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 TexasDocMom on December 20, 2009 at 2:42pm: We soak the venison in milk, Carol, wonder if that would work for rabbit and squirrel? I can't eat rabbit, not since my brother, when we were children, waited until I ate dinner to tell me it wasn't chicken it was BunBun on that platter!

Comment by TexasDocMom on December 20, 2009 at 2:22pm: Hmm...chicken fried backstrap....cream gravy, mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, sounds great to me!!

Comment by TexasDocMom on December 20, 2009 at 2:40am: Well, you ladies have the Night Owl shift tonight...I worked in the BIGGEST house tonight, but so built to entertain....I'm beat. Keep the home fires burning!

Comment by TexasDocMom on December 20, 2009 at 2:19am: Ruth! I'm jealous, now THIS is the home everyone else comes to...I'd love go home for Christmas! Have a great Christmas!

Comment by TexasDocMom on December 20, 2009 at 2:10am: One thing, crying eyes make me sleepy....good night, Kristine, you are never alone, and neither is your son.

Comment by TexasDocMom on December 20, 2009 at 1:53am: Let 'em flow, Kristine, just cry until you can't cry another tear. I'd say you're probably accepting what you can't change, and your holiday will be better for your family here once you get past this particular crying jag. I wish I could say something to magically make it stop, but I can't, just know you're surrounded by moms who know exactly what you're feeling and some know it times 3 or 4 deployments.

At some point you're just numb, I don't know that it's better. But different.

Comment by TexasDocMom on December 20, 2009 at 1:43am: Cyber hugs to Carol and Kristine, and Ruthella too, all the moms having rough Christmas times this year.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 20, 2009 at 1:33am: (I meant to say the moms are fantastic, not the jobs - but they are as well!)

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 20, 2009 at 1:32am: Hi Amanda's mom! Corps school is a rather advanced version of EMT education. There's a host of 'specialties' as well if she so chooses to pursue, such as surgical or dental technician - the moms in this group can fill out my basic description, they're fantastic. I see you're from Casa Grande (I'm in Scottsdale). There's an Arizona Moms group on here, and they're having a get-together at a Coco's in Tempe on January 9th if you're available!
