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 JudyB. on November 12, 2010 at 12:24am: Evening Everybody, My home she got a face lift today. She is an old lady 83 years old Spanish hacienda, and she sure looks good with her burnt orangie rust color...she wears it nicely.

My corpsman's home!! He looks soooo good with his golden suntan. He looks healthy and has a really attractive presence about him; as if he has something to be proud of and respected...Moms, he said they all look like him so no worries!!

Comment by Pam on November 11, 2010 at 1:20pm: I got a text from J and he was telling me how they had steak and lobster for the Marine's birthday!! And today lots of free stuff for the holiday! It seems like he's finally getting his footing there and "hanging" out with the Marine's and listening to their stories. He has so much respect for what they do and what they sacrifice. He did say how much they loved their Corpsman and take good care of them!!

Comment by Pam on November 11, 2010 at 12:13pm: That's wonderful Judy! I know you've got to be excited!

Man, my typos are so bad today! That's what I get for typing in a dark room this morning!

Comment by JudyB. on November 11, 2010 at 11:43am: Pam, Happy Veteran's to you and to all Veteran's and to those active today!! My Corpsman, he is on his way home for the 4 day weekend. Yaaaa!! I so need to mother him right now!! He is taking the Amtrak home his first time on a train.

Everybody go out and make it a Great Day!!

Comment by Pam on November 11, 2010 at 8:19am: Happy Veteran's Day everyone! It's holds such a special meaning for us this year. :)

Comment by Pam on November 11, 2010 at 8:14am: Good morning! The East Coast is up and ready to go!

Chief - I believe they have a four day weekend and then it's time for some more camping. More than three days from what I can gather. Hard to beleive they graduate five weeks from today.

Comment by OKSoonermom2010 on November 10, 2010 at 1:25pm: Jackqueline---He has not put in for leave, because he is still in fmtb, after graduation he goes to his next post and then i guess he can ask for leave, he is probably going to have to do that, buy a ticket that he can make changes to, i heard that Southwest is the only airline that you can re-fund your ticket or make changes, is that true?

Comment by OKSoonermom2010 on November 10, 2010 at 11:59am: My son will graduate fmtb on 12/16 then will go on to his next duty station there at CP, he will then ask for leave to come home for Xmas, i don't know if he should book a flight now, or wait until he gets his leave approved, some advice, please...

Comment by Pam on November 10, 2010 at 7:23am: Chief makes a good point about the audi getting fixed. I have a volvo and that thing costs an arm and a leg just to get a darn oil change. Special tools and all.
Carol - how long is C giong to be out there?

Comment by JudyB. on November 9, 2010 at 8:24pm: Pam, I hear you on the hubby department, mine can computer design & build a house from start to finish and can work like a horse literally. I'm a clutter bug but not dirty and I'm saver from anything big or small, I'm a big giver and don't need much but physical love.
T didn't like growing up with clutter so he went around picked up everything out of place and then he is fine, but to get dirty OMG...I really don't know how he carried wet dirt out in that field All day last week, it took Great strength on his part.
