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 CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 15, 2013 at 10:31pm: What cathymg says is really right. My boys have never been that difficult but they were a bit harder to deal with and I think it makes all parties wanting them to grow up and transition, but It is still really hard when they leave. Could your two be dealing inside with the fact that they will not be together anymore. That is a hard one for a twin, My sam was really mad for awhile, till he joined too and they went to DEP meetings together. Then they were more sad emotional at the leaving times.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 15, 2013 at 10:28pm: Disy, if you look above the message box you will see where it says Link and then next to that is a little picture box, click on the picture box and then it will let you browse and load your picture.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 15, 2013 at 10:27pm: If you look at the top of your comment box here there are a row of icons. click the second from the left looks like a picture. Click on it, choose "from your computer"

Steve on leave

camping at Ice Lake

funny Steve on Leave rhymes.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 15, 2013 at 10:26pm: My boys have been difficult also, I just think that God prepares us for them leaving by making them miserable to be around, so we are ok when they leave. My twins will both be in Pensacola for A school. I am sure your girls will miss each other and the will always have a special bond!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 15, 2013 at 10:06pm: Disy prayers for you in the AM It helped me to spend time in his room, straightening up and collecting laundry. Smelling his smell. Did that several days. It gets better though.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 15, 2013 at 10:02pm: Sierrascrapper You would be surprised at the fire power of a destroyer. Weapons are very different these days. It is VERY armed. You can do youtube searches and see video of some of the Cruise missiles test firing. Steve sent me about 10 to watch when he got his orders, I think he was excited.

Sam hopes for a sub. A BIG sub.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 15, 2013 at 9:58pm: Disy AV will be going to school in Pensacola that is Aviation right?

Where do they go for nursing Texas?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 15, 2013 at 9:54pm: Disy Welcome to this page. WooHo our first females. My son let me know that girls are referred to as females. Yeah daughters!! There will defiantly be a lot of feelings that they both go through. When mine saw each other at Steve's PIR Steve cried and he cried again saying good bye. He was deployed before Sam's PIR. They do txt and Steve calls when he is allowed. Sam's first reaction was to for the first time deck his twin. They are fine now and Sam is Very happy so far and it has really helped him mature.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 15, 2013 at 9:48pm: 3boysmom I imagine all destroyers are that size. Steve's was commissioned in 2005 so it is newer. Where is yours stationed out of? Steve is Norfolk.

did you check out the FB link i posted. gives you a good look at one. and some of the fun they have, I hope all ships do this as it makes my life a little easier.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 15, 2013 at 9:45pm: Disy, we enjoyed sharing pictures of our twins recently and if you look through our post you will see them, we would love to see some of yours.
