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."

Comment by Graysmom on August 10, 2010 at 1:02pm: Thanks nw1126...btw, you'll get word from husband soon. Try to be patient and less worry-some. He needs you to be strong. It gives him one less thing to worry about or have to attend to. Try to invision his life on that ship. The food isn't very good, he's probably not getting enough rest, His work hours change from time to time, he has to wait in line for a computer. Keep yourself centered. Be a source of comfort for him when he does finally get ahold of you.

Comment by ProudAOwife12 on August 10, 2010 at 1:01pm: Hello...jus got my 2 yr old dwn for a nap..i was wondering how often is that web cam updated? If anyone knws..

Comment by navywife1126 on August 10, 2010 at 12:56pm: That's the one that's to the left....where the Lincoln was when it was in SD

Comment by navywife1126 on August 10, 2010 at 12:54pm: USS Carl Vinson

Comment by Graysmom on August 10, 2010 at 12:48pm: Does anyone here know what carrier we're looking at on the SD web cam?

Comment by Myheartisatsea on August 10, 2010 at 12:46pm: My son works nights as well. Maybe there's something to that. :/

Comment by navywife1126 on August 10, 2010 at 12:40pm: Yeah, Navygurl, they are good friends. Their racks are right across from each other. Only difference is, my husband works nights and my friends husband works days.

Hi Myheartisatsea, I wish my husband would at least send me something like that. That would make me feel so much better! It's just frustrating. I understand they are busy and all, so I can't be mad. I am just sad. It takes two mintutes to sit down and write an email...and he knows me...he has to know I am feeling super anxious right about now. Oh well.

Thanks ladies <3

Comment by Myheartisatsea on August 10, 2010 at 12:34pm: Hi Navywife. I understand your frustrations. I sent my son a few emails without a response and finally received one in return that had a whole five words in it; 'I'm ok just really stressed.' ....that was it. They must be working them like dogs out there. Hang in there, I'm sure his thoughts are with you.

Comment by navywife1126 on August 10, 2010 at 12:10pm: I hope so...

='(

Comment by navywife1126 on August 10, 2010 at 12:08pm: He hasn't emailed since Saturday...and comm has not been down since Sat.

It's just frustrating because I see everyone getting emails...even my friend here, whose husband works with mine...so it's like ooookay....

It's just not a cute feeling.......when I have to say oh I haven't heard from my husband when my friend is going on about what her hubby said in her email....and how she just got flowers......

today...just isn't going to be a good day
