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 think Brenda Sue is taking the picture! I wanted to post it so that you guys will be as excited as I am about meeting all of you!!! Mark you calendars for the next meet and greet in California on August 29, 2009.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on March 30, 2009 at 6:06pm: Jaye, any ideas yet on where the next get together will be for So Cal?

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 17, 2009 at 9:41am: Wow, I've missed a lot. I'll have to make time to catch up. I just wanted to drop a note of THANKS to all of you! The four hours stress test went well for my husband (Dan). We will know the results of the pictures of his heart in a few days. My angel blessings to each of you~s
Thank you for asking about Brianna. As far as we know she is recovering. Very scary for us especially when we can't be there to try to be of help. However, it is very reassuring that they have a 'strong group of friends' for support (the ombudsman told me this in an e-mail). We won't bother them with calling or e-mail to respect our dil's request; and also to give them all the chance to relax, rest and recourperate when they can. Our sailor is still deployed, so I am sure this is very hard on our dil.
Owen's trip on the USS Hornet with the Scouts was AWESOME! Great for Pa and him to do. This is a very amazing thing that the folks who are committed to the Navy and it's history do for our grandkids. If you get the chance - encourage or join in, and my thanks to those who provide this!~s

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 13, 2009 at 9:56am: April may be much better to gether, especially with all of the stuff that we have going on. With this glorious weather we are having maybe I can get the window's cleaned! Yea right?!

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 13, 2009 at 9:49am: Good Morning:
Well, the doc said that the spot on Dan's lung had not changed in two years - so no worries; and he is good with that. Thank you for your prayers. Monday he has the four hour test in Sacramento. Then maybe things will settle back down. Thank you all! My angel blessings~s
YEA Paula! Congrats! Grands are just that GRAND!

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on March 12, 2009 at 12:03pm: HI Paula, How are you doing way up north?
Will you be a grandmother for the first time or second?

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 12, 2009 at 9:51am: Hey - are we Sacrament/Chico/Folsom/Fair Oaks/Rocklin/Roseville girls gathering this weekend??? I've kind of lost track. I can do Saturday - or Sunday afternoon. Owen (grandboy) will be on his scouting overnight on the USS Hornet. Please let me know~s

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 12, 2009 at 9:50am: Hi Everybody: Please keep praying for our little Brianna. We received a message that she is home the surgery was five hours long. Please keep praying for successful healing and their family. Thank you~s
P.S. We didn't get the message till last night - but we have had the Navy training in 'wait and hear' as well as 'trust and obey' (that is a hymn by the way)! Funny things you learn while waiting for news. Thank you for asking, that warms my heart especially when the doubt starts to creep in!

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on March 4, 2009 at 1:37am: Brianna will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 4, 2009 at 1:25am: Hi Everybody: I know that this may be early - but our computer is a little cranky - we would appreciate prayers for our Brianna. She is 14 months old, and will have her cleft pallet surgery next Tuesday - the 10th. Thanks - my angel blessings ~~S {her Oma}
