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."

Glad they are all safe. Wish they weren't filmed being off loaded from helo.

F-18 crash

Comment by JudyM on May 26, 2016 at 1:01pm

Anyone hear about the jet crash off the North Carolina coast?

Comment by J/J Mom on May 1, 2016 at 3:12pm

Suzie -- i'm so sorry to hear about your father.  It can be very difficult.  My bro-in-law has that type of tumor &, honestly, it's been a difficult road.  My prayers are with you & your family.  Enjoy every day w/ your dad.  ((((HUGS)))) 

Comment by Barb on April 29, 2016 at 9:15am

Suzie, I'm so sorry about the diagnosis.  That will be a hard call, I know.  Sending hugs.

Comment by Barb on April 29, 2016 at 8:37am

Hi there, 

Congrats CheriH, those are all wonderful things!  I hope there's a Tiger Cruise in my future at some point!

Suzie, sending prayers for your Dad and huzzahs for your retirement!  I'm sure there are lots of emotions in your household right now.  

Our DS is in a training at Pearl Harbor for a couple of weeks...he's making the most of it, but we all know these things are not as glamorous as they sound.  Mostly it's 12 hours a day in a room with no windows!  They've been down to Waikiki though and he did some snorkeling, etc. etc.  He called me yesterday but I was on a conference call at work, bummer!  

Have a wonderful weekend everyone...hoping spring has sprung wherever you are!

CheriH - That will be awesome! We were able to be dock side on Coronado when the USS Carl Vinson came in to North Island last June. Seeing all the families gathered to see their loved one return after so long was something I will never forget. Our son had flown in with the helo squadron the previous day after he had assumed command of the squadron. We were there with his family when they all flew in. <3 The next day we all went to see the ship come in and greet the rest of his people. Did I say it was amazing! Have a great time! Cherish the moment!

CheriH, this is really nice news for your husband. My DS is on his last leg in primary, I actually saw him 2 weeks ago in Pensacola and told him if he ever get the chance to do the Tiger cruise I want to go, I do not care about nobody else. Who knows maybe one day...
Comment by CheriH on April 27, 2016 at 6:04pm

I am one happy Mom!  Last week, my DS invited my hubs to join him on the Tiger Cruise this summer.  He is sooo excited and I'm thrilled that he gets to go.  And today, my sweet DIL asked me if I would like to come visit her and go with her to meet the boat when it comes home!  I am so excited to see a homecoming; wondered if I would ever get to see one; and I'm even more thrilled that she invited me!!!!  

Comment by CheriH on March 25, 2016 at 10:11am

He made it!  Twas quite the saga of travel, but it was wonderful to get the email saying he made it and did his first trap within the required time period.  He is settling into squadron life aboard the Stennis.  I have talked to his wife several times and she is handling it well.  The poor puppy dog has quite a road ahead of her for healing. 

Thanks for all your prayers and kind words.  Barb-it does seem like a whirlwind.  It seemed like training would go on forever, but he's finally there.  (I do realize that training is never over...)

Welcome to all our new members...please read and ask questions.  It's therapy to help those on the path behind us. 

I hope all of you have a blessed day and Happy Easter!
