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 NancyS on May 31, 2012 at 12:03am: ProudGMBarb -- enjoyed the video! Thanks!

snoogeroo -- my SR just left on 5/15. His PIR is 7/13. This site has been a life saver for me! We live in Mesa.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on May 30, 2012 at 3:51pm: You may have seen this before...but it's always heartwarming because all us moms want our military sons/daughters to be cared for:

Comment by snoogeroo on May 30, 2012 at 1:16am: Im in the Deer Valley area of North Phoenix. My son leaves for boot camp July 6th.

Comment by NancyS on May 27, 2012 at 2:22am: Wow thanks ProudGMBarb. What a wonderful tribute for Memorial Day.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on May 26, 2012 at 11:37pm: A very nicely done restoration and sweet tribute.

Restored from film taken 67 Years Ago along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender.

Way back when with Kodachrome 16mm film !

Comment by NancyS on May 25, 2012 at 9:31am: Jane, yes I would be interested in Blue Star Mothers of America. I'm up for meeting too. Do you usually meet at a restaurant?

Comment by Diana in Az on May 25, 2012 at 1:04am: I life in Peoria and would love to meet up. But not early on a Saturday, I dont do well early in the mornings, maybe around 1pm. I work Saturday night so that wont work well for me.

Comment by NancyS on May 24, 2012 at 11:56pm: Thanks for the welcome! I live in Mesa, but my SR was living in Denver when he signed up so he left from there. Funny thing... I started the page for our PIR group -- don't know what got into me, but I'm hoping to learn a lot. My son's rating is Aviation Electrician/Aviation Electronic Technician (I think I got that right). His A school is in Pensacola. Thanks for the airport advice. Do you think I need to book the hotel now? Any suggestions?

Comment by spyder013 on May 24, 2012 at 3:56pm: Silverado, I am also in peoria;-). A get together would be great, especially if on a weekend and wherever works for me. :-)
