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 CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 6, 2013 at 10:28am: I certainly will keep Jonathan in prayer today. Burr it is 6* here right now.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on November 6, 2013 at 9:02am: Welcome to our new members. I have identical twin boys. Nathanael (Twin 1) and Jonathan (Twin 2). Only one of my boys is going into the Navy. He leaves July 1, only two weeks after graduation from HS. Nathanael ifs planning to go to college. After getting some real numbers on the cost of college, I wish Twin 1was going military too. He has no desire. Also, he says he wants to stay closer to us since his brother will be so far away and gone for so long. We will just have to take one step at a time, pray a lot, and put in TONS of scholarship apps.

Shelley... My husband is also an identical twin. His Mom didn't know she was having twins either. His name is Bryan also. I hope you get a chance to hear your SRs voice soon. When does he have PIR?

Jonathan is getting his wisdom teeth out today. Please keep him in your prayers that all goes well and easy.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 6, 2013 at 6:50am: Welcome to the group. You did not know ahead? Boy I bet that was a happy surprise. Didn't you get really big I got humongous. My only surprise was I had been told I was having boy/girl twins. Had baby a named Hannah Christine, as it took me so long to have kids, so I just switched the name to Samuel, Hannah's sons name.

Comment by Shellbell2000us@yahoo.com on November 6, 2013 at 2:00am: You asked for funny birth stories so here is mine...my twins were born in 1994 and I didn't know I was having twins until the first one was delivered. I always tell them they are 15 minutes apart because I was arguing with the dr.I have not gotten to speak to brian yet. I keep missing his calls. brett is still here . I know we all miss brian but not as much as we are proud of him. Brett is not leaving until march.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 6, 2013 at 12:50am: Double trouble what kind of business are you starting?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 6, 2013 at 12:31am: Twin Sam home for Christmas, Twin Stephen home from deployment in January.
I made hotel registration for PIR At the Navy lodge as soon as I had a Date then held my breath for the "I am a sailor call"

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 6, 2013 at 12:28am: Miss all the interaction, just answering occasional questions now or occasional interact with just a couple of you. Feels like talking to myself a little. Don't mean to sound whiny. I have been busy closing down my business. I have to be all done in a month and a half.
Then it is to work on sprucing up the house to list it for sale so I can go to school.

Comment by doubletrouble on November 5, 2013 at 10:14pm: 3boys, that's exactly me! I read all the posts & comment sometimes, but just don't always have time. I am trying to get a business off the ground & work a full time job. So co-twin, please don't take my silence as disinterest, just busy.
Hope everyone is good and all our sailors are AWESOME!

Comment by 3boysmom on November 5, 2013 at 9:21pm: Ço-twin, many are probably like me. Following along with the posts happily, but without much time to reply. I hope all are well and our sailors are happy and healthy!
