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 LesCorpsmanmama on January 4, 2011 at 11:37pm: CJ that cracked me up about the TP but the love is definitly in the detail! I love that one. Thanks :D

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on January 4, 2011 at 10:49pm: I know...talk about "Duh" moment LOL...ALL THIS TIME, I had no idea!!!! And now I just noticed I am not "cindy" up top either I am..."WuggyDip" I have no idea what I am doing different every time I log in here!!

@Penny, I loved your sending Blank Cards idea...I am going to send a "Happy Birthday Mom" card to see if he remembers to send it on the right day :)!!!! I am mailing CJ's Birthday card tomorrow!!

Betsy, I was wondering the other day if that bread had to be refrigerated :)!!

Comment by CJ's Mom on January 4, 2011 at 10:41pm: You all are so funny!! I am off like a prom dress.... I want to work on my quilt and finish watch some Numbers have a great evening

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 4, 2011 at 10:35pm: Cindy, I am laughing now because you didn't realize all that time, that it was a fridge. lol

Btw, I tried to do the egg nog bread today. It was a big ole flop. I think the altitude made it a bust. It had so much egg nog in it, that it took a lot longer to bake. I then had a "duh" moment hit me. It has to be refrigerated after you make it. I had these horrible visions of all of A's friends (and A) getting salmonella poisoning after eating it. I didn't want that responsibility on myself either. lol

Comment by ElizabethC on January 4, 2011 at 10:21pm: I can't imagine how families got through these experiences years ago modern technology is wonderful not only can I talk to my son I can see him at the same time. And if not for the Internet I would never have meet all my wonderful N4M friends who have all given me great support throughout my Navy experience...thank you everyone for picking me up when I was crumbling and big HUGS to Nancy that put up with me yesterday while I was being a major worry wart :0)

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on January 4, 2011 at 10:14pm: OMG I am laughing so hard at ROSE...That is totally something I would do (but not sure I would admit it LOL)!! Way to go :)...I for one am so proud of you, ((hugs))...totally normal, us 'mom's are always doing 10 things at once...YAY, your human lol!! And, like Penny...if it were my son...he would have covered his eye's with both hands, shook his head while screaming..."MOM!!!" :)

Also LMAO because all this time I had NO idea that was a 'fridge' up top...and when Betsy was talking about "getting our fridge working' ...I kept thinking I was reading it wrong. NOW seeing it, oh yep...its a fridge we can add notes too LOL!!! I am SO SLOW!

Thanks ladies, when I am having a bad day...I always know I can come here for a smile...if not a good old laugh out loud!!!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 4, 2011 at 10:12pm: Awww, Elizabeth I'm so glad that you are feeling better. Isn't Skype the best invention ever?

I also texted my A this morning It was a picture of the snow that we had today. :)

Comment by ElizabethC on January 4, 2011 at 10:09pm: Hi everyone...I feel so much better today spoke to T yesterday and today on skype he showed me his room...Nancy I saw IB in a blur when T was showing me their room. I love that are boys are together they seem to be getting along great. I woke up this morning and sent T a text message wishing him a good first day guess why because I could...haha what a big big difference from BC.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 4, 2011 at 10:07pm: Oh it was, Nancy? Thank you so much. It said SD on it, so I thought it was Penny.
