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?

Ok, will someone else please post on here?   I have just talked to myself for the last 3 posts.  :)

We have a lot of February birthday ladies.  Make sure you check Yahoo group for addresses.  If you haven't received an invitation to our private Yahoo group, please pm either Lori-Groton, Nancy or me and we will send you an invitation to join it.  You can then see the calendar with all of the birthdays and if you click on the sailor's name, you will see their addresses.

Did anyone's sailor ever find out if they were going to be reimbursed for any portion of their A school flight yet?  A asked his Yeoman weeks ago and he said it didn't sound too promising.  :(  I will have to remind him to look into it again.
Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 28, 2011 at 6:12pm

Sent out A's birthday box today!  I jammed it full with some goodies and his boxers.  LOL  

Won't be on chat tonight, but I hope to "see" some of you on there this weekend.  Have a great weekend all my wonderful friends. :)

A said he didn't think there was a problem with his, but he would check it.
