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 Tabitha on January 5, 2010 at 4:12pm: And monkey is doing good-napping at the moment! He keeps saying, let's go to the hotel to see daddy! It's so sweet but still sucks b/c we can't see him for a while again :P

Comment by Tabitha on January 5, 2010 at 4:11pm: I sure hope so! He is @ the USO in Dallas airport! He said there are a handful of them still waiting on flights out! Sure hope he doesn't spend the night there and gets settled-they need a good nights rest!!

Comment by Brenda Sue on January 5, 2010 at 3:01pm: I do enjoy living in Texas during the winter months. My dad and brother live in Montana (dad is in a trailer) - and I would not like that at ALL!! Their pipes freeze and stay that way for weeks!

haha - it is funny to listen to the weather people this week. We are having a HUGE cold spell this weekend. It is supposed to be in the 20's. There are so many warnings going out because of the "Three P's" plants, pets and pipes.
You would think that we never had any cold weather. We just don't have it often enough for people to remember these things.

I am about 5 hours from San Antonio - but I would be glad to help if any kid needs it!!

Comment by Tabitha on January 5, 2010 at 2:57pm: Matt is on standby in Dallas! This sucks!!!

Comment by Tabitha on January 5, 2010 at 1:19pm: Matt is an MA also! He was leaving base @ 0200 and was supposed to arrive in SA @ noon but his flight to SA was canceled! BUMMER

Comment by Tabitha on January 5, 2010 at 1:11am: Matt told me they were leaving base @ 0200 and should arrive in SA around noon! Can't wait to get this over with! LOL

Comment by Tabitha on January 4, 2010 at 11:16am: Tess:they were flying out @ 2:30am?? My hubby said they hadn't gotten their final orders yet-they were supposed to get those today and fly out early tomorrow? HHMM

Comment by Brenda Sue on January 4, 2010 at 10:02am: Yea, the thing about weather in Texas is that we do get cold - but it only stays for a day or two. It is supposed to be REALLY cold (for us) Thursday (20's) and through the weekend. But I bet it will be back up to the 50's next week.

Comment by TexasDocMom on January 4, 2010 at 1:27am: While it's not the Great Lakes, it's cold here,this coming weekend we'll be in the 20's at night in Central Texas.

I don't know what quarters are like there. They don't have quarters for the corpsman instructors coming in, so my son and his buddy have an off base apartment...and he's bought himself a brand new bed, he's pretty happy. Also a big TV. I'll never see him now!

Comment by Tabitha on January 4, 2010 at 12:26am: Hey Tess!!! Yep, my sailor heads to SA on Tuesday! I am so proud of him! I pray he really enjoys school and does well! PIR was AMAZING!
