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."

Thanks, sharon, for the geography lesson, as I am geographically challenged. Haha
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Hope thanksgiving on the ship is good.

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on November 20, 2012 at 10:44pm: Congratulations to Stephen!

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on November 20, 2012 at 9:16pm: So proud of our daughter Katie, she is now a DC2 (SW/AW)!!!

Comment by hunter's mom kyann HOOYAH on November 19, 2012 at 3:54pm: so, exactly when are the december leaves? are there 2? is there one in november? i'm new to this kinda stuff, so, please, fill me in. thanks!

i, too, sent a box to hunter in the mail today. his birthday is dec 6, hoping it makes it there for that. we'll celebrate here, too, if he gets to come home.

Comment by Mary n Jesse on November 18, 2012 at 7:52pm: Sharon, prayers and hugs for your mom and your family. Hope she is feeling better!

TrueBlue, Jesse has flights for mid-December and I talk to him every day on email and he hasn't said anything about the possibility of not making is flight. Don't worry (at least not yet).

Kyann, keep the faith! I'm hoping and praying Hunter can come home too!

Mailing a box in the morning to the ship. Hope it gets there before 1st leave, but if not, it'll keep. Just little stockings of candy for him and his shop friends and some of his snacks. (including his hostess mini muffins. haven't had the heart yet to tell him about hostess).

Comment by hunter's mom kyann HOOYAH on November 17, 2012 at 10:16pm: Sharon, thinking and praying for your mom.
Cute cartoon, menchord, thanks for sharing.
I tell you, I'm probably going to be an emotional wreck until i hear for sure that Hunter will be coming home. I almost lost it this morning when I saw the folger's commercial where the girl puts the bow on her brother who came home and says "you're my present this year." Probably would have lost it if he had been a Military guy...ugh...just too emotional for me right now.
Hope you all have a great week and a Happy Thanksgiving!

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on November 17, 2012 at 9:53pm: Sharon, So glad to hear your mother is improving.

We just celebrated my Mom's 85th on the 13th and I know how much worse they are at that age just fighting off a cold, so pneumonia has to be so much harder. Prayers will continue.

Comment by cathyo Ship 11 Div 063 on November 17, 2012 at 7:51am: Sorry, Sharon, to hear your mom is back in the hospital. I too will keep her in my prayers. Safe travels home!
