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 October 30, 2013 at 5:33pm: Disy has the best story, maybe we can get her to share it with you new guys.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 30, 2013 at 5:32pm: another group I am on is sharing pregnancy stories.

My twins were 1 month early and weighed in at 6LB11oz and 5LB 12oz. I was 1/2" short of being as big around as I am tall. I am short but still.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 30, 2013 at 5:25pm: Congratulations that is a great phone call to get. Have a great time friday with your new sailor, you will be amazed at the changes.

Comment by SheisaSeabee Ship11/Div420 on October 30, 2013 at 5:19pm: Whoo Hoooo!! I have a new Sailor!! PIR on Friday!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 29, 2013 at 10:31pm: I am actually not sure about the checking, I think they do but I know they both have savings. Good interest rates.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 29, 2013 at 10:30pm: Both my boys have navy federal credit union savings and checking accounts.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on October 29, 2013 at 9:52pm: CO-Twin- at one time you had said it was good to have a Navy Federal account and that it earned interest. Is this a savings account?? Gregory's needing to start a savings account and isn't sure what to do!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 29, 2013 at 8:24pm: We will have Sam for Christmas, Steve will still be out to sea for both holidays but his ship comes in in January. We will all be there for the homecoming and he will be coming home for leave then.

Comment by 3boysmom on October 29, 2013 at 8:03pm: Hi Moms,
I haven't been on here, but following what's going on. I just found out my sailor won't be home for thanksgiving, and maybe not until after Christmas. My soldier thinks he will be home for both since he's still in training. since both left after the holidays last year, this will be our first time without all of us together. My other twin is still in college, so he will definitely be here. It's all part of this military journey. I didn't ask for this life, but always support my guys.
I hope you all enjoy the holidays with as many loved ones as possible.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 29, 2013 at 7:51pm: Did any one else have someone there then? what was your experience? MariProudMom look above where a couple of us make up MadLibs to send to your recruits or sailors to fill in and share with you. You can copy them and send them to your kids.
