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 Sharon P.M. on November 23, 2009 at 5:41pm: LOL - you are a woman after my own heart Ruthella! Of course the happiness of the pups is the most important thing! Well, that and my man-cubs. Eldest man-cub turns 24 today, no clue how that happened as I am only 21!

Comment by Sharon P.M. on November 23, 2009 at 5:13pm: Unfortunately if I decided to quit my job I think my hubs would fall over dead of a heart attack - he's counting on me working so he can retire! Of course, I have him heavily insured so...hmmmm decisions, decisions....LOL! My dogs would be pretty darn happy to have me home all the time though! :0)

Comment by Sharon P.M. on November 23, 2009 at 4:56pm: I'm thinking I just may have to quit my job so I can stay in touch with my N4M's peeps! LOL

Comment by Sharon P.M. on November 23, 2009 at 4:53pm: Seriously - it SUCKS, my computer will not let me go to previous or first and when I hit last or next not a damn thing happens! As I am usually a day or so behind I am missing all kinds of posts now. Still no clue what NING is but hellloooo NING, your new page thing bites the big one! How's that for an unhappy mom?

Comment by Sharon P.M. on November 23, 2009 at 3:22pm: Ruthella - my kids were making fun of me yesterday because I never check my facebook wall - geez-a-loo! I just figured out MySpace and now they all get on facebook! So cool that you found your son's page! My man-cub is going to update me on the finer aspects of posting while he is home and also how to use the skype (sp?) thing so I can see him on the computer when he's in Italy.

Comment by Sharon P.M. on November 23, 2009 at 1:29pm: Tex - my husband tells me I better be braced to be knocked over flat at the bridge with all of the pets we've had over the years that are waiting for me. He's such a turd some times! I do get a smile thinking of all them healthy and happy and ramping about together though...

Comment by TexasDocMom on November 23, 2009 at 1:18pm: Ruth, it's tough to loose family, furry or not. and Sharon, Rainbow Bridge always has brought me comfort, I can just see those good dogs, young again, racing around, waiting for us. Ruth, if your grandchildren aren't familiar with the Bridge, there are many web sites online with pictures and animations that tell its story as well.

Comment by Sharon P.M. on November 23, 2009 at 1:13pm: Ruth - I am so sorry for your loss, this is the story that always makes me feel better when I loose one of my own fur-kids,

Comment by mikes mom on November 23, 2009 at 12:18pm: Ruth,

I am so sorry for your loss. Your pet is not just your pet they are family members and it really tough to have to do that at least you know Dutchie is in a better place and not hurting.
My thoughts are with you,

Marsha
