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."

Good Morning Cynday my son mentioned that Monday which is today he will be going to school, so we will see what happens. He also said that he found some postings so that he will be checking it to see if they post anything about Thanksgiving, so give your Sailor a heads up to check whatever posting they have. Have a Great Monday!

Good Morning Ladies it is Monday, hope all is well. Spoke to my son this weekend he was just going to chill in the room this weekend and do some laundry. although him and some buddies got to watch boxing this sat. Canelo vs triple G, was good fight if you are into Boxing....we usually get the boxing and have friends and family over so my son was happy to be part of the guys who were able to watch it. He did mention to me that Dec. 20th school lets out and that he would be getting in between wed. or Friday. He also mentioned that he would be able to stay up until New Years Eve. so that gives me a at least a week or so time with him. Hope you all here from your Sailors and make arrangements for the Holidays! Have a great day Ladies.
