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."

Hi Rae,

We just made a reservation at the Navy Lodge as well.   Looking forward to it. Now trying to decide on the Meet and Greet decision and book airline tickets.   K

Hi Raeleen,

Good evening or I guess morning as it is 1:00 AM here.   I worked really late this evening....  Finally,  I have a weekend where I can focus on making arrangements.  I am going to work on tomorrow making arrangements.   I am thinking the Navy Lodge if that cheap and has a shuttle.

Why Flannagans over Sarges?  I keep hearing folks really encouraging Sarges.   What are your thoughts between the 2?

Good morning to you too.  On Flannigans  - we have been reading all comments posted and that seems like a good thing to plan to do.  I am frankly a little overwhelmed with the details of this planning right now with the emotional overlay at the moment on top of the demands of my job.  Plus my other son was in crisis last week.  I am now back from that - catching up at work (was at work  until 10:00 last night and heading back now) - and hoping to take my whole weekend to plan this out.   We will probably fly SW into Milwaukie. (cheaper), rent a car and drive in..  Not sure about where to stay.... Open to suggestions.  and then Flannigans sounds like a nice option.  Keep me posted on what you are doing and we may follow suit.   Have a great day!

HI Raeleen,

I see that we both have son's who are in the same Ship / Div.  What a ride huh?  My son just turned 20 so they are about the same age.   He tried a year of college and decided that it was not for him.   We have not heard from him at all since the 30 sec scripted call on Nov. 28th and some texts en route.   Kid in the Box - still on the kitchen table.  Bedroom still a mess / left exactly as he left it.  Some day I will get in there to clean it...  We live in Corvallis Oregon.  My other son just graduated from the Univ. of Utah this past May though is a young man on the autism spectrum / Aspergers.....He keeps us hoping with his issues which at the moment is a nice distraction.  Kathy
