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 Pam on October 22, 2010 at 9:57pm: That's what I'm thinking Jacqueline!! Those goodies will not last long. They're probably ready right about now for a little love from home, so I'm going to send a small care package on Monday.

Comment by Pam on October 22, 2010 at 7:21pm: Chief88 - HS Football - I'm there!! Really, really miss those Friday night lights!!

Judy - Um...well, you might be onto something. Just kidding, I haven't gotten an address either.

Comment by JudyB. on October 22, 2010 at 6:27pm: I asked T on Monday of this week if he would like me to send some of his favorite homemade cookies. He said when he gets an address for me. Maybe he doesn't want to hurt my feelings?!

Comment by Pam on October 22, 2010 at 6:08pm: I love the picture Carol!!! OMG - I laughed out loud here at work on that one!! J turns 21 in Nov - while he's at Camp P. Bummer! I'm sure they'll hook him up though. Lots of young ones there. I want to send some goodies too, especially Halloween treats, but wasn't sure how well that would go over.

Comment by Becky (J's Mom) on October 22, 2010 at 5:11pm: my J turned 21 in July at A school...........we just kept saying "21 in Chicago-can't be good!" He behaved himself, atleast that's what he told us. I told my hubby not to worry, the Navy would be harder on him than we could ever be if he did something stupid. Hoping for a phone call tomorrow-haven't even had a text all week. Beautiful day in Illinois today! Happy Friday!!

Comment by JudyB. on October 22, 2010 at 4:20pm: Carol, I read your post and said Huh? But then I looked at the pic of the shape and saw the nipples in my minds eye...then laughed, Im a little slow on the up take. lol

Comment by JudyB. on October 22, 2010 at 3:52pm: BTW, T mentioned that the Corpsman in FMTB cannot travel more than 100 miles from Camp Pendleton. He has invited us down to CP for thanksgiving. Looks like he invited his gf and her family also. We will be staying a the "Cottages" in San Onofre, real close to CP.

Comment by JudyB. on October 22, 2010 at 3:34pm: Carol, your so funny!! I know, I would be just as upset as you are...even more (I have a not so nice temper) especially a Mama Bear temper!! When you talk to C ask for the address to CP and send them, I'm sure he will feel the love after the fact the same way as when he was suppose to receive it!! The "So MAD" part comes from a human being not paying attention to his/her job that day...karma Carol comes around...chin up Mama!!

Jacqueline, You have a young one too...Geezer!! My cub is an old man compared to you all. lol

Comment by JudyB. on October 22, 2010 at 3:00pm: Pam, I didn't know J was a young one also. Becky has a young one in fmbt too! Awww goes out to your young ones!!

Comment by Pam on October 22, 2010 at 2:47pm: Thanks Jacqueline! Maybe they'll get some rest and get energized over the weekend. I got Monday's rundown and it was grueling. Even for a 20 year old!!
