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."

My son's name is Mike Schneider.  What is your son's name?  Have a wonderful time out there.  There is a possibility that my husband & I might be able to fly out early next week to visit Michael, if we can get affordable flight rates at this late date, as well as a place to stay. Our travel agent is working on it, & we'll know more by the end of the week.  I'll keep you posted if anything develops, maybe, if things work out, we'll see you out there!

I know you sent me a friend request & I'd like to accept, but I don't know how. I'm not sure if u meant on your personal Facebook page, or sub mom page, or Texas Facebook page.

Thank you for your response.  Can't wait to talk with you, as a new member to the group and a first time "sub mom".    Linda

Contact Chris--she is close to you and the Arvada recruiters.  She helps put together a lot of Molly's Adopt a Sailor packing parties and is just the greatest person.  I was lucky to meet her a year ago when we got together for our first "nationwide" packing party.  I'm down in Illinois by St. Louis.

Hi--sorry I missed you on chat.  My son is also an MM sub. 

Don't know how far you are from Arvada, but there are some great moms over there.  I met them last May at a packing party.  Look up the Colorado state group.  Also check out Molly's Adopt a Sailor--it keeps me occupied!

Hi. We have been to Charelston many times since we got married, and lots more since our sailor went there about 18 months ago. Great area! Tell your sailor to watch out for the alligators.

Hello Lion: Wow your day is almost here, I am so excited for you!!!!. My sons PIR is 4/2
I wanted to say hello and wish you well in your travels.
Your son already completed his Battle Satations I would imagine. How was that, I bet he will have some stories to share once he gets home. Will you get time with him once he graduates? My son will be a grad n go ;( but we will get to see him after A school ;)
Again, Congratulations and Best to you and yours. God Bless and take care.

Hi again Lion55's mom! I laughed at your last post -- about your son learning to fold clothes, etc. --- we cleaned out his room before he left and I kept telling him it looked like an episode of "Hoarders" ... lol :) My personal e-mail address is Kmil65@hotmail.com ... feel free to write me there any time, may be easier than this huge forum (I have trouble navigating it too!) ... sounds like we are on the same journey since our kids left at the same time. Take care and I hope to hear from you soon!
