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 Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on July 10, 2013 at 2:32pm: Cathymg- it is good to hear your son is alright. Not so good to look at the crunched up car though :( My boys don't have their licenses yet, but Jonathan has had a permit for a year now. Twin 1 wants one but doesn't see the urgency since he doesn't have a car. It just costs so much to get them licensed and insured these days. Oh and we only have one car, so kinda tough to share. LOL I think after they turn 18 in 3 mos, they will probably work on getting their licenses.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on July 10, 2013 at 2:26pm: CO-twin - When I saw your post about your train trip in Christian Chat, I was thinking that you will probably travel right through Reno. Will the train go straight thru or does it make stops in each town? We live in Reno, but closer to the west edge of town. I will make every effort to see if we can meet up where you are staying in N Cal.. That would be so cool!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 10, 2013 at 11:01am: Oh maybe you can join in when I come to N. Calif to visit my family. I will come right by you. Last week of Sept - Oct. 4th.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on July 10, 2013 at 7:13am: We live in Northern Nevada, about 15 min from the California border. Love it here!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 10, 2013 at 12:30am: Cathy so glad your son is OK. Hard on moms though. Sam got himself a red charger with his college money once he joined the navy. He had an 8 month dep. the only incident was he hit a porcupine. He had to get a new bumper. Oh and he backed into my car, but I have big rubber bumpers so it did nothing to mine, chipped some paint on his. Funny but his twin did not want to drive. He would ride his bike 35 miles to the next town. 10 miles to his girl friends house.
Thank you Marcy, that was helpful. You can chip in anytime.
You can also drag and drop from posts from like FB or clip art.
I look forward to see yours sierrascrapper where are you from? CA?
I will post some prenavy pics. Pics with hair.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on July 10, 2013 at 12:15am: Good job uploading pics Doubletrouble. And thank you Marcy for the instructions. I will attempt when I have an opportunity to sit at a real computer instead of my phone. I don't think I've got too many pics of them together on my phone. LOL

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 10, 2013 at 12:05am: Haha love it!!! Cute kids and - look at those curls ;)

Comment by doubletrouble on July 9, 2013 at 11:42pm: Well, ladies, you are in trouble now!! I have learned something new and am willing to abuse it!

Comment by doubletrouble on July 9, 2013 at 11:41pm: I got the profile pic!! Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom, it doesn't take much to excite me! Now I shall attempt posting to this comment:
