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 becky m on October 14, 2010 at 10:50pm: julie I am sorry tht you have to go thru the loss of you dog. I am dreading even thinking aobut that. We have two also and they are so close to each other and both of my kids I will be a mess also. I would wait until after her birthday to tell her, but she needs to know. Great job Stephen!! :) I have been pricing flights for the holiday leave also...its crazy!! Mine is looking for a car right now. Fly home for hloidays or car??? Hummm we will see what he chooses. LOL Barb glad Tom is coming home. Coco are you still hanging from dinking all those beers?? :)

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on October 14, 2010 at 9:34pm: Very pretty dog. I hope you daughter has a nice birthday, it is hard when they are away from home. I have missed several of Stephen don't like it, but what can you do. I bet Rylee misses Oreo, they get use to one another that is for sure. My two dogs don't get along, Shawna is 14 and does not like Daisy, Daisy is Stephen's dog that is how we got her and she is going to be 4. Shawna has bitten her twice and she has had to get staples. No fun when they don't get along. Just take care Julie, it will get better.

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on October 14, 2010 at 7:53pm: Julie what type of dog is Oreo?

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on October 14, 2010 at 7:52pm: Julie, I am so sorry, our pets are part of our family. But if Oreo was suffering and up in age it was her time. We have to remember we want them to stay for us. We are the ones left behind missing them but Oreo is no longer in pain, or tired, or scared, or anything just in peace. My opinion you need to tell your sailor, I would wait for her to ask and you need to tell her. How old was Oreo? I see you picture very pretty dog. It will get easier but I know it is very hard and lonely now.

Comment by MissMySailor on October 14, 2010 at 6:26pm: So sorry for your loss Julie a dog is like a child.... Take care
