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 Anita on July 15, 2011 at 10:04pm: Oh, my God, Barb! That was wonderful! Absolutely loved it - I watched it twice. That is one of my all-time favorite marches. Thanks so much.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on July 15, 2011 at 7:50pm: Hey ladies...I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to make mac & cheese OR barbeque beef. Have to see if I can find some good sales on enough beef! Will let you all know for sure in a day or two...time to go shopping! I do make a good mac&cheese too...so don't worry!

Comment by Anita on July 15, 2011 at 1:39pm: Jane - Eric will be stationed on Coronado Island (shore duty) for the next 2 years and plans on getting an apartment! San Diego vacations here I come! He will be stationed with a helicopter unit regarding ordnance. While he is there, he plans on attending college, too.

And thanks, Marcy, I'm excited to have Eric come, too. I told him how everyone is looking forward to meeting some of the sailors who will be attending, and he said, "Well, guess I can't back out now, huh?"

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 15, 2011 at 12:18pm: I swear I posted last night, could I have been to tired to hit "Add comment"? Geez :) I'm loving the potluck contributions, all my favorites!! You guys are too much. How exciting that we have actual sailors coming, too!! Happy moms all around. I've got some great name tags going, so be sure and email a photo of your sailor, his name & rank and where he's stationed (plus your real name of course!). My email: marcy@marcyscott.com

Comment by Diane1954 on July 15, 2011 at 9:17am: Gary & I are planning on coming. We will bring some type of dessert.

Comment by Anita on July 15, 2011 at 12:50am: Oh, and I'll bring a 12-pack of buns, too.

Comment by Anita on July 15, 2011 at 12:46am: Well, Jane, I'll have to look for both you and Becky, and Andy. Have you any idea how long Andy is in town? Does he have to go back to Bahrain? Eric's just thilled he doesn't have to go back to the Reagan - he's had enough of cruises.

Comment by Anita on July 15, 2011 at 12:35am: If it means much, I vote bar-b-q, too. Love it! I can bring a pack of buns, also, if need be.

I'll have to meet up with Becky - Eric flew from Bahrain, also, but he had been on the Reagan. He was flown from the ship to Bahrain, where he was on stand-by for a flight. Eric had three words for Bahrain - hot, hot, hot!
