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."

That is the worst story I have ever heard. Her son is serving our country!
Comment by nanny2 on February 19, 2011 at 10:29pm
Suzi-  Wow I hadn't heard about this.  This company & any others like them should be ashamed.
Comment by Jeffsmom1380 on February 18, 2011 at 4:46pm
Yes Suzi-OH I have seen the whole series on the Military Channel about the Navy. Our sons & daughters are very special people! Anyone who serves their country in any branch of the military is special!
Comment by Suzi-OH on February 18, 2011 at 4:15pm
Jeffsmom - watched a show on the Military Channel about life on a sub.....amazing people who live that life.

My son just graduated from BESS & is now waiting for ATT class to start. He has TECHNO after that then A school. The Navy is a lot of hurry up & wait but my son knows it will all be worth it!

Hey ladies, I just joined the group as my daughter graduated last Friday and is now in A school at GL. She is going to be a hospital corpsman. I wanted to add to the food conversation as I brought many of her faves and all she had was a few bites of the cake I brought for her birthday. She did tell me that she broke down and had some french fries the other day. I think it's a good thing although be it a bit strange for her as she's always been my junk food junkie.

tls - SAME here.....I made rice krispie treats and brownies which he NEVER turns down and he begrudgingly took one little bite the second day.
Kathy - the headaches from lack of caffeine were probably killer, lol
My ex kept trying to convince Lynch to have a beer, but he would tell him that he can't and won't. I could've smacked the ex. He was in the Navy years back, but was not really cut out for it....certainly not like Lynch.

After the first week or two in P'cola Lynch felt he was not getting enough PT, so was doing more on his own. He worked out and played basketball while home for Christmas, too. And yet....he did have a major hangover the last night....but he is 21. :)

SO true!  When I went for PIR last weekend, I brought all of my daughter's favorites ... at least, what USED to be her favorites ... Sour Patch Kids, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, Starbucks French Vanilla Frappacino in a bottle ... she hardly touched ANY of it!
Comment by Suzi-OH on February 16, 2011 at 12:03am
Kathy - Lynch loved the food at BC, too!! He said he never ate so many veggies in his life.
Comment by tls on February 15, 2011 at 11:34pm
Wow ... thanks Kathy!  Sounds like "down time" compared to RTC!  I hope my daughter doesn't have to wait too long ... I've heard that there's not much at the base in Meridian to do ...
