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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 30, 2012 at 4:55pm: missmygirl, don't worry! There will loads of "dorks" there exactly like you. We have even moms on here who painted their toenails red, white & blue.

Love the dogs, so cute!

Comment by missmygirl(ship12/Div121) on March 30, 2012 at 2:53pm: JessicaB and seabreeze, thank you for the input, ladies on here have great ideas and very supportive. I am so excited, I went out and bought a red white and blue bag to carry....lol, she is going to think I am such a dork...now you guys know how to spot me! (dorky mom w/the rwb big bag!) I cried twice on my way into work today thinking about how proud I am of her and what it will be like to see her!

seabreeze, I will pray for success for your SR!

Comment by diannep on March 30, 2012 at 12:29pm: Too funny on trading the daughter for the pup, NJNavyMom! Those pups are adorable, aren't they? Hard to resist a pup!

missmygirl: I agree with Jessica....you can actually wear the tshirt to the MeetNGreet too if you like. Some like to dress up a bit more for PIR (nice casual)...others are just casual, some are very fancy, and others...well, they apparently just got "partially" dressed...and obviously in the dark! HA! Long way of saying...dress comfortably...especially shoes (some walking involved)...but remember...your sailors will be in their Navy finest....! They will be so sharp looking! :-)

seabreeze: The adrenaline is flowing in that last PFA and they are rooting for each other...and remember...he will be in much better shape by now...so here's praying and hoping that "it's all good!"

Comment by missmygirl(ship12/Div121) on March 30, 2012 at 10:58am: Sorry, I should have said Grad date 4/13;) Coming up!

Comment by missmygirl(ship12/Div121) on March 30, 2012 at 10:58am: Is anyone wearing a US Navy RTC Grad tee to the graduation? I can't decide if I should dress up or where my my tee with white jeans? Also, does anyone know if a family can print more than one gate pass for cars? Ship12/Div 121

Comment by NJ Navy Mom Ship 03 Div 115 on March 30, 2012 at 10:32am: If my daughter didn't have asthma I would be begging for one of those pups. Hey would you like to trade a 23 yr old daughter for a newborn pup??? I'll throw in whatever cash you think would make it a fair trade!!

Comment by BobbysMomSH#04--DIV#119 on March 30, 2012 at 10:29am: YES!!!! Thank the Lord.

Comment by Rla1164 on March 30, 2012 at 9:54am: Good morning everyone. 115/116 & 117/118 are on 6-1. Nearing the end of their journey. I believe today may be their final PFA. So I am sending strength to all of them to pass this test. In 2 Friday's we will be waiting to see them!

Comment by Bob's mom on March 30, 2012 at 8:50am: Oh, what a life! Sleep, eat, eat, sleep!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 30, 2012 at 8:13am: TeacherMom, you are right about the Thursday before PIR, I didn't sleep one wink. I don't know how I functioned at all that day. I guess is was pure adrenaline.

Good Morning Dianne and Lala. Have a good day at school Lala. I'll be MIA this morning, but back later today.
