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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 11, 2012 at 9:15am: lol mamabeans, so funny, I did the same thing from our cat.

The letter to my Sailor from our cat was hilarious. Our cat is huge and needs to loose some weight and when our Sailor was home she was in charge of feeding him. She kept the bowl full all the time. I talked to the vet and had "special" food and was measuring out what he could have twice a day. The cat "Shadow" was not happy with his rations and kept going to my Sailors bedroom door begging for food. So the letter told her that since she left we have been starving him to death and we don't understand his needs and she needs to get back here or at least talk some sense into us. He went on to say that he knew she was all grown up and needed to spread her wings like "Charlie" (our bird) but he couldn't understand why she left him behind with people who don't understand his needs. And, he knows how much she loves shoes but did she really need to go to camp just to get some boots? They do sell those at the mall right? lmao it was the funniest letter and she loved it hahaha

Comment by prdmomfrmnaples on March 11, 2012 at 9:11am: Oh ... Mamabeans, that was soooo funny, I know that will make him chukle and smile! We have 4 dogs so I know my SR is missing them! Hope he shares the letter with mine, he'd get a real kick out of that, all I've sent are pictures.

Comment by shermur (ship 12 div 121) on March 11, 2012 at 9:08am: Oh, mambeans...that is hilarious that the dogs write to your son! Classic....I'm so sure that will brighten his day...let us know his response! LOL

Comment by littleone68 on March 11, 2012 at 8:16am: luckily my SR's gf is a delightful young lady and made sure to let me know as soon as they hung up. i am sure she will call when she gets back to school and relay his whole letter - well, except any mushy stuff LOL she is coming with us for PIR

Comment by littleone68 on March 11, 2012 at 8:09am: @stephensgirl - you sounds like such a lovely young lady and i am looking forward to meeting you :-) hopefully all our "boys" will be able to find a balance between calling/writing moms and gf both :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 11, 2012 at 2:57am: Almost forgot...I added a MARLINSPIKE discussion up top. Your SR's probably just did this.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 11, 2012 at 2:55am: Been reading today...I don't always get on as much on the weekend...family time ;-)

Y'all have been a joyful "read" today.

Good night!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 11, 2012 at 2:52am: mamabeans - Too funny! I hope he enjoys it!!!

Comment by evanzmom (ship 03 div 117) on March 11, 2012 at 2:21am: Mamabeans....LOL...that really cracked me up and I know your son will laugh and maybe have a tear in his eye, but he'll love it!

Stephen's Girl - I agree you seem like a sweetheart of a girl that any mom would love to have in her son's life. Whatever impression we give, it's only because we want our sons to be loved and be happy!

Proudmom - thanks for your comments, and I'm so amazed too! I was so nervous about my SR being able to adapt. Everyone tells you they will be fine and grow into themselves, but still we worry :)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Comment by mamabeans on March 11, 2012 at 12:44am: HA HA HA... had to share... I wrote a letter from the dogs today. I wrote it with my left hand, bad grammar and spelled a lot incorrect. It was sooo much fun to do!!!
