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."

Happy Friday...yay! Good luck on your interview and our course we all pray he stays far away from her.
Brittanysmom, everyone is correct so welcome to the world's largest roller coaster;).
Have a great weekend everyone!

Good morning.

Blondie, counting down the days! Going to be exciting and fun. Wish I had a good name for your puppy.

Brittanysmom, there is so much unknown for us moms. Andrea is right, your phone becomes a part of you. When I hear her ring, no matter where I am I amswer..LOL

Going for my interview this morning. Will let you all know how it goes. Thanks for your support. And please continue to pray for my girl that that POS will get out of her life and stay away from her.

Brittanysmom, Welcome so glad you found us..great bunch of ladies on this site! Sadly, the unknown will be your constant companion I would say you get use to it but I think it's more like it just becomes the new "normal".  There will be good days and bad days...comfort in knowing that someone on here has been there before and as the others have said we will all help each other get through!  You will also find that your cell phone has now become an extension of hand LOL shhhh don't tell...I even had mine at church and ducked out during Mass one time to take her call...hey, I figured if God didn't want me to answer he would have had her call after church, right?! LOL

Blondie, Whoo hoo counting down! Now this is when he will do the "official" proposal, right?  And why did she get you the puppy? You had too much free time??! LOL

Good Morning everyone.

Comment by Brittanysmom on August 22, 2014 at 1:34am
I got my form letter Wednesday. I have written her a short note everyday since she left. It's just all the unknown...how is she handling it...when will I hear from her....stressing I may miss her call in a few weeks. She is my oldest and first to leave home.
Comment by Oneofalot on August 21, 2014 at 11:03pm

We have all been there and are here for you.

Comment by Oneofalot on August 21, 2014 at 11:02pm

Yes we are here for you. I just don't say it as well. Thanks for putting in nicer words.
