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 navywife1126 on August 10, 2010 at 12:06pm: Yeah, he works nights...so I am sure by the time comm was up...he was off, maybe I don't know. This is the longest he's gone w/o emailing.

Comment by navywife1126 on August 10, 2010 at 11:58am: Morning Ladies,

I never did get an email last night. Must say that it's starting to upset me...

Communication is UP, this I know for sure. Even if he is super busy, I'd hope he'd find one minute to write me and just say everything is okay.

Not sure what is going on.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 10, 2010 at 11:47am: Alaina my son had it the last time he wentout but it took 2 weeks to get it this time.

Comment by Graysmom on August 10, 2010 at 11:39am: you can call me Diane, enjoy that nap.

Comment by Graysmom on August 10, 2010 at 11:35am: Thank you and top of the morning to you, Dolly!

Comment by Graysmom on August 10, 2010 at 11:30am: Dolly, is that without the wide hem band? Since I'm not sewing hundreds of them I'd like to make a few with the 2-3" wide hem.

Comment by Graysmom on August 10, 2010 at 11:18am: Good morning everyone....it sounds like the ship is very busy. My son just asked me for his hair clippers so he can shave his own head. He said the barber is always busy and making/keeping an appointment is difficult. He also complained about the food and he likes his food pretty bland so it must be bad!ha

Comment by Marty Mc on August 10, 2010 at 9:18am: Our public schools started yesterday; my homeschool started also! I have a 7th grade son. 2 things I NEVER wanted to be when I grew up:
1. a nurse (hate blood & gook...)
2. a teacher
oh, well... 1 out of 2 ain't bad! Actually, I love home schooling!

Haven't heard from my "navy-schooling" boy AT ALL. grrrr

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 10, 2010 at 7:13am: I do that too Lynn. It helps me not go back so far.
Good luck at your doctor visit and have a great school year. Our teachers started meetings yesterday and classes start on Thursday. We have a guy running for a state office with your last name so I see signs everywhere and I always think of you and say a prayer for your 3 sailors.
Have a great day ladies, I get to fill vending machines today :)

Comment by navywife1126 on August 10, 2010 at 1:31am: I haven't heard from my husband either, since Saturday. Don't think it has anyhing to do with the recent developments because my friend has heard from her husband...
