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 darlene nuke mom ny on December 18, 2014 at 1:33pm: NancyJo, that is terrible to hear, I hope all turns out ok.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 18, 2014 at 1:15pm: Oh NancyJo - NO - I am so very sorry to hear this.....geez this just burns me up.....and you're right - they'll probably just toss everything when they find out it's not gifts. Your son doesn't need this headache right now :(

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on December 18, 2014 at 12:04pm: My son is on his way to SD to report to the CV70 making his way across country with his family. Last night his cartop carrier was broken into and they stole his seabag. He lost all his uniforms. We're heartbroken but at least they didn't break into the van and steal all the electronics he had in there. Now he has to rush and replace his uniforms including sewing on all the patches and stuff. Why are people so terrible to each other? The thieves were probably looking for Christmas gifts and will throw his stuff out on the side of the road.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 18, 2014 at 11:57am: Hi All - Happy Thursday!

Co-twin - yep it's been a longgggg 2 years LOL! Now we anxiously await for his orders - he said they should be getting them anytime.

Sierrascrapper - nice to hear that both your boys are doing well! Enjoy your time with them.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 17, 2014 at 10:00pm: O b'snukemom... congrates to your sailor. He is almost there...then starts a whold new adventure and a whole new worries for mom.

Happy Christmas to you and your whole family.

Sierra good to see you on here. Hope you are settled in your new home. See your twins do really care about each other, Maybe all their competitiveness is behind them now that they have been apart and can just be bro's.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on December 17, 2014 at 3:07pm: Howdy everyone! Been out of touch for a while. My schedule at work had been a bear and it's hard to find time to keep up with my favorite groups.

Hope you all are getting ready for a Very Merry Christmas. We are gladly planning the arrival of our Sailor home for the holiday stand-down. His twin brother is excited too! We will cherish this year so very much as we may not be as fortunate next year due to timing of his next phase of school. My heart goes out to all of you who do not get to have your Sailor home for the holidays. I want to extend a sincere thank you to them for their sacrifice for us.

My boys are doing GREAT! My Nuke is halfway through A-school and is doing well in his class and seems happy. He just bought his first wooden clarinet and has been playing it with an ensemble of Sailors on base. I cannot wait to hear him play his vlarinet agsin when he is home. My Sailor's twin did quite well for his first semester of college. I think he ended up with a high B average and he just started his first job about a month ago. Sure makes this Mom's heart so proud to know we have raised good kids.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 17, 2014 at 11:50am: Hi All - Happy Wednesday.

Sailor had his 100% exam yesterday - one step closer to graduation!

Comment by BoyWonderMom on December 17, 2014 at 11:26am: Co-twin, that's too funny, a tire for a stand and fishing lures! I can just picture that! LOL boys and their imagination! Too cute. I bet you are just glad they are making a nice Christmas for themselfs.
Sending a text to my boy to go run to target and find some xmas lights for that bare tree!

Comment by N4M10756 on December 17, 2014 at 7:49am: My son flew out of O'Hare. He PIR'd 11/21. He asked for all his electronics including his laptop and some underwear, sweatpants, a shirt and one pair of sneakers. I put that in a backpack that I kept with me until I saw him at the airport. He checked in all his bags and then he carried the backpack as his carry-on. (They are not allowed to carry the backpack on their shoulders, only hold it in hand). His girlfriend, who visited him the week of thanksgiving, took him a bag full of the clothes he wanted, books, etc. Then, a week later, he asked for some other things (more shoes and clothes). Those, I sent in the BC box. When he saw the box he told me he thought: "I'm so glad BC is over!"

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 17, 2014 at 1:45am: Boywondermom Mine sent a text pic they have lights all throughout their apartment. Icicles on the fireplace mantle, and blue ones on al the arched doorways. It is festive. His twin sent a pic of his tree, It is stuck in a tire for a stand eith lights and fishing lures and bobs for orniments. LOL
