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 June 30, 2011 at 12:59am: Have a great time and enjoy the cooler temps for us! I'm just glad the pool is warm enough for me now :)
I called Bass Pro Shop on Saturday to see if they had 550, they were sold out & he said they can't keep it stock. Who knew?1 Lol

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 30, 2011 at 12:07am: Occurs to me that my son's ship was on a humanitarian mission, so lots of time ashore setting up clinics etc, that may be why the stuff came in so handy.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 30, 2011 at 12:06am: Jane, I got more too! Red and black, but was hoping for Navy camo. Did you go to the store on Main in Mesa? My son says they do use it for a lot of things - hanging stuff up, tying things down etc. There are a lot of sources for buying 550 cord online, too.

Very nice.

Comment by BADma on June 26, 2011 at 5:35pm: I just read the article in the East Valley Tribune about the Blue Star meeting. Exciting!!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 24, 2011 at 1:07am: Our recruiter story ended well, just takes persistence! The recruiters are such a goldmine of good info well into the months after enlistment, so if it takes dropping off cookies or whatever, it's worth it to build a good relationship :)

Comment by ProudGMBarb on June 24, 2011 at 12:27am: Just too funny that we all got right back on here so quickly! Love the pic! Navy Moms are awesome!

It was great meeting each of you...look forward to many more fun times together. Making the survival bracelets was neat...after I got the hang of it that is!

Thanks Marcy for letting us know about the Aug 7 event. Keep us posted!

Good night everyone!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 24, 2011 at 12:14am: I had the best time!! At the BSM meeting all made "survival bracelets" out of 550 cord as a fund raiser. I think we represented well :) Loved meeting you all, Yay Navy moms!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 23, 2011 at 3:01pm: If it helps, it's in the Mesa Riverview shopping area on Dobson :) Carl's Jr is D37 on this map Carls Jr at Mesa Riverview see you all @ 5 pm!
