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 last text from my daughter on 11/3/2010 waiting @ Airport.

I was clearing my text messages on my cell and had to share with you all, my last text from my daughter @ the Airport on Wednesday …”Hey mom, words cant explain enough how much of an amazing mother u are, no one can replace u ever. You would do anything for me and my sisters. You may not feel at times your doing enough for us as a single mom, but that’s the opposite, you are my role model, you’re the most strongest independent and passionate person I know. You have given me my strength to do this. Saying goodbye to you is the hardest for me one look at u or If I think of you, I start to tear up. You mean the world to me and I’m going to miss you the most” ……………………….

Kids will surprise you won't they? As a mom we always think we never get through to them or that we talk for our health, and then we get little notes like this that say it all! THEY DO LISTEN AND PAY ATTENTION :) lol
Thanks for sharing this, that was very nice of you. I think if I were you I would save that one, it will help you get through the rough times ahead.
Good luck to her and thank her for serving!
