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 Pamela on April 6, 2012 at 12:34pm: Laura - Please keep me informed of the meet and greet in Schaumburg. I would love to join you. I would be coming from the Rockford area. Thanks

Comment by AngiePNMx2 on April 6, 2012 at 11:47am: Hello evey one!

After and usually "warm" spring we have a cold start to our day...35... and high of 60. Seems like it always get cool over Easter weekend and all of those people who bought summer dress to wear to Easter Sunday services are going to be pretty cold...but at least the sun and the "son" will be shining here!

I have a busy weekend ahead we are putting in a wind break the north side of our property and we have 25 blue spruce trees to plant...well I hired somebody...but any ways....we still have to help some plus I think I will make them lunch.

Have a very blessed Easter!

Comment by Laura on April 6, 2012 at 1:52am: It looks as if April is too crazy of a month for the Northern Illinois moms to have a meet and greet in Schaumburg, so I will try again with another date.

New date: Saturday, May 19th, 11:00 a.m. probably at the Olive Garden in Schaumburg (not firm location yet).

Can we do this Northern moms?

Can you Southern moms join us?

Comment by Pentwater98 on April 5, 2012 at 9:41pm: I am so excided for the meet and greet..

Comment by Pamela on April 4, 2012 at 9:23pm: I would love to meet some more Navy Moms. I will be coming from the Rockford area. Cant wait !!!
