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."

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on January 5, 2011 at 10:10am: I also did not get addresses in my inbox.

Comment by Terry_T_Tuckersmom on January 5, 2011 at 7:00am: Talked to my son yesterday,the nerves were getting hte best of him as he is waiting to class up.He does not do well with the waiting thing.He is one of those that has to get busy doing things.He was very depressed I tried to cheer him up but to no avail so I had our neighbor call him(he is a very close family friend)and he got motivated by his call.Love the fact tha I can talk to him everyday that is such a great helpand his roomate has been there since September so he is going to show him around.

Mochi-I will check my mail for that

Comment by MarylandMom on January 5, 2011 at 5:58am: you ladies were very busy last nite ! I had 4 pages to read this am !!

Investigator is coming this afternoon at 4:30. Said it would take about 15 min. Wanting some dateson when he lived at home,college,employment. I guess making sure he was always accounted for idk !!

I like the idea of sending them cards for them to mail back out for birthdays, etc. Problem is, mine is this Sunday. He wouldnt get it in time to remail !! Oh well !

Comment by MarylandMom on January 5, 2011 at 5:43am: hi Betsy,

No addresses were sent to me. Just checked my inbox !! ~Donna~

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 5, 2011 at 2:33am: Thanks, Nancy, Sara did send me her sailors address, so I have added him to our list.

I did send a message to all in the group today with Penny's & Sara's sailors' addresses. I hope everyone got it. I don't have an address for Lisa's sailor yet, but her sailor's birthday is January 17.

Comment by Nancy on January 5, 2011 at 2:17am: Elizabeth, you can thank me, BUT I will probably benefit far more from this roomie situation than you will. My son is the WORST communicator on this site. We'll see how long it takes him to video chat with me.
Lori-I am glad you are feeling better!!
Rose-I can SO identify with your mistake, I do that kind of stuff all the time!
Cindy-the TP idea is so funny, it's the little things!! and sheets are a good idea too, I'm picky...I wonder if the pillows are good too?
Betsy-regarding the fridge, you are totally welcome. I didn't get to chat or anything because we went on a day trip, and I was on my phone on this site when Norm was driving, and he was saying, "What are you doing?" cuz the light was bothering him, so I stopped. LOL
Everyone, I added Sara's son T to the birthday list, same day. Betsy, did she send you the address, cuz I have it if you don't.
Good Night all, it was a blast to go back and read all the comments, you have been so busy!!
Nancy
