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 JudyB. on February 22, 2011 at 11:25pm: Hi, I'm here, it's Tristan's mom...Judy! How are you and How is Charles doing on his journey?!

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on February 22, 2011 at 9:55pm: Hello everyone.....it sure has been a while...how are you and your sailors doing?

Comment by Kim on February 13, 2011 at 8:57pm: Great pic Pam! I love it when they man the rails! The Enterprise is on it's way to the gulf (last I heard!)!

Comment by Kim on February 12, 2011 at 12:32am: Here is the ship in port in Marmaris, Turkey!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on February 8, 2011 at 12:47pm: I hope he gets to see as much as he is looking forward to. I think I would be making a turkey dinner while he was there so to see turkey at the same time as him. HeeHee

It is pretty amazing that it's been almost a year for us all. So glad we've got each other to keep up on what is going on with our PIR mates.

Comment by Jan1 on February 8, 2011 at 10:28am: Our sailors are now in Turkey! They are having nice weather. My son is going to take advantage of one of the really interesting tours. He is very interested in history - this should be a good tour. Last year this time he was getting ready to go to Boot Camp and now he is in Turkey - Wow - he sure is getting to see the world.

Comment by JudyB. on January 26, 2011 at 6:46pm: OH Kim, How Wonderful!! Wow Porugal...Can you imagine how beautiful the countryside?!!! Hats off!! I hope they take lots of pics and forward to you and then to us...maybe?! :>)

Comment by Kim on January 26, 2011 at 6:20pm: Yeah! USS Enterprise makes it's first port call in Lisbon, Portugal!!! Alot of excited sailors ready to get off the ship!

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on January 25, 2011 at 12:50pm: Kim and Judy: I'm just adding "friends" the the "sailor's home" fb page I created and so far have friends/family in Seattle, L.A., Warrenton/Missouri, NYC. I give my email address as a contact and figure I can be a contact person. But if anyone wants to add themselves or any information, please feel free. There is already at least one site like this, for sailors during travels across the U.S. Can't hurt to keep a network for our guys/girls, for any support needed. Just an idea.... :)

Comment by sjr23 on January 24, 2011 at 11:41pm: Hi Judy....long time, no see...where one door closes, another one opens and that is what happened - he is currently underway for 3 months to 27 different ports around South America

Kim and Janis - Thanks for your info - he is on the USS Gunston Hall and I don't know if they are with any others...someone on the TN group just recommended the family readiness group to me. I had never even heard of that, so I just requested to be added to that. Apparently, they update you on everything you need to know. Thanks for the tip on SW. His ship is a 'little' ship (like 200 full time) and so I just guess there aren't alot of moms??? I may check out your ship and see what you all are talking about! Isn't it crazy to see what our concerns were a year ago as compared to what they are now? But we all grow and mature...
