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 Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 2, 2011 at 10:20pm: Oh by the way - our Sunday party is up to 45 confirmed attending!!!!!!!

Yay Navy moms, we ROCK!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 2, 2011 at 10:14pm: Anita, try this:

After you click the "Image" icon above and have selected your photo, you'll see a message box pop up (see below). In the box marked "Width" there will be a number. Delete it and add your own (I changed this one from 750 to 400 pixels) and then click "OK."

Your photo will appear in the "Add comment" box at a reasonable size.

If you want to make it a bit smaller, click on the photo and a small box will appear beneath it that says "Edit/Delete." If you click on "Edit," you'll be able to adjust that width number until you get a size you like.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on August 2, 2011 at 4:02pm: speaking of pictures...

Joyce Tucson Mom...are you out there? Are you still the moderator/creator of this group? I tried sending you a message a couple times to ask if I could resize the picture at the top of this group page. It needs to be resized for the forum. I would be happy to do it, but need your permisssion.

It is currently 2816 x 2212 pixels and 300 dpi, and a lage 1.5MB in file size. This causes it to appear long and stretched out. Depending on the browser people use, it can look crazy.

I'd be happy to help. Please let me know if I have your permission. I'll send it back to you and you can repost it.

Comment by Anita on August 2, 2011 at 3:58pm: Thanks, ProudGMBarb! Am about to have lunch, will do so soon.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on August 2, 2011 at 3:52pm: Anita.. the pic comes out huge because it is in its original size. It needs to be about 446 pixels wide (6.2 inches) and at 72 dpi. If you email it to me, I will resize it accordingly to post it here, and I can either post it for you, or email it back to you!

I'll send you a friend request with my email address.

Comment by Anita on August 2, 2011 at 11:42am: I would like to download a photo of my son at his "Welcome Home" party at Barros Pizza at the US 60 and Power, but I can't figure out how to do it. I tried, but the photo was HUGE and I didn't want to overpower everyone. Any clues? Thanks. Oh, and he is definitely not in uniform!

Comment by Anita on August 2, 2011 at 11:20am: Fantastic! You are doing a great job in getting this all put together and organized, Marcy! Kudos to you!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 2, 2011 at 10:41am: Happy Tuesday! Get ready for this - as of today, we have 40 "yes" RSVPs for our party this Sunday!! Yep, FORTY!!! This is going to be great!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on August 1, 2011 at 10:12pm: Marcy...Thanks..good to know...those crockpots get kinda heavy when full!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 1, 2011 at 10:05pm: And by the way, Bass Pro Shop has shopping carts and an elevator, so bringing stuff in will be easy. The room is upstairs and to the right :)
