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."

Suzie, sending prayers your way. That's a whole lot to handle. I'm so sorry to hear.

Judy, very cool. My DS was there this year. I'm happy to think that there were some moms there keeping a warm eye on things!

Hoping all the SERE attendees (and there families) are doing well.

Take care everyone!

It was so much fun (and too many hours on my feet.)

Ladies, we just returned from Tailhook in Reno. You can be so proud of our community of Naval aviators. It is so amazing to see all ages and levels greet each other and interact. It was truly a heartwarming experience. Although my DS is deployed, so many of his friends came by to see my husband and myself. They are amazing individuals who take care of each other and look out for the families of those deployed.

We were able to attend as we an exhibitor working with a friend who has been a great mentor for our DS and a wonderful friend.

We are hanging out with the grandkids this weekend. The grown ups are at Tailhook. Their house is on the final approach to the airfield. Jets and helos, low and loud. They make the window blinds rattle. My husband is in heaven.

Jn/Jf Mom your DS should be finished with SERE by now. Mine is two weeks behind him. He left for SERE this past weekend. Just before he left he had a sore toe that the Dr. said looked like it was infected. He soaked it, but said he can't take antibiotics during SERE. He soaked it and it improved. My thoughts are constantly with him, but I am thankful that they do this and prepare them.

After SERE he will begin his training in Jacksonville on the P3 Orion. Although there was some initial disappointment that he didn't get the fancy new P8, he's now actually excited that he will need to use all of his pilot skills to fly the old turboprop. Anyone else in Jacksonville? So far he and his GF love it there so far. That will make it more difficult to leave and go to Whidby next year.

Suzie -- woo hoo!!  

Thanks everyone for the prayers & well wishes RE: SERE.  I'm not really worried cuz i know thousands have gone before him, and it's great training to have.  That being said, i'll be happy to receive a Snap at the end of next week :)

That was for CheriH, not Cherishing. Sorry about not checking the autocorrect.
