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 October 30, 2011 at 10:12pm: Smiles for you, Barb!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on October 30, 2011 at 7:35pm: Thanks Jane and Anita! I don't know who is more excited...him or me! lol.

Jane, the home port is Sasebo, Japan.

Just can't wait to see him for Thanksgiving. It's been a whole year! And yes...I foresee some quick trips to SD in the near future!

Comment by Anita on October 30, 2011 at 7:24pm: Barb - so happy for you! I love having my son in San Diego - 5 1/2 hours and he is here or we are there! And I love San Diego! However, I have no idea how long ET C school is. Sorry.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on October 30, 2011 at 7:15pm: NEWS FLASH!

Our ETSN got orders for "C" school in San Diego! Reports Dec. 2. After that will be attached to the USS Germantown (LSD42).

Don't know exactly how long "C" school is. Someone told me that if he already got orders for his ship, then school would not be longer than 6 months. Anyone know anything about that? I thought ET C school was longer....but not complaining!

Will be coming home for Thanksgiving before going to SD. YIPPEE. Good bye cold winters in GL!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on October 28, 2011 at 3:22am: Hey Jane...in case some moms are not on FB...I'll post the pic here, okay? Here it is! I know there were a few that didn't get in the pic...pretty good attendance tonight!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on October 28, 2011 at 3:08am: Hi Kathy.... Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry I'm late.

Haven't been here for a few days...trying to catch up!

Hope your B-day was a good one. Wishing you a great year ahead.

Comment by Anita on October 20, 2011 at 1:56pm: JoJo - I sent a friend request, but I forgot to send a note with it. I would like to ask you a question.

Comment by Anita on October 20, 2011 at 12:21pm: Jane - thanks for all the info on the Tiger Cruise. How I wish I had gone - I did not know all the particulars. Sounds as if you had a ball!

So, JoJo, let me know if you get a chance and no one else can go with you. I think you and I could have a ball! And as I said, that was a very sweet offer on your part (and I really won't keep you to it).
