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 ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on January 30, 2011 at 10:36am: Hello all...

N shared that they are going to start their security clearance interview and I was remembering the mom who shared last fall that when they showed up to interview her, she was in a clown suit...does anyone else remember that? N said, "oh Mom, please don't be in a clown suit!" hahaha!

Have a great day everyone! :)

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on January 30, 2011 at 9:11am: Plane Fare reimbursement - asked A about it and he said he received reimbursement - a little more than 50% of what his ticket cost.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on January 30, 2011 at 9:10am: @ Susan - enjoy your visit with your sailor. I'm so excited for you!!!! A bit jealous too :-) Will be anxious to hear about your visit with him and a recount of your base tour. Will pray for great weather and safe travels. Good Luck to Bethany!!!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on January 30, 2011 at 9:08am: Its working now Betsy - not sure what I did. @ Penny - so sorry to hear about John's mom. I will keep her as well as your family in my prayers (hugs). WOW - a tatoo! My A hasn't ventured off base so no tatoo yet. Kinda hoping he doesn't (I'm not a tatoo fan - I like the look of clean skin as God gave us). If he does get a tatoo I hope it isn't loud! My BFF has a very tasteful tatoo on her rt. shoulder blade and I love it on her; its just not for me. Sounds like CJ's is respectful and is a representation of him and his faith.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 29, 2011 at 9:04pm: Lori, I wish I knew what to tell you about the chat, but unfortunately I don't know. I hope someone else can help you. You HAVE to be able to get on there.

Penny, Uh oh, I hope Cj's gf isn't too upset about the prom. I'm so sorry to hear that John's mother is so sick. I will keep her in my prayers. ((hugs))

Comment by CJ's Mom on January 29, 2011 at 7:06pm: Well today has been interesting... I went over CJ's pay stuff and he did get extra pay but not so much that he will not get a check. Bad news he does not have neough to get a plan ticket home for his girlfriends Prom... Then he went out and got a tattoo... yep a cross on his upper arm. His girlfriend does not like it. I thought it was okay. A little big for my tastes but it is his arm.

@Betsy... how was those cowboys... I kinda like them boots and tight jeans.

@Susan they want their own wheels so they don't have to walk every where or hitch a ride. I am waiting for CJ to say he wants to buy a car...

Lori we may be coming to Michigan sooner than we thought. John's mom is back in the hospital she has about 5% kidney function and is doing dialsis a three time a week. Honestly it is a matter of time.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on January 29, 2011 at 4:01pm: Hey All - I just got a new laptop and I can't seem to sign into chat - when I try, it just signs me back out. I said to accept pop up blockers from this site but still no go. Anyone else ever had this issue.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 29, 2011 at 1:43pm: Lori, it figures, I am usually checking in on here every night, but last night I was hanging out with some horses, calves and cowboys. lol

Susan, On no, ((hugs)) I'm sure that your visit on base will be awesome! You get to see him in his environment, which should be pretty cool. Good luck with the car.

Comment by NC_Susan on January 29, 2011 at 12:42pm: Haha Betsy. You are too funny. I leave for P'cola on Wednesday but D just told me that his phase 2 hasn't been approved yet! So the only way we will be able to see him is to go on base. I am really disappointed but I guess I should be thankful for what we have :( He also dropped the bomb in me last night that he wants us to bring him his car since he will be there until at least October. I don't even know if that piece of junk will make it all the way to FL! Bryan dropped it off with a mechanic this morning to see what they think.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on January 28, 2011 at 9:51pm: Betsy - love your comment about talking to yourself :-) Just logged in to see if anyone is here - NOPE! Everyone is probably out having a wild Friday night. I have to go get Drew from work anyway. Hope everyone is doing well!
