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 Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on April 26, 2010 at 11:10am: I feel that to err on the side of dressier is better. A lot of women DO dress well, and I think it's a measure of respect to the sailors and the officers, all of whom are in dress uniform. You don't have far to walk, and you're sitting most of the time. And the photos will last a lifetime.....

Comment by Diane1954 on April 25, 2010 at 8:51pm: CBsMom Ship 12Div185: Go comfortable. When my son graduated we had moms there from way over dressed (high heels - ugh) to jeans. Remember, you have to sit on aluminum bleachers. Wear comfy shoes & clothing. Jeans and tennis shoes are completely acceptable.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on April 23, 2010 at 11:44pm: I was running around downtown Scottsdale this afternoon, no rain, just wind and chilly. And I hear after the weekend it's going to cool down again?! I don't get it!
Are you able to go to PIR?

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on April 23, 2010 at 12:27pm: Isn't this weather something else?! 30% chance of rain yesterday turned into downpours here. Enjoying it while it lasts!
Thanks for letting us know about Recruiter Appreciation Day. The Paradise Valley recruiting office rocks; they continue to be a great resource for me when I'm looking for Navy info. My son's gone back and addressed Deppers; and I stop in occasionally when there's something to brag about ;) or just to say Hi. Think I'll drop off some cookies 5/15!
We need to plan another get-together soon.........

Comment by dooby1424 on April 23, 2010 at 10:03am: Hi Everyon,

I am sorry I did not know about the most recent pot luck. I miss seeing all of you!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on March 27, 2010 at 1:06pm: Went to a great 'Navy Week' luncheon this week and got to visit with Commander Darryl Toppin, who swore in my sailor in 2007 - nice!

Comment by barb ( rachel's mom) on March 21, 2010 at 6:27pm: thanks for the welcome. sorry i had to miss the potluck but had to work. maybe the next one. looks fabulous where you are. how pretty.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on March 21, 2010 at 11:33am: Thank you Kim for being such a fabulous hostess! We had a great potluck luncheon at her beautiful home yesterday. We dined on yummy dishes outside on her patio overlooking her pool and waterfall and peaceful view of a saguaro-studded mountain beyond. It was such a beautiful 80 degree day we moved our chairs into the sunshine for coffee and dessert and talk, talk, talk. Now we have to plan our next get-together!

Comment by Diane1954 on March 13, 2010 at 11:55am: Barb: Welcome to our group. I'm sure we can help you through this process with your daughter in boot camp.
