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."

Ethan is good! Working lots and staying busy! they had him working nights, then days, then nights, now days! haha Sound familiar? lol

Comment by Graysmom on August 9, 2010 at 9:17pm: Kim; Thank you, thank you, thank you. The web cam page is now in my favorites.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 9, 2010 at 9:15pm: Guess who just got an email from her sailor......ME!!! How exciting is that. Thank you Lord for giving me that blessing!!!!

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 9, 2010 at 9:12pm: I just got cold meds, throat spray, bandaids, tylenol, pepto, tums, etc. that kind of stuff. He will have his own little medicine cabinet. lol

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 9, 2010 at 9:11pm: The link for the web cam is in the discussion web threads. I posted on it so it would go to the top of the page.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 9, 2010 at 9:07pm: I also send protein bars, nuts, trail mix, sunflower seeds, jerky and salami sticks. He doesn't have access to a fridge so I can't send anything that needs to be kept cold or can't be eaten at one time. I haven't sent him his meds yet but I have them. They were going to go out in my next box but it's on hold til further notice. I am hoping to go to SD before too long but I have to talk to my sailor and I am one of those moms who hasn't gotten but 2 emails.

Comment by Graysmom on August 9, 2010 at 9:03pm: LB's mom; I didn't see it there but I am tired & sunburned from being at the beach all day and it took all I had to catch up with over 200 comments! ha

Comment by Graysmom on August 9, 2010 at 9:02pm: NavyWife1126, try it again, I just accepted your friend request. Thank you

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 9, 2010 at 8:58pm: I sent some of those meals that you add water, micro and drain. I don't know if he liked them but I sent them. I also sent the Uncle Bens 90 second rice packets, Spam (he actually asked for that) EasyMac packs and ramen along with a 2 cup microwavable container with a screw top lid. I sent peanut butter and crackers and canned cheese. I made him sit down with a list I had and he had to mark everything he wanted and what flavor, scent, etc. so I have an idea what to send him. I also have an EOD sailor that is like a son to me and I made him sit down with the list also. He will deploy before to long and I have to get his stuff to him too!
