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 Jacob94mom on June 27, 2023 at 11:37am: 12 lbs! He’s doing great! Cameron doesn’t have an appointment until he’s 2 months, I’m excited to hear how he’s doing. J called last week and asked when he would roll over, I said about 3 months. He said, well he just did it! At 5 weeks lol it was probably an accident because he was mad about tummy time. But that’s how they start!

You can do it B! I flew once by myself to surprise my older son to attend his nursing school graduation. I was familiar with the connecting airport (Atlanta which is huge!) and had plenty of time so it wasn’t bad. I was a bit nervous e though!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on June 27, 2023 at 10:47am: Last week he weighed in at 12lbs 9.5 oz! He's getting so big so fast!!!! And he's starting to get more of a personality, it's amazing how much change can happen in one week at this age.

Comment by mariecb on June 27, 2023 at 10:41am: Yeah for you!!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on June 27, 2023 at 10:29am: Hi all - Happy Tuesday! I just booked my flight to visit my lil Oli in September ;-D And I'm going to be a big girl and fly all by myself!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on June 21, 2023 at 10:44am: I'm back - well I've actually been back for a bit but trying to play catch up at work lol.

Had a wonderful visit in Michigan with Oli and B&C. We really didn't do much of anything - just got lots of snuggles. It was amazing to me how much he changed in just the week we were there. It was really hard to leave and I'm already trying to figure out when I can go back. This long distance stuff is for the birds lol!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on June 21, 2023 at 10:42am: Happy 1st day of summer!

Comment by Tammy⚓️Girl on June 10, 2023 at 9:49pm: B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN and Jacob94mom - congratulations on your new bundles of joy and being a grandparent. I can't believe how quick they grow up, my granddaughters are 8 and 9 1/2 years old.
