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 Leann on August 10, 2012 at 7:14pm: Love the pics, also. Just started checking flights for Charleston for Power School graduation in November - hard to believe he's been in for over a year. Still tear up when I read the posts about PIR.

Comment by NancyS on August 9, 2012 at 10:28pm: Love the pictures Jane, MM Mom. I can't imagine what all will happen in the next 2 years. Always a Mom I talked to my sailor tonight and told him I missed his letters! It's nice that he can call from his Aschool. I think he is finally getting "classed up" tomorrow so maybe classes will start on Monday.

Comment by spyder013 on August 9, 2012 at 9:56pm: Way to go Victoria!
And awesome pics Jane, happy anniversary!

Comment by NavyMom2008 on August 8, 2012 at 12:03pm: I am excited to announce that I am working to start a Pinal County Chapter of Blue Star Mothers of America! If you are not familiar with this incredible organization, take a moment and visit, www.bluestarmothers.org. In a nutshell, We are mothers (grandmothers, step-mothers, foster-mothers or legal guardians) of Military Service Members.

In order to start the chapter I need 5 women that would not only be interested in joining but also serving as an officer. I would like to set up a informational meeting in late August to get the ball rolling. With the upcoming holiday season approaching, I would like for us to make our name with serving our service members. Please email me at Victoriamartin08@ymail.com and put Blue Star Moms in the subject line.
