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 September 13, 2013 at 8:38pm: It's been too long since I have seen my family. So it was time. you know when your parents get older it becomes important to go visit. I missed seeing my mom before she died and will always regret that. I also want to check out S. Oregon to maybe retire there, however My Sam would like me to move to where he gets stationed and open a Bakery on base. Nice boy, that Sam I am.

He is hoping for Washington, San Diego or Hawaii.

of the three I would not want to go to San Diego as I have lived for 30 years in a TINY town. I would feel lost all the time. and nervious.

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on September 13, 2013 at 8:01pm: Co-twin I envy you your trip ! It sounds like fun! What made you decide to take it?

Lulu - it is hard - my SR is due to go to Pensacola - when we were in CA it sounded awful! Now that we're in Houston I am - few hours away from both my girls but still it's difficult!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 13, 2013 at 11:13am: Steve's division did not ever get to Ricky heaven, Sam's did I think twice.
Hope everyone has a great day
Hope to hear from Cathy, Cindy, 3boys, doubletrouble, and twinsailorsmom.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 13, 2013 at 11:07am: Disy so your twinkle 1 and Ellen's should be set to do BS the weekend that I an out in Calif.
got a text from Sam early 4:30am with a very handsome pic of him in his whites. He forgot time issue and was on his way out to class.
Way to go twinkle 1 hooya!!!

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on September 13, 2013 at 10:23am: CO-twin...prayers going up for you and Colorado. I heard the state is due for rain all weekend.

Disy...what GREAT news! And doing well with the RTC 2nd in command is AWESOME! Hope they get to Ricky Heaven this weekend. I love hearing about the accomplishments of the SRs. You gals are getting so close to PIR...how exciting!

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on September 13, 2013 at 8:31am: Hi LuLu - welcome! Hope your son gets his ankle sorted out! We've prayed before for skinny ankles we can do it again!
Oh goodness Beachbunny! She's given me some good tips on travels to Pensacola so tell her I said Hi!! Sounds like a fun trip Co-Twin hope you will be able to post pics!
Yes it is sad news with all the flooding! And then the boardwalk in NJ! Terrible!
Ellen where is your sons gf studying nursing? Seems to be a lot more work than the "college image" - she's loving it - told me yesterday she can't wait to get to the blood and stuff! Ewwww what did I raise!
No word from Cathy? Doubletrouble either?
Twinkle 1 is doing great! Her division MIGHT get the Hall of Fame Award they are doing so well and Twinkle 1 got to shake hands and answer questions from the RTC 2nd in command and got them right (phew!) she said her RDC's were so pleased!
Ellen I know you're also 10/4 so you are counting down like me! Are you on the PIR fb page?
Happy happy happy Friday everyone!
My SR might be doing recruit heaven this weekend so fingers crossed! They got 9.5 on their Marlin Spike?? And then 4.91 on their inspection so if they maintain that they get recruit heaven.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 13, 2013 at 2:41am: Raining raining steady hope we don't flood also, live across the road from the river. Ground already soaked.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on September 13, 2013 at 1:35am: Such sad news coming out of Colorado. Glad you aren't affected CO-twin. Looking forward to our day of FUN and meeting new Navy Moms :)
