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 Micaela (AO Wife) on August 19, 2011 at 12:28pm: Oh my that video made me cry like a baby! lol

1stlove: make sure u dont watch that today! lol I know we will be okay once we receive our letters and we find out everything is going just fine :)

Comment by diannep on August 19, 2011 at 12:26pm: So sorry you are struggling today...1stlove. It is such an emotional journey for the SRs and you all too. Maybe you can take a break to the ladies room, let it out for a while, and feel better?? Hope that maybe there will be a letter for you today to help with those tears!

Comment by 1stlove (02/946) on August 19, 2011 at 12:22pm: today is a little hard for me ladies.........at work holding in tears....cause I will not be able to turn the faucet off if it starts. I should have taken a few extra minutes in shower this AM and cried it out...........have a blessed weekend everyone......praying for all of us and our SR's

Comment by desireenavygf (Ship 11 DIV 322) on August 19, 2011 at 12:12pm: Thanks diannep someone has to love our military men.. I try my best to be a good support for him and I know I can do it because I have a good support system behind me with all you ladies. We all have a good and bad days and it nice to have women to lean on when we need it most. I love this site and just like you ladies said this is my fix as well lol.

Comment by diannep on August 19, 2011 at 11:54am: Welcome back, Betsy! Glad you are back to your "fix"...ok, to "our" fix! I admit it!

:-)

Comment by diannep on August 19, 2011 at 11:53am: Amen, Desiree! You sound like you will be a wonderful Navy wife!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 19, 2011 at 11:06am: desireenavygf, I saw this video on one of the PIR groups and I sent it to my son, who is in A school. I told him that it's one of the many reasons that I love him, and that he is destined for great things in his life. Your sailor is so lucky to have you by his side. The video, to me, just confirms why our Navy men/women are to be admired. My hope is that each of them are fortunate to have a supportive and strong gf/wife/mom/family right there with them.

Lala, I understand how frustrating it is with computer problems. I was offline yesterday, most of the day, and by last night I was going through Navy4Moms withdrawals symptoms. lol

Comment by desireenavygf (Ship 11 DIV 322) on August 19, 2011 at 10:32am: Thanks ladies for the support trust me I know it takes a strong women to stand next to a military man althought I come on here and vent to you ladies I do write my sr and tell him I am backing him up 100%. I also make sure to tell him I am so rpoud of him and love and miss him. There's no doubt in my mind that I will make it through this its just sometimes I wonder if I am the only who gets these mix emotions. BC so far has an been an emotional roller coaster for me. But I love my sr and I plan on stay by his side through thick and thin. And no his mom is not part of the site she never fully wrapped her mind around him going and never really supported the idea. Althought I knew it would be hard I still supported him because I knew this was something he really wanted to do. Thanks again ladies.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 19, 2011 at 9:23am: desiree- it takes a very strong man to do the job your guy is doing. How proud you must be of him and his family must be as well. Is his mom on this site too? If you decide to order ribbons be sure and let me know he is the religious PO when you place the order. I normally add a really cool cross to the ribbons and it looks really good on them. :-)

I hope everyone is having an awesome day. I haven't been on here as much in the evening the last couple of days because our home computer has crashed and everyone in the house "needs" to use my computer in the evenings lol. So I ordered a new computer last night lol. I am not good at sharing my computer haha.

Comment by aggiemom (Corpsman A School) on August 19, 2011 at 8:18am: No letter again last night - but my son in in 946 so maybe that's why. Seems like none of the 900 moms have gotten letters yet. Maybe next week?! I hope so.
