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 nanny2 on February 26, 2011 at 3:59pm: Cindy, How sweet. Your E sounds a lot like my D, when you least expect it you get, " I miss you mom" or " I love you mom." I hope you can find a way to go, sounds like you both need it. Praying that you do. I have to say it brought tears when I read it, plus I got a text this morning saying "I love you mom." I was already weepy before, today is my D's bday. Enough of that. E will love San Diego. Congrats to E, yay that he will get to come home.

Betsy Is head spinning this morning? Congrats again! I have found 1 site with the larger frame, nwfonline.com. Hope everyone has a great wknd.

WAY TO GO BETSY so happy you sold the house...wish I could come help you pack! Welcome home Phoebe...my E will be off to San Diego at the end of March and I cannot wait to visit him there.

E phoned Thursday and Yesterday :)! Thursday's call was to tell me HE PASSED the final in the top 3 of his class for Core, Graduation is Monday, SO proud of him. Yesterdays call was to tell me He will be done with next phase March 18th and be able to come home for 9 days, before reporting to Sand Diego. He is pretty sure, but he will know more on Monday. He wants me to come and visit on the 18th to see Graduation and then spend the week-end lounging on Pensacola Beach with him and then fly home with him (*tear...he DOES miss mom)!! He said "mom, you need to get away even for a few days...Pensacola's Beach is Beautiful you need to see it!" Now, trying to figure out if I can swing it $$ wise!!!!
