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 1Bodyprof on October 22, 2015 at 10:33pm: Melinda I ride out: I'm in New Braunfels. How 'bout you?

Comment by Nana51 on October 20, 2015 at 5:55pm: Pam, count the Falcon women in. We are ready, just let us know when and where.

Comment by Pam(Tyler's mom) on October 19, 2015 at 7:38am: Good morning ladies! We're enjoying some great weather in the Houston area! I'd like to get together with moms/aunts/cousins etc in the SW Houston/Sugar Land/Katy/Pearland area or anyone who feels like coming. Maybe a Saturday would be best with schedules sometime before the holidays. We can decide a location central to everyone that want's to join. Would love to catch up with our moms that meet at Chuy's and meet more moms.

Comment by potterhead'smom on October 16, 2015 at 3:34pm: That's too funny KimberlyDi Far Away Nuke. I hadn't thought about that possibility. Thanks for the welcome & encouragement. This site has already made it easier.

Comment by Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on October 16, 2015 at 2:37pm: Potterhead's - LOL, I'm so sorry, when I first saw your name, all I saw was pothead's mom. Welcome! I started this journey about two years ago exactly with my son. Boot camp was the worst with limited contact. It gets easier after that (for the mom's). I'm in the DFW area.

Comment by Melinda I ride out on October 7, 2015 at 9:20pm: 1Bodyprof, I am a massage therapist too!! Small world, my sailor's PIR is 10/23 and several times I have kept my phone in my therapy room. My clients are so understanding. They ask all the time how he is doing and several ask me to share the letters. I am blessed to have had some for over 20 years, they are like extended family.

Comment by 1Bodyprof on October 7, 2015 at 8:37pm: TexasBird(Robin): I was in the middle of giving a massage when I got mine! Luckily she is a good friend and I warned her before we started. Talked with my Sailor for 15 minutes before I hung up.

Comment by Texasmom on October 7, 2015 at 4:12pm: Congrats TexasBird, to being so close to completion!!

Comment by TexasBird(Robin) on October 7, 2015 at 3:57pm: Howdy Texas Moms, We are 8 days from PIR and waiting on our "I'm a Sailor" call. I am on pins and needles. I even tried to move my hair color appointment so I wouldn't be under the sink or tin foil when he calls.....Now THAT's anxiety!!!
