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 September 21, 2013 at 12:56pm: Cathy...so good to hear you have heard from your boys. Such a funny story about Bryce's RDC. I'm sure it's been hard for them not to see each other. At least they will be at the same base for A-school. Nothing like an instant buddy.

Ellen...great news! You are so close to PIR now! And what a fun experience for your older son too. Have a nice tome with your family today and cheers to your nephew as he begins his new adventure in our fine Navy.

CO-twin...hope business picks up for your yard sale. We need to have one, but can't until like October. We'll see.

Disy...so glad you heard from Twinkle 1. Yippee on her ranking up. Sorry about the weapons training, hopefully she will improve at another time. Funny story though ;)
The boys are doing well. Jonathan is out with the marching band knocking on doors for band appreciation day (aka band begging day). Nathanael has been doing well with school and I keep trying to work on him applying for a scholarship a week at least. We have some kind of Senior night event at his school on Monday. Hopefully it will be helpful. This whole going to college is freaking me out. We have our local N4M picnic today. I'm a little worried as the weather has turned a bit yucky and it might rain today. Crossing my fingers it doesn't. Oh and yes I'm totally looking forward to Thursday when CO-twin and I get to meet. We will definitely have a good time!

Double trouble...hope your boys are doing well and we hear from you soon!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 21, 2013 at 12:41pm: Did you get the new 5s with the finger print ID?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 21, 2013 at 12:38pm: It seems that when you have kids in the navy it is contagious. More friends and family join. Garage sale poor showing, pray for mor people for me please.

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on September 21, 2013 at 9:22am: Hi everyone!
I felt like Noah last night - or at least the person who had not completed the Ark! We sure did get a lot of rain!
Two weeks to go - it cannot get here quick enough!!!
SR doing well - got advancement!
BUT sadly failed weapons training! She was so bad she actually fired shots after they called cease Fire!!! LOL! We were in hysterics when we heard! Thanks goodness she is going aviation!
Talking of phones we just updated our iPhones - yucky - don't like it at all!!
Ellen I forget which division your son is in???
Co-Twin you must be excited for your trip!!
Sierrascrapper - hope the boys are doing good!
Cathy you must be excited,
Have a great weekend!!

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on September 20, 2013 at 8:59pm: I got a letter from both of my boys today!! They finally got to see each other. Bryce said he thought his RDC was more excited then him. Bryce said that his RDC literally ran over and pointed out where his brother was and said "Look it's the other G*****" and everyone in the division looked at Gregory and then back at Bryce and then Gregory got yelled at because he smiled and laughed. But they were just marching by so that is all they got. just a glance!! I think I want them to spend time with one another as bad I as want to spend time with them myself.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on September 20, 2013 at 8:57pm: Thanks, CO-Twin!! I will think next time I copy and paste.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 20, 2013 at 8:31pm: like two ships passing in the night, repost it without names.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 20, 2013 at 8:31pm: taken care of no problem but I am glad I got to read it first!!

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on September 20, 2013 at 7:23pm: Oh, shoot I copied and pasted off my timeline and wasn't thinking anything about it. I am on my phone now. Can you take care of that for me. I can't figure it out.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 20, 2013 at 6:32pm: That is a great Story Cathy I squealed myself. Just a reminder though we are not supposed to post first and last names. If you can not change it to maybe use G_______ instead of spelled out let me know and I can as the administrator.
