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 eurekamom on July 22, 2011 at 12:12pm: Hi HvnlySno - welcome! You will enjoy this site. Lots of good people with good information.

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on July 22, 2011 at 1:01am: Hello All! Just thought I'd find out more about what my SR will be embarking on once he gets through BC & A school.

Comment by jesspoo05 on July 21, 2011 at 1:56pm: ruth. sorry about the weather. even though the weather is hot for pretty much everywhere. here it seems pretty nice actually. hope it cools down soon though. nice comic, and sooo true.. lol. and hope everything is going well for your son in the field. hope he is learning/perfecting a lot of good skills, and having some fun too!

Comment by jesspoo05 on July 20, 2011 at 2:00pm: his leave was offically approved last week!! yay!! vacation here we come!! watch out tucson!! only about 37 days till we go!! yay!!!
and also got to see my dad for the day. he was in town on business and i didn't find out till sunday. i had tues already off so i drove the hour and a half to go see him for about 10 hours or so. any chance to see my parents i will take, since they live in MN and I don't get to see them very often! but good news as well, my mom and my dad are both going to be in town in about 2 months and i will get to see them and spend some time with them both again!! yay!! seems like things are going pretty well, i am blessed!! hope all is well with all of you!
but if it isn't and anyone feels like talking we are always here for any of you!!!!

Comment by jesspoo05 on July 15, 2011 at 1:59pm: mrsS- that is great that things are going well for you on base! i can understand feeling a little bad about a nice ocean view and him having to be at 29 plams! hope he is almost done and gets to come home to a cooler place soon!!

pam- i am looking foward to going home!! i cant wait!! and i know about thoes long road trips well!! im from mn and moved to az! so we drove that a handful of times. it is 30 hr drive! ick! this is only going to be a 8 hr drive to go back to az. so not to bad! and glad you still get to visit home and that it isn't so far anymore!

Comment by Pam on July 14, 2011 at 4:10pm: jesspoo05 - That's wonderful things are falling into place for you and the boyfriend. It's always great for the soul to go back and be with family. When my husband was in the Army and stationed in El Paso, TX, we drove from there to Chicago. It only took 26 hours! Never again! And I had a puppy plastered to me and I was pregnant with my son Jamie (my Corpsman). We still do road trips to Chicago every now and then from Atlanta, thank goodness only half the distance!

Hope everyone's doing well....

Comment by MrsS on July 14, 2011 at 2:24pm: Yeah Jess! Vacations are the best. It has been quiet here. Being on base has been wonderful for my family and Corpsman. Right now he's out in 29 Palms with his AAV unit. I kinda feel bad for having an Ocean view when he is in 110 degrees with only sagebrush in sight.

Any other updates out there?

Comment by jesspoo05 on July 14, 2011 at 1:58pm: been a little quite on here. just wanted to stop in and say hi! hope all is well with everyone! i am a little excited cause it seems like our vacation is finially falling into place! my bf and i are going back to az to spend almost 2 weeks with family and friends. it is already almost a year since we have been back. i cant wait! still waiting on offical word that his leave gets approved. but outlook looks good! this is the closest we have gotten, we were supposed to go back at the beginning of april but things just kept changing! don't want to get tooo excited yet but it will be a nice roadtrip for us. first one we have ever gone on just the 2 of us!!! yay!!!!
