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 Proud AO Mom on August 17, 2011 at 11:22am: Darn, I ordered pirate swords and I eye patches to match. I hope I can send the talking parrot back, LOL. What pic are you going to put up?

Comment by m'smom on August 17, 2011 at 11:06am: Just heard from Colleen in Admin. She is going to try to contact Becca. If she gets no response she will change admin of the Group. And our pic- so I guess the mutany is off! We will have to find another way to entertain ourselvves.

Comment by sjtina on August 17, 2011 at 10:06am: holly my oldest son was in the desert 2 yrs ago and he said when he had watch at night the lights would play tricks on your eyes. You are looking out into pitch dark and the only light was the moon. He never mentioned snakes, but I dont think he told me everything.

Comment by sjtina on August 17, 2011 at 10:01am: good thing we arent posting top secret information.

Comment by Proud AO Mom on August 17, 2011 at 8:52am: Hello again Everybody. This group used to be so quiet but gracious I've missed alot. m's - Congratulations on the grandpup and new DIL.

You ladies are cracking me about Witness Protection, Charlies Angels and mutinies(??? Spell check would be a good feature to add, LOL)

Is anybody else's sailor in Yuma right now? T is in the middle of the desert (I know that's spelled right because stressed spelled backwards is dessert!) He said they really have to be careful for rattlesnakes! I asked him if he would rather be in the desert with snakes or swim in the ocean with sharks and he said sharks!

You're all in my thoughts and prayers and I will definately be checking back more often.

Comment by Tchrmom Lisa on August 16, 2011 at 10:42pm: I think it's kind of funny that Becca is missing! Kind of feel like we are unsupervised... that Momma Bear has gone on vacation!...

Comment by sjtina on August 16, 2011 at 3:09pm: m'smom it will be a year this week that my son left for BC

Comment by m'smom on August 16, 2011 at 2:09pm: Nothing back from Admin yet. It will be a year this week that my son graduated bootcamp! WE had blue candles lit and cell phones straped to our what-evers!! What a long time ago it seems! Glad there are folks on here talking now. Thanks Ladies!

Comment by sjtina on August 15, 2011 at 11:14pm: Finally heard from my son tonight. He sounds a lot better and is making friends. Anyone from philly here? He is spending a lot of time at the beach. Cant say I blame him, thats where I would be. oh and something about Russian girls. oh boy
