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've been trying to post the last couple days...but my stupid phone is giving me fits and knocks me off right in the middle of my posts. So...it's Ben hard to convey my thoughts.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 3, 2013 at 1:25am: Haven't had Internet for days. No way I can catch up. New mom's welcome. Had my family B'day celebration today in Chico. Caught a cold at IKEA getting better didn't slow me down to badly. Sam called. He is bummed out by his classmates death. He just talked to these guys before that evening. So sad I find it hard to understand why boys need to race. Hope Sam thinks twice before he gets a motorcycle.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 3, 2013 at 1:20am: For those who checked out the shellback pictures steve is picture #35. The red head with what looks like cherry pie on his head.

Comment by jonandtysmom (9-5 & 9-26 PIR) on October 2, 2013 at 7:13pm: @Gina Fio - praying for you TODAY! God bless your boys!

Comment by jonandtysmom (9-5 & 9-26 PIR) on October 2, 2013 at 7:13pm: I'm not on as much as I'd like to be and to be honest, the twins are DEP and going to be home for several more months, but I have to say, I am SO BLESSED to see the Mom's connecting on here in such great ways. Before I know it, I will be hosting their going away party!! THANK YOU to the Mom's who are sharing their stories so candidly and imparting interesting ideas and wisdom here. Being a Mom of twins - with both headed out just weeks from the other, I'm so grateful for a forum like this. Love all the way around in here - I'm praying for you as your names appear in my email - LOVE from Oregon - Cyndi

Comment by Aunt bee on October 2, 2013 at 6:35pm: Hi I am new here. My son left for the navy today 10/02/13. He is a twin and his twin will be going into the Airforce . The have an older brother who has been in the Airforce for a little over a year now. I asked the twin how he feels, not much was said, he did post a picture on Instagram about his twin leaving. It brought tears to my eyes. I love all the support here.
