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."

Event Description

Because many of us aren't able to meet the night before at the Ramada I found that we could meet at the Visitors Center right on base following graduation. From what I understand from Public Affairs this is close to a small eatery also so if anyone wanted to do lunch they could. It's also a great place to meet up with our sailor. This is very casual and informal and for anyone who wants to attend. I will be making name tags so if you are going to attend and want one let me know. Email me your personal info, first and last name, sailors name, ship and division and hometown and state.

Thanks Jakesmom for doing the tags! I know that I am going to be so EXCITED my memory will go out the window. So the name tags will be terrific.

Lori- I will be leaving around 6:30/6:45??? We are driving in from the Navy Lodge and it's only about 3 miles away. AND since we are a smaller PIR group, my understanding is that we shouldn't have much line to get through the gates.

What time are YOU leaving?!?!
Comment by lori on May 18, 2010 at 4:59pm
Thank goodness for cell phones! Do you know what time you will be leaving from the Navy Lodge for the base on thur morning?
Comment by Mar ProudSailorMom on May 18, 2010 at 4:04pm
Lori- we can plan to meet in advance. You know what I look like, so we can just find a place that works and meet there. We also have cell phones!

I can help hand them out "day of" if that helps too!

thanks Katie for doing this. There will be 3 of us.
Can't wait to meet ALL of you- but I still would like -if at all possible- to get each of you that can't make it to M&G a corsage in your sons div color. So if there is a
gate we go in or something? No idea how this will work but I got the flowers.

And I was thinking your home town and State
Comment by Jakesmom on May 18, 2010 at 3:22pm
FYI: I'll be making name tags so we can easily identify each other. If anyone wants me to make one add me as a friend and send me first and last name of those attending and sons/husband/daughters name and ship and division.
Comment by Jakesmom on May 18, 2010 at 1:12pm
Great it will be wonderful to meet you all....I'm doing up name tags of those that want one. If your interested send personal info via email.

Thanks, katie
Comment by Mar ProudSailorMom on May 18, 2010 at 1:09pm
