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."

Blondie,

Sounds like lots going on!!

Wow, we just got a downpour here in eastern San Diego.  It's more desert here than over by the coast, so they sure can use it and more for that matter!!  We are right next to a creek but it is nothing but a dry river bed right now!!  I can't get over how dusty everything is!!  You see cars that have been parked for awhile and they are covered by brown dust!!!

JayDee,

Let's hope they can get me on a schedule to do the repair work!!!  I go see benefits tomorrow to register in San Diego's system and hopefully get a doctor's appointment.  That will determine if I wait to get a referral from a primary care doctor or just go to the hospital ER.  I'll keep you posted!!!!!

Comment by JayDee659 on October 20, 2016 at 5:51pm
Anna - hooray on getting the knee fixed! Follow instructions and you'll be up and at it in no time!

B'sNukeMom- I think you should join us. You can borrow one of my daughters if you wish but as far as I'm concerned you're welcome here. We're all moms of sailors!
