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 Jody Gault on May 16, 2009 at 10:10pm: I hope you all had a fabulous time at Mimi's today. I'm sure you did. Since Justin and his dad left at 4:30pm I just couldn't bring myself to break away. I did, as usual, bawl after they pulled away. Then to top it off our dog broke her leash and ran after them then chased this poor man on a bicycle. Here I am crying and laughing at the same time. My daughters and I felt bad for the man who feared a crazy dog chasing him but it was an older man and he was pedaling fast. You had to have seen it. I really did feel bad for his fear but I had a flood of emotions. The girls were laughing hysterically. Our dog got put in her kennel for her time out. She's friendly but when she's barking and chasing the people don't know that.

Soooo are all other mommas just like me? My girls don't cry on goodbyes anymore and assure me that we can still talk to him. Me, I always cry. This was a bad one though. I'm thinking it's a mommas burden to be the emotional ones. Let me know.

So for our therapy we 3 girls went shopping then afterwards went for the first time Buca Di Bepo. Hubby would never try it. It was fantastic. We're going to take him and father in law there as a surprise for fathers day. Ladies, that would be a fantastic place for the next get together. I highly recommend it.

Comment by Jody Gault on May 12, 2009 at 7:47pm: Lynne, Oh my gosh....I'm so sorry to hear that! Puleezzzz nobody else do that-I got into my first accident in about 10 yrs 2 weeks ago (thus the reason I got a new car because mine was totaled. But no one was hurt). As I was heading to Enterprise, FL this morn getting onto I4 at Michigan there was a wreck right there near where I crashed. It looked like a bad one-the van was a mess. On my wreck the girl that caused it but suffered no damage because I avoided her only to hit an innocent lady, well her insurance company refunded my $500 deductible because they found her at fault (or she fessed up to it).

Comment by Jody Gault on May 12, 2009 at 7:48am: Good morning everybody. Does anybody know why this would be happening:
I have started getting some (but not all) of my alerts that someone put a message on one of my groups , I'm getting messages in my Spam folder. It's weird because one lady from another group one of her alerts that she'd put something on the group site in my regular in box and her second alert went into my spam folder. This has happened a couple of times in the last couple of days and it's never happened before.

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on May 11, 2009 at 10:27am: Good monday morning to all!!!
Hope you ladies all had a wonderful Mothers day!!!!

Comment by Jody Gault on May 10, 2009 at 9:15pm: Welcome Carolyne. Our son just left PNS A schooling (Corry station) last Friday to come home. He finished about a month or so ago. He's heading to his first duty station of WA next weekend.

Comment by Jody Gault on May 10, 2009 at 8:42am: Happy Mothers Day ladies. Please enjoy your day to the fullest-you deserve it.

Justin bought a car last night for his WA drive. He got a 2008 Huyndi Solantra Limited-you talk about a nice car. He wanted to buy it on his own but that couldn't happen since he'd not been in the Navy for 1 year and he had no credit so a co-signer was needed. He kept his convertible to give to his sisters. My car troubles ended Weds. (my own car was totaled). I got a 1999 (we buy older cars so there's no loan) Chrysler 300M-it's fully loaded too and looks brand new. Nice Mother's day present for us to both have found cars and for Justin to be here. His time home is racing by. He leaves next weekend and I have to go to Atlanta this Weds-Fri (I don't want to but must for work).

Comment by Jody Gault on May 8, 2009 at 7:09pm: BTW-please tell me that those two guys aren't sailors. Trying to figure out what game they're playing. They're holding large magnets. Plus 1 glove on 1 glove off. Hmmmm......
