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."

Hi there - haven't seen you on lately - how are you doing?

Just popping in to see how you are feeling?  I've missed seeing you on here ;-)

Thank you so much for all the previous info on the coins.  At the Prototype Graduation they set up a big table with bumper stickers, water bottles, challenge coins, belt buckles and Zippo lighters.  The coins are great and my son is very grateful that they had them there so I can now stop tormenting him to get to the second floor and get them for me!!  Thanks again and good luck to your son.

A HUGE thank you to you and Mrs. NDM!  You both are the best and your generosity means the world to me :)

Your son will be OK. We went thru a similar experience with our sailor's younger brother. He was at the United States Military Academy, West Point for two years. We couldn't believe he would part with such a prestigious opportunity. But in the end, it was his life. We vacillate from feeling that like we were hit in the stomach to being very, very thankful he is not in Afghanistan doing mine sweeps. Is he out of the woods? The jury is still out. Hit me a friend request if you need someone to talk to.

NDM - Just checking in to see how things are?  Have you received any news from your son as to where he will be going yet?  I hope he is not being too hard on himself. Please give him a big navy mom hug from me!

We had a lot of discussion on the nuke site yesterday regarding prototype school and I really missed not seeing any input from you.  I've always looked forward to your posts and the wealth of knowledge that you possess regarding the nuke program. 

Please give a big hug to Mrs. NDM and I hope you will continue to share your knowledge with us.
