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."

I accidently quit "following" this group. I was wondering why no one was posting in here and then I found out why!!! LOL

Anyway, just in case you haven't heard, I've started a "Tucson Moms" group and I'd like to invite you all to join! The more the merrier... :)

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on February 22, 2009 at 5:33pm: Joan, it's my understanding your son's division will get to "hear" about SPAWAR. That may be the extent of the perks... :(
It's the Navy's way of exposing our soon to be Sailors to all the different components of the Navy....

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on February 16, 2009 at 12:48pm: the jelly bean factory is in Pleasant Prairie,WI. which is south of Kenosha, maybe alittle to the west. Haven't been there yet! It's the jelly bellies. It would'n t be that far to go.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on February 16, 2009 at 12:42am: Joan, when they open the doors and you see the division march, you will be glad that you made it, cold or not.
That is one of the most precious memories that I have.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on February 15, 2009 at 11:04pm: yep, you can never tell with the lake effect. Milwaukee is notorius for having spring snow storms. as late as May. And plan for wind. that lake wind is cold.
take a variety of clothing and you should be covered.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on February 15, 2009 at 10:54pm: Congrats Cathy! This is such an exciting time. Joan, don't count on it! My son graduated on 4-7-06. That day we had rain, sleet, and snow. It was so cold! the next day it was sunny, but very chilly-at least to this Arizonan. and I grew up in Milwaukee. So take warm clothes.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on February 13, 2009 at 12:21pm: Thanks Staci and it was fun planning both of the blitz's. I realized one day after talking to my DIL that she was basically "deployed" too-meaning that her life was different too with Ben being gone. And that's when I got the idea. They both really liked it.
I worked at Curves at the time and I was touched by how many of the ladies sent cards to my DIL. She got more than Ben, but I wasn't working anymore by his birthday.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on February 12, 2009 at 11:45pm: Oh, and I told people to start mailing at the beginning of the month. His birthday is mid month, but that way it was spread out. He emailed me one day and said "are you doing one of those blitz things for my birthday?" cause the cards had started to arrive. DIL's birthday was first.
