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."

He is Ship 02 Div 911 will graduate 1/23 God willing everything goes ok. I will definitely look back to when it started I really enjoy hearing other stories about twins. My son is having a hard time right now because he has had a sinus infection plus very homesick.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 17, 2014 at 1:20am: Welcome to the new member Dachshund28.... Please intruduce yourself. You obviously have twins. Are they boys girls both? are both in the navy? what will their rate be? Those are my two a couple of posts ago,

Mot a very active group, but if you post I always respond and so do a couple of others.

Comment by TDSNAVY04 on November 14, 2014 at 12:51pm: They are in meridian MS Sonya

Comment by Sonya Momof2Recruits on November 14, 2014 at 12:48pm: Hi everyone. Mine are identical and they have never been apart. They will both remain in GL for A school but for different things. TDSNAVY04 I live in MS. Where are your girls at A school?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 13, 2014 at 9:52pm

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 13, 2014 at 9:51pm: Yes they are twins!!LOL one 5'9" one 6'4" fraternal obviously.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 13, 2014 at 9:50pm: The only thing that might beat PIR is going for a deployment homecoming. Went to our IT's homecoming, the other one is still in Nuke training for another year or so maybe? After him being gone 8 months sure was thrilling to see him emerge from that ship on the gangway!! He disappeared for a moment and popped up right beside me!!! He looked like a man with his new mustache. If either go on a ship you must go to a homecoming. Anybody else here been through a deployment yet?

twin got liberty to drive up for the event!! first time they had seen each other in a year.

Comment by TDSNAVY04 on November 13, 2014 at 9:13pm: Yes they are identical. They are in meridian and there rate is LS logistics specislist. Yea she would like italy or Japan but I'm sure it's wherever the Navy wants them. The other twin would like San diego. PIR was one of the most amazing things to witness we loved it especially after the 8 weeks of BC it was such a relief and joy to see our girls

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 13, 2014 at 8:31pm: Nice to hear from you TDSNAVY04 Are your daughters identical? How did you enjoy PIR? Mississippi? what is their rate? and Where overseas? My son the IT wanted tally but got a destroyer out of Norfolk. I think he may try to get a transfer overseas by summer. He will have been serving 2 years by then.

Comment by TDSNAVY04 on November 13, 2014 at 6:25pm: Hi!! I love hearing about twins going together my twin daughters just had PIR on 10/31/2014. They were in brother divisions but slept just a couple beds from each other. They are now in A school together in Mississippi. They have the same rate but one twin wants to go overseas and the other wants west coast so we will see what happens. If you have any questions about BC just ask I can help. Sonyamomof2recruits
