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."

Hey ladies, I hope you don't mind that I moved our page to our PIR group.  I read where we need to do this so that the other page can be cleared for the next group.  Plus this will be easier to keep up with!  lol  Hope you all are having a great day!

Becky and Jake, thank you for sharing your story! God Bless you both abundantly! You both are very special and God has something great planned for Jake! I think all the LO's on this site wish we could all give you guys hugs.
I also printed out this message and will give it to my husband. I read the message to my sister and we could not stop crying. Thank you for raising such a wonderful young man. He is awesome! I will continue to pray for Jake and you. God Bless!
Wishing sailor_mom1 was on tonight... I am going through my facebook posts and I see one from a friend from high school who says she is a new grandma...to a baby named Addison, born in Florida yesterday! Coincidence??
It is a small world!!!!
My candle is burning....I have a pile of stuff to go into the suitcase...more stuff in the washing machine and dryer....all I need now I a call and I will ready to go. Wonder if my boss will buy if I call in sick on Thursday? Probably not.
Probably not, but I bet he would understand. I haven't worked for a long time (used to work in the World Trade Center) but when I did I was fortunate to have a very understanding boss. My older son was a handful so I was always getting called to school (ugh) those were the days. Thank goodness my SR was not any problem, I don't think I could of relived that again. There is 18 years between my two boys.
All I can say is WOW Kat!!!!!! lol 18 years?? And I thought 4 was a good number! lol Blue candle is burning! Trying to wake up, drinking 1st cup of coffee and then packing the bathroom bag and out the door! HooYah! Our guys and gals only have 2 hours and 15 minutes to go!!!!!
I'm awake....kinda I slept for 3 hours?? (maybe). So excited for ithat call to come today. Unfortunately, I have to work today too. I'll catch an early flight in the morning to Milwaukee then drive to GL. SOOO ready for all the stress to end and for the real fun to begin! Right now, I need caffeine!!!!
There are 12 years between my SR and his little sister - and she is just as excited as I am LOL. She can't wait to she her big brother. The 4yr old doesn't realy care - he is mad at his brother because he didn't leave more legos - not sure how many he wants cause big brother left all he had - 5 gallon bucket full. LOL.
Is 5 gallons enough to build an aircraft carrier? :)
It is enough to build a mine field between mom and the bathroom in the middle of the night LOL - Only thing that hurts more then legos to step on is hotwheels....and guess what else big brother gave Harry?
Got the call!!! 330 passed Battlestations!!! David said all other Divisions also passed. They are EXHAUSTED but stoked And Jake - my son David says to tell you THANK YOU for supporting 330!!
