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 Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 8, 2009 at 8:49pm: I will talk to my husband about it. I'd love to talk to someone like.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on April 8, 2009 at 1:05am: Navy Lodge. It's new; $60 night, no taxes; 2 queen beds; microwave, refrig; very close to base. Not far from restaurants, malls, etc. I stayed there and really liked it.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 4, 2009 at 6:14pm: Lori, take lots of kleenex and be prepared to be wowed! Also, take a variety of clothes. My son's PIR was 4-7-06. We had rain, sleet, and snow that day. It was cold.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on April 2, 2009 at 12:07am: they sure do, unless they are real tall. I always thought mine was tall, but there were taller ones.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on March 30, 2009 at 10:51pm: Hi Debbie,
I was really happy and excited for my son! He spent 2 years in college and was just floundering here. This is a good experience for him. Send him lots of mail. He kept count of how many letters he got from each person.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on March 19, 2009 at 2:43pm: and congrats to you both!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on March 19, 2009 at 2:42pm: take lots of kleenex and some cash. there is a souvenir table set up in the hallway and cash only. that's where I got my dixie cup.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on March 3, 2009 at 5:09pm: Suzann: I know there are a few NM moms. One is in Albuqurue (sp) and the other is near Santa Fe. As soon as I get their names, I'll pass them on to you! But you are always welcome to stay here with us since you are "close". My hubby drove the train from Tucson to El Paso for years and passed through Las Cruces. And I have 2 second cousins attending college in Las Cruses! And you are NOT the land of entrapment....lol, lol I've always enjoyed NM.....I was just thinking of the caverans me dad took us to when we were kids. They were soooo cool!

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on February 27, 2009 at 12:44am: Jenny, thanks for the head's up!!!! I didn't even look at the flyer this week. :)

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on February 26, 2009 at 6:51pm: I will bring it to the next function that I attend. it is wonderful to look at all of our sailors. They all have professional photos in it, like a year book. it's just beatiful. I bet Bryan and your husband had fun looking thru it.
