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."

I wanted to ask about this topic as it has a deep impact on how twins relate to each other. This will be good future reference for other Navy Twin Moms as their sons leave for BC. I only have one…Continue

Comment by doubletrouble on August 13, 2013 at 10:10pm: I know co-twin, but I wanted him to keep his ears open just in case, you never know. God has smiled on our little family many, many times so I don't ever count him ouy! My husband survived leukemia 8 yrs ago, then surgery for a brain aneurysm 1 yr ago, so I always look for the best, most possible outcome & them having the same PIR date is it!
I think private on the cheat sheet.
Oh man, Jacob's plane didn't board until 7:45! Their original time was 5:05!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 13, 2013 at 9:54pm: TwinSailorsMom Have you joined Nuke moms yet? they are having a contest to guess when members will hit 2100 and they are at 2097 now you could bring it up to 2099!!

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on August 13, 2013 at 9:29pm: So much going on tonight.

Twinsailorsmom, How exciting and I love the pictures, I requested you as a frined on FB, I was only able to see you cover photo and profile picture, but they were real good, they sure do look identical, the glasses is the only difference, What advice do you have for us after just being there and going through PIR??

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 13, 2013 at 9:29pm: TwinSailorsmom I could meet up with you when I come to California. You are not far from Eureka right? My Brother lives there. I will be staying by Fort Bragg.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 13, 2013 at 9:23pm: The only way that would work is if Darien was in a push Division and Jacobs filled it. Would mean Darien was on hold for a week and Jacob would have one week less to train.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 13, 2013 at 9:22pm: doubletrouble, I don't think one can try to get in a push division it just depends if they don't have enough to fill a division and have to wait for more to fill it. So most likely it would be later not earlier.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 13, 2013 at 9:04pm: Sam got his contacts once he got to A School in S. Carolina. He just went and got some I am not sure where, He wanted the extended wear ones as the class times for nukes is VERY long. He also thought BC was a piece of cake.

Comment by 3boysmom on August 13, 2013 at 8:22pm: TwinSailorsMom - congratulations. It sounds like you had a wonderful time. Something for some of the other moms to look forward to. It's such a moving ceremony, and so much pride in that hall!!

Comment by doubletrouble on August 13, 2013 at 7:56pm: Oh, twinsailorsmom, they look awesome! I lobe all the pics! And I want to come for that visit with disy! I too have so many questions.
Well, I've been texting Jacob all day, his flight from Dallas to Chicago was delayed about 2 hours for weather. Last time he updated me they were set for 6:30 take off. I think I'm in for a long night this time.
I GOT DARIEN'S KID IN A BOX BOX TODAY! So excited for dirty clothes!
All day I've been reminding Jacob if he hears anything about a push division to try to get in it. That way he might be able to PIR with his twin. Say prayer.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 13, 2013 at 6:19pm: Am working on a cheat sheet I will post for correction tomorrow OK. I am not to sure if it should be kept private, if there is too much info for public view.
