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 mikes mom on December 23, 2009 at 3:02pm: I have to tell you guys that my mom was a texting up to the day she passed . She was so adorable I made sure she had the easiest phone to type on. It was so funny to see this 74 year old texting like crazy to her grandchildren I loved it. Now we have most of her friends doing it.

Comment by mikes mom on December 23, 2009 at 2:32pm: Ring tones we are so cute !!!! Mine is Tie a yellow ribbon .... my daughter got that for me.

Comment by Sharon P.M. on December 23, 2009 at 12:15am: Yeah - computer challenged is the politically correct term for computer retarded Ruthella! LOL! We have been shopping for a new computer for a couple weeks now - hubs just has to see every freakin one out there before he makes up his mind - I just want one with BIG keys and screen that I can see! I think they are reasonable requests, don't you? My kids are into the whole facebook thing - I had to get a page to be able to e-mail them because heaven forbid they just use a regular aol or yahoo address that is easy for mom to use! Kind of like why do they have to text my cell phone rather than call? By the time I send a response they have sent 5 more texts! I just can't move my fingers on those tiny keys fast enough! I think it's a form of torture!

Comment by Sharon P.M. on December 22, 2009 at 11:29pm: As you know I am somewhat computer challenged so I can only look at one site at a time! LOL

Comment by Sharon P.M. on December 22, 2009 at 11:29pm: Hey Ruth - still out there?! I was spying on my kids on facebook! LOL

Comment by Sharon P.M. on December 22, 2009 at 10:57pm: Has Gloria shoveled out of that snow yet? Pretty quiet here tonight!

Comment by Sharon P.M. on December 22, 2009 at 10:54pm: Hi All! Finally getting to catch up a little here! Welcome new moms, you've come to the right place, these women and dad (Mark!) are wonderful and full of knowledge on all things Navy be it green side, blue side or upside down!
Ruth - down here we say "Weeza"! LOL! Been chaotic around my house and here I was whining that it was going to be too quiet with 3 of the 5 kids away for the holidays! With the new grand baby, a jealous 3 year old, a puppy that is GIGANTIC and finishing up the re-model I've hardly had time to whine! Have been hearing from Devin pretty regularly thus far thanks to skype! He loves Naples and seems to be getting settled in well. You know, I read about all of our boys that are deployed in the sand and I keep them all in my prayers but as odd as it might sound I feel kind of guilty that he's not there. Almost like wow - how did we get so freakin lucky? But I understand that even though he is based in Italy there is always the possibilty of being deployed and so for now, as much as I miss him, I am eternally thankful that he is where he is!

Comment by mikes mom on December 22, 2009 at 6:40pm: I agree all Navy mom's are the coolest !

just ask us we will tell you....ha ha

Comment by mikes mom on December 22, 2009 at 1:17pm: Cindy- I'm so glad that Tyler will be home for you, that's so nice.
Merry Christmas to you and your family !
