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."

Nancy Jo, good luck on family feud, Heather welcome back, I have a sailor in Norfolk area.  We have a guessing game going for when we reach 2700 members.  I am keeping track and the prize is a sun catcher that I make and also have listed on Etsy.  You do beautiful work.

Heather, what a darling little girl!! I have been on here about 2 1/2 years. Right now enjoying a visit from my son who will be in route to Hawaii. He gets a month off so will be here at least two weeks. 

We have had some great talks. I really am impressed with how he is maturing through all this. He has a good head on those shoulders.

Okay ladies I bit the bullet and took time to stop and post. I read everything daily, but it is in my email, so can't post back. Anyhow, good evening.

Heather welcome back to N4M and hello. My son just started proto in GC. I am also excited and try to stay supportive. Since he just moved into an apartment i have begun doing some retail therapy and buying things he would need.

1proudmama I love your pictures. Makes me really want some warm weather. I am too cold.

Dinky thank you for the well wish.

Keep writing and i will keep reading.

Awe thanks guys. She's a keeper no matter how little sleep i get lol. 

1proudmama - Best wishes to your son! My sister and a bunch of my friends are in Norfolk. I can't wait to get up there and find a home. Though i'm sad I will be leaving family that is 3 hours from me right now. But i'll be closer to my sister :)

Michianamom - good luck to your sailor on his orals, I know my son is so relieved to be done with school. Days get much shorter for them after that. Keep us posted. Will be sending positive energy, and well wishes your guys way.

Wishing all on Theodore Roosevelt safe travels, and blessings to all those worrying families.
