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."

Colleen, I want to visit in August for sure (fresh seafood, Maine in the summer) but may have to go back for the surgery. I may be helping them move in December. And you KNOW I will want to go visit when the baby gets here. :-)

Wow Lorraine! That's a lot of stuff to think about!
Comment by Colleen on July 23, 2014 at 6:55pm

Dang Lorraine, you need a calendar just for their dates so you don't lose track!

Our Sailor called last night to let us know that he officially re-enlisted for 2 more years yesterday.

Lovin' today's weather.  It's just beautiful.

Keeping pretty busy this month and enjoying summer. Found out my Navy son may need some surgery. Trying to get him to schedule and let me know when so I can get out to Maine and help his wife is like pulling teeth. They have a dog and 5 year old that would need looking after so the wife can be with Scott. An MRI found a hole in his heart, not just the murmur they thought he had. A baby is on the way in January and they are supposed to move to Washington in December. Boy, if that isn't putting a lot into the rest of the year!

Hang in there Dunesmom.  (((Hugs))) to you.

Getting back to normal after a vacation.  The brain still isn't all back yet.

Prayers for your daughter Navygirlsmom.

Welcome to all of the new Moms.

I'm loving this warmer weather - you can't shovel sunshine!

Comment by Dunesmom on July 22, 2014 at 9:19am

Good Morning Mommas!  What a day in our state of Michigan hu.  Let's be thankful for what we have and that most of life is well.  Heard from Dune, things are touchy is all he would tell me.  not sure what that even means.  Hoping to hear his voice when he can.  Have you all heard from your Sailors?  What is going on with them, well what you can say, I know how that goes.  Continued Prayers for All.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on July 13, 2014 at 10:44pm
Prayers for you and your daughter, Navygirlsmom. So glad she has been able to call home and able to share with you. I will keep her in prayers that she is able to get through her training and for you to know she is in good hands. So sorry for your loss.

We have our Marine home with us!! He surprised us early afternoon on Friday!!! He gave us some story about him being bumped from hid flight and getting a later one. We had our daughter's grad party yesterday and it was an overall great day! Although we gave quite a bit of food and I will be taking it to a local church as they do a meal for those in need on Mondays.

Have a great card making day!!! I am sorry that I won't be able to make it. Thinking of ya'll!!

Will do and for you as well.
Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on July 12, 2014 at 3:36pm

Navygirlsmom - Will continue to pray for her.

Comment by Navygirlsmom on July 12, 2014 at 1:04pm

Hi Ladies! Received another call from my daughter last evening...still very upset, but thankfully it wasn't a "i'm coming home" call! The Chaplin working with her allowed the call for her, so awesome that they are being supportive! Broke my heart though when she said no one is able to hug her due to regulations! We were able to talk and I feel like she listened more, now that the initial shock was over. She said she is having a hard time concentrating to study for her test on Monday..... Please keep those prayers coming!!
