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."

I will look up directions right now, so that I know where I am going this time!  I might see if my daughter can put me up in Golden Friday night so I won't have to drive from Broomfield... 

 

Yes - Pick me!  Looking forward to it.  ProudNavyDW&M, if your girl can't put you up in Golden, our guest room is ready and waiting in Highlands Ranch!  We can hit Duffy's for lunch!  Yummmm
You guys have a great time!!  I won't be able to make it!!!  To much to do and no time to do it!!!
I want to come!  I am so sorry I missed last time (and it was so close to me!) - we had some family things come up that had to be dealt with.  Can't wait to see you all!
Fireside Books and Coffee was the nicest place we have met so far, I thought!  Easy to get to, even for me!  Come join us next month (If we can fit in a Saturday Coffee before the Holidays.)
I don't know if the photo will post, but it is very pretty pix from USS Sirocco, Sept 2011.

It was good talking to you ladies today.  Thank God it wasn't too Estrogen Enriched 

 

Per the talk about Sea/Shore rotation.  Here is the latest Navy message which was released on July 11th...

http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/messages/Documents/...

 

Per the talk about Navy ratings crossing into civilian jobs go here:

https://www.cool.navy.mil/

 

Per the ratings and which colleges give you credits go here:

https://www.navycollege.navy.mil/ratings.cfm

 

Per a discription of what each rating does:  (this is my website)

http://www.navydep.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=36

 

Per the lady (I forgot your name) that I was talking to privately after our coffee:

I wanted to return your picture.  

Your son will not be able to join since the tattoo's on his forehead would be showing in his class "A" uniform. Anything on the face and neck that show are not waiver-able.   So the rest of this is a moot  point, but wanted to share in case he decides to get the tattoo's removed....

The body piercing (the knifes through the nose) are not allowed.  If he changed them to less deadly object, such as candles, then the Navy could waive that portion.

The ear guages (the big plugs where a normal earring would go) is waiver-able too.  He would have to remove them duty normal duty hours.  

Per the last item, I will have to provide a link, since I can't talk about "that" item since this is a public forum, so here's a link that has my answer to that question.  >>>   

SEE ATTACHED LINK..... Here >>>

Again, here is your picture back....

 

Darn it. My son will be so disappointed. Thanks for checking into that for me. I'm going to get him even bigger knives for Christmas - and sharper ones. Hahahaha!!!!
Craig, Thanks for the info yesterday and posting on here. It is so helpful. I had a great time and I think from what I heard so did everyone else. I hope we all can meet at this place again. Also, the navycool page will not load. It keeps coming up "error...too long to load". Patricia
I got in to the NavyCool page... Try it again....
Sorry we missed you at the last coffee meeting!  Looking forward to seeing you at the next one!
