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."

A little about me:
A proud Mother of 3. Happily married for 28yrs. My daughter 25, married, currently a successful teacher in elementary education as a Kindergarten teacher. Her husband in currently an active reserve Officer in the US Coast Guard, in addition he's a successful high school instructor in the area of business and entrepreneurship. They blessed us with our first grandchild just after the new yew 2010. I'm also bless with 2 sons, 22 & 20. My 22 yr. is Fire Fighter 1 and a Nationally registered EMT as well as volunteer FF for our local Fire Dept. Unfortunately, with all his credentials, CA has not been forthcoming in helping him to obtain a job in this field he is very passionate about. He is currently in college working toward a Bachelor Degree. My 20
yr. old entered the Navy Oct 26, 2010.He is currently at RTC. His PIR is Dec. 22, 2010. He is in Div: 906 and will be in the Honor Guard during the graduation ceremony. He is in the SECF program, so he has great things ahead of him for his future...The military is a brand-new chapter & experience in our lives, with the exception of our son-in-law.I must admit, I'm a bit uneasy with the whole military idea in general, but the more confidence I hear in his voice, the better I feel. I am a worrier at heart, always have been, so it is difficult for me. I support them & love all of my children more than anything in the world. I pray daily for their safety, happiness, & success in all they do. They have many opportunities ahead of them, each specific to them, but non the less very exciting to watch in excitement as they experience all that awaits them, see them grow, become stronger, more confident people, but most of all I pray they find love & all that makes them happy. My biggest wish for all my children is for them to find true joy & happiness. So while they go places, experience adventures & opportunities galore, somewhere within the journey their lives take them, I know along the way they will find everything they need & all the happiness & love they deserve plus more....
I am here to support my

Knowledge is power. ......My father is a Navy Veteran & has said nothing but positive things regarding his experience in the Navy, so I'm certain I will be able to get the information I need from other sources....I do like the Navy's reputation & my son is very happy with his choice & looking forward to Oct. 25, 2010........He graduates BC Dec. 22, 2010 & will come home with us after his PIR/Graduation Ceremony.
