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 PedALqueen4ever on February 9, 2018 at 12:31pm: Will do a one time delivery of certain items to him(just for back ups..good on the go..protein bars..)

Comment by PedALqueen4ever on February 9, 2018 at 12:30pm: Yayyy! On other side, got upset with Hubby -- he was appointed by our son to do the delivery of this U.S.N young man..-- gave his the address yet he says will wait for his text...-I just responded then, you gotta send that delivery to him .. - finally he took it with him..(Iam trying to remind him my hubby, as of now our son of USN is at fast pace new location + plenty of tasks on duty/schoolworks..-- time hectic for him/energy consuming!)

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 9, 2018 at 11:49am: Hi all - Happy RED shirt Friday! I've got my red on too ;-D

Rime - I bumped a discussion up above with some sightseeing info. I'm sure more will chime in with various suggestions too!

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on February 9, 2018 at 11:01am: NonnaB, so happy to hear your sailor is going to be stateside now. My son will have that same assignment come spring. I bet our boys will work together. How nice is that! Your sailor has had quite the eventful career so far. Let's pray that going forward it will be smooth sailing.

Yup, got my red on! As a mother of one of the deployed, I appreciate it especially. Thanks for the support, Sea Sisters!

I had emailed my son and wondered about the weather in the area of the Pacific they are sailing through. I postulated tropical pleasantness. He responded warm, yes, but not tropical pleasantness. He said more like plantation cotton picking. That kid never fails to make me laugh.

It's Friday, Ladies! Hooyah!

Comment by Rime on February 9, 2018 at 10:57am: Power School Graduation, that is! :-)

Comment by Rime on February 9, 2018 at 10:57am: I know I've seen the answer to this before, but can't remember, and going back through the discussions to find is not easy! So pardon my asking, but can anyone tell me about what time the power school ends so we can try to book a car rental for the remaining and next day? And is there a 'must see' site and a 'Fantastic' Mexican or Italian restaurant to try in or around Charleston? Thanks so much! Only about a month to go! ;-)

Comment by Lazerguppie on February 8, 2018 at 9:13pm: What's the deal with red? I know for heart month (Feb) it's for heart disease. Sure this is not that! LOL

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 8, 2018 at 8:33pm: Don't forget to wear your RED tomorrow!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 8, 2018 at 8:32pm: NonnaB - that's good news for his shore duty - I hope he's happy with it! Hmmmmm that seems like an interesting story of his boat crashing on an underway.....not sure if you can share.... but I'll bet it's a doozy! So glad that Mr. B was able to take a cruise. I'm sure that is a good memory for your son!
