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 Kim (Ethan's Mom) on April 29, 2010 at 4:33pm: Haha dolly. I fill vending machines in state and federal buildings. I work for a blind man. There is a government program for them. I've been doing it for over 9 years.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on April 29, 2010 at 12:14pm: My bad the photos and video weren't dolly's oops

I'm reading all these on my iPhone and my wyes and this screen don't always work right. Well back to work. Someone somewhere is looking for a snickers and diet coke.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on April 29, 2010 at 12:12pm: Dolly, you make me smile. Lol. Thanks for the photos. They're great and the video was funny. You deserve a nap and I'd kinda Luke to see how goofy you get when tired. haha

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 29, 2010 at 10:16am: Dolly, love all the nicknames. thanks! Stephanie, I love that story. I wish my former DIL had read it. She was in no way prepared to be a navy wife.

Dolly, that sounds like a good contact for Stephanie. They can help each other.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 28, 2010 at 11:05am: that's a good one Dolly. It must be spring fever, cause I was a major crab on Monday. haha. I was just tired from my craft fair on Saturday.

when my son deployed 2 years ago, I asked if they got a day off. He said "nope, we work 24/7". And he's right. And those CS personnel, have a never ending job. and they do a great job! keeping that many people fed is a challenge.
what is her favorite meal to work on?

glad to have you back Linda.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on April 28, 2010 at 5:52am: dolly, that is hilarious!!! My daughter lives too far away for me to be around her when she is PMSing and even though I went thru "the change" when I took chemo, I think I still get a little pissy at times. haha

Comment by emme on April 26, 2010 at 6:33pm: my hubby is on the carrier right now... we got a surprise call the other day but the whole conversations was..what? uh? i really appreciated the attempt of his try but really... i hate it..bc it's more annoying then anything..bittersweet.
my sailor is adjusting to a new shift and running a new dept.. so I've only gotten a few emails..but i love that they are more heart felt then before. he and my son are emailing for the first time..our son is 5 (we also have a 2 year old girl) its sweet. this is the first time our daugher has really noticed dad's gone and looking for him. it's sweet and heartbreaking watching my oldest explain it to her!

Comment by Marty Mc on April 26, 2010 at 6:14pm: Dollyslaffin- it wasn't even his cell phone, it was his supervisor's. His cell phone was not even in service the last time I tried (which sort of freaked me out!) ("Uh, son, next time you change/cancel your phone...uh, warn your family!")
CSMom-yes, hubby is doing well! Thanks for the prayers, always need lots of those.

Comment by Marty Mc on April 26, 2010 at 11:09am: CSMom- thanks for the acronym/abbreviation help. Next ? if they move up in rank E1 - E2 after 9 months serving, when does the 9 months start? After BC? Thanks. Our son called (briefly) this weekend! Checked on his Dad's post-op. Hard to have a conversation... loud, static, etc. Is it always like that?

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on April 26, 2010 at 8:02am: Ladies, I don't know if you get on Facebook, but there is a page for the Lincoln and today they posted a video called The Boat Show and they show a lot of people giving a shout out to their families and such. Just thought you might want to check it out. Have a great day. I'm off to work!
