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."

Hi Tina, 

Nice to meet you, I am also on facebook, if you want to become friends there as well. Of course we will see each other at graduation, I am trying to be positive. I was glad to hear that their "Wake Up Wed." will not start until tomorrow, except that it will be bitter cold! I did not know that I would be this nervous. I have a son that joined the navy out of HS. He surprised me, but I don't remember being this nervous...

We did hear from Ryan on that first night. It was good to hear from him. I guess we won't hear anything now for about 4 weeks, right? And that we are to remember that no news is good news. I remember reading that from one of the places I have wandered in this site! Have a great day.

No- my son graduated from Erskine this past May. He has so many friends though that graduated from there. He was down there visiting many times. Did you hear from Nick yesterday? Ryan called us in the morning right before he walked in so we are thinking that is why we didn't get the " I made it here" phone call. Sounds like this week will be one of the worst for our guys. I will be praying for both of them.

Nice to meet you Tina! I was excited to see that Nick had graduated from Clemson and was so close. Who knows, maybe our sons will get to know each other as well. It would be nice to meet sometime. I am still trying to figure out how to maneuver this forum. I haven't taken the plunge to facebook but it might also be a good way to keep in touch with other moms. Hope your day is going well,
