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 sjtina on August 15, 2011 at 5:26pm: thanks ladies, you made me laugh. mutiny, arghhhh

Comment by Valtameri on August 15, 2011 at 11:10am: That's funny. I emailed an admin about some pictures last night, to thank her for her help with that, and while I was doing that, I asked her about this group. She's going to think we're trying to stage a coup.

Comment by m'smom on August 15, 2011 at 11:02am: We can add several people once we have control.

Comment by m'smom on August 15, 2011 at 11:01am: I just sent them a message to see if they can override Becca.

Comment by sjtina on August 15, 2011 at 11:00am: I started a couple buds groups and only I can change the picture or edit the group. I am not sure if n4m's admin can over ride it. I have desinated a few members as my group admins, so they can delete posts that are harmful in nature to the spec. ops guys

Comment by m'smom on August 15, 2011 at 10:24am: I have not heard from Becca. I have sent a note to another 'friend' who has been on here forever. I asked if there is anyway to change the admin on this group without Becca. Will let you'll know what she says.

Comment by m'smom on August 15, 2011 at 10:20am: I keep looking at his paws and thinking they aren't all that big. My son says he is a very smart puppy. DIL said he gets mad when she picks up his toys. Goes and drags them all out again! I told her sounded like a 2 year old!! LOL

Comment by CeeCee on August 14, 2011 at 10:40pm: LOL my son is a snowboarder but tried surfing once down there......he said it's ok but not as much fun as snowboarding!

Comment by sjtina on August 14, 2011 at 10:37pm: Thats a big puppy. We have 3 dogs, my favorite is the jug, Jack Russell Terrier/Pug, he is hilarious, but stubborn.

We were talking about our boys buying things, mine just bought a surf board. I dont think he even knows how to surf. lol
