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."

He left out the "I love Mom" part of the tattoo… LOL

Comment by Nancy on May 14, 2011 at 9:01pm: Lori, trying to post to FB right now...

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on May 14, 2011 at 7:03pm: Nancy - that is really neat that IB's bro designed and that they got mom's approval! Can you post a pic or describe??

Comment by Nancy on May 14, 2011 at 3:02pm: I am going to post this on our yahoogroups calendar when you hear back from a few more people. To remind us…I get busy and then remember when all is done. Sad..but true!!

So IB went and got a tattoo yesterday…sent me a photo of it when it was finished. His brother designed it, and got my approval before sending it on, so it looks nice. IB is happy, and that is what matters most.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on May 13, 2011 at 8:47pm: ya know, I thought it looked very idle but didn't realize comments were missing. Hmmmmm I am proposing that we chat at the following time:

9:00 EST - 8:00 CST - 7:00 MST - 6:00 PST

Sound Good? If not, we can made an adjustment.

Comment by Nancy on May 13, 2011 at 8:55am: Lori-have you noticed that some things have disappeared from our chat board? I left a message for you and it is gone now. And your comment is gone too.

Monday night… after 6 would be best for me. I know that makes it 9 for EST…is that OK for you ladies?

Comment by phoebe stg2 on May 12, 2011 at 8:21pm: Mondays would work for me... I don't want to loose all of you because we are off with our rate group or Molly's or whatever... I just am really bad about remembering things when I haven't got them in my normal schedule. I'm MST. So after 7pm ...

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on May 12, 2011 at 8:11pm: A few of us are talking about arranging a chat date and time on Monday night - for those who are interested, let me know what time might work best (include your time zone).

Comment by Terry_T_Tuckersmom on May 9, 2011 at 9:34am: Lori-how awesome they look great and I bet they look nice at night!!!

Penny-that is an awesome mothers day gift to open the door and see your Sailor on the doorstep!!!

I spent the day with my 15 year old and my great nephew and my sailor called me then I was on my facebook and he decided to skype with me.That was a surprise as he has been doing 12 hour watch days.

Hope you all had a wonderful Mothers Day!!!

Comment by Nancy on May 8, 2011 at 10:43pm: Penny!!! How wonderful for you and what a delightful Mother's Day present! You are lucky… I am hoping to see my sailor in a couple of weeks when he comes home to go to the Prom.

Thanks Phoebe…Mine was great, hope yours was good too!!
