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."

Since we are now able to send packages, wouldn't it be great if we shared our creative ideas of what we intend to send to our sailors?

My daughter is newly stationed at Goose Creek. I'm glad I found this site. My navigating skills around this area are rough. Any suggestions about how to communicate more efficiently?

H said they were working out and she was sweating. I told her she had better get some sunscreen

I thought NEX was supposed to have great deals
Comment by NC_Susan on December 29, 2010 at 6:53pm
D said the TVs at the NEX were more expensive than he thought they would be. He had looked at some at home and they were priced better.
Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 29, 2010 at 6:53pm

Wendi, that is so funny.  How could they be messy coming out of BC?  lol

Lori, I guess our A's like to be comfy.  lol 

Comment by NC_Susan on December 29, 2010 at 6:34pm
Lol Wendi. Good for her! I will have to check with D about his boxer situation:)
Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 29, 2010 at 6:30pm
H said she requested a room change because her other room mate and quad mates were messy (who's daughter is this?) and she doesn't want to lose points for a messy room.

Reading your post Betsy cracks me up - just got off the phone with A and he wants me to go to target and get him more white boxers - the ones at the NEX are $13.00 each and targets were $5.00 each.
Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 29, 2010 at 4:56pm

Cindy, That's great that he is showing the campus.  I have asked A to send me some, but I'm still waiting.  Although I did get to see his room last night and meet his roommate via Skype.  That is really funny about the laundry.  lol  I bet he is really good at it now.    

I forgot to add that A thanked me continously for his new boxer shorts and socks that I gave him for Christmas.  He said the boxers are sooooo comfortable and wants me to send him more of the same in my next care package.  Who would have thought that a gift of underwear and socks would really be appreciated.  lol

Hello Ladies! SO GLAD to hear all our boys are settling in! E sent some really awesome pictures today but said I shouldn't share because he didn't know if it was "OK" or not! He is back to good health HooooRah, still that little cough too though!! He is loving Pensacola...but his roommate has not showed up yet? Chatted with him a little last night...guess what, he was doing laundry Ha HA!! A little lighter loads these days though...just his ;o)!! Does anyone else find it odd that they have to buy their own laundry detergent, I guess they would if they were in college though huh!?? E said the same thing Susan...light duty and phase 1 Liberty and a few musters...otherwise they are on their own until School starts next week! He is awaiting the TV and video gaming console I sent...hope they arrive today or tomorrow! I LOL at your comment Susan about the alligators!! E is in building B!!
