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."

Hard Weekend

Posted on August 20, 2012 at 12:09pm 3 Comments

Boy this weekend was tough. I am not sure why. My daughter graduates on 09-14-2012. We have heard from her. One call and a few letters. She seems to be doing fine. I got some calls from her friends telling me bye as they are leaving for college. I think that is what made me really miss her. Just needed to vent for a minute... thank you all for listening.

We had Emma's going away party this weekend. Saw alot of the kids she has been friends with for along time. I could not help but admire the choices most had made. Some military - some college - some being bums.... She leaves two weeks from today. I am happy for her. This has been quite the process. She signed up in October. She thought this time would never come. Boy did time fly. I am excited for her adventure and if truth be told... might be a little excited for mine too. I have been a…

When our daughter joined the Navy in November, July seemed so long off. There was so many things to do. At that time there was Christmas to look forward to and then senior prom and then Graduation. I thought once Christmas was over time would fly.... well she just left for her senior prom and she has 13 days left of school. Time seems to be flying. Dont get me wrong... I am so proud of her and support her decision. She has a great recruiter and the support she has received through the DEP…

Well my sailor is officially that... a sailor. She completed MEPS yesterday. She will leave for basic training on July 17th after graduation. Two months ago graduation was all she talked about. Now it is just an event to get through before she leaves on her life adventure. Her dad and I are so proud.....

Hi denako, I'm Stacey. Again sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I work construction full time, go to school full time, and am a single mom (even though my kids are 17 + 19, it's worse at teenagers!).

 

Anyhow, enough about me. Tell me about you and your family, well, I already know a little but I swear I can't remember if you told me your name.

 

Are you finding everything okay (answers to questions, etc)?

We have a Survival Guide for Navy For Moms Newbie (clickable link). You'll find everything you need to get started. Videos, PDF files of boot camp processing days, links to all the important groups plus tips on how to use this site. Keep in mind the videos and PDF files may take some time to download the first time you try it. It'll look like nothing is happening. Be patient. Best part is it'll be here on your very own page as a reference. Click the MY PAGE tab on above menubar to access your page anytime - you should do it at least once a day to see if you have any postings on your comment wall (like this one). Good luck.
