. I will note that we do have two older son's (22 and 24) as I was blessed to be their "other mom" when I married my husband. So, we did have somewhat of a blended family. Not even close to perfect but we love each other unconditionally!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 21, 2011 at 11:13pm: I meant "home from "A"school".

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 21, 2011 at 11:12pm: ArNavyMom - Me too. 25 years married...31 together. The man should be sainted. This time last year we were getting to send him off to Iraq. Sailor son will be home in December. It's all good.

Comment by diannep on November 21, 2011 at 9:31pm: Sorry, ArNavyMom. Meant to address that to AZ! Thanks for directing here there!

Comment by ArNavyMom on November 21, 2011 at 6:40pm: @ AZ - see post below as an example for looking for your recruits bunkmates family. Sure thankful for the veteran's on this site!

@ Diannep - love the blessings!

Comment by diannep on November 21, 2011 at 4:59pm: ...well....that is, if your SR told you where this bunkmate was from!

Comment by diannep on November 21, 2011 at 4:58pm: ArNavyMom: What you can do is post on here that your SR's friend lives in ______...and ask if his family is on here...ask them to message you if they are and you can exchange info by private message on here. That is allowed!

My blessings? They are many! Yes, sometimes they get "buried" in the busy-ness and problems of the day....but when on my peaceful morning walks with my pups, my mind is clear, the day is still in darkness with light beginning, and there is peace...so I thank Him then for so many blessings! AMEN!

Comment by ArNavyMom on November 21, 2011 at 2:04pm: You bet. I did the same thing a while back...before I knew not to. Been there...done that...is so cliche! lol

@ ALL - Good day to you and your recruit! What are you thankful for today? Me? Thankful for my husband (of 20 years!) and for a healthy, strong, and committed SR.
