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."

PITTSBURG, TX (KLTV) - Arizona DPS confirms that four people, including three East Texans, have died in a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 10 northwest of Tucson.

DPS say the tractor-trailer lost control, crossing through the median, entering the lanes of oncoming traffic, striking two vehicles head-on.

Derrick Bryan Reynolds, 46, Wendy A. Reynolds, 42, and Joachim S. Reynolds, 20, all of Pittsburg were pronounced dead on the scene.

The driver of the second vehicle struck, Rickey Duffey, 61 of Fayetteville, Georgia, was also pronounced dead on the scene.

Comment by PAM (GM MOM) on September 12, 2011 at 6:42pm: I can't wait for Friday, my son will be home for 2 weeks before going on to San Deigo for his perm duty. His girlfriend and I went to see the LST 325 today, a landing ship from WWll. It is docked in Peoria until tonight. It was very interesting touring the ship. It is headed down the Il river, if any of you get a chance go see it.

Comment by medic mom on September 12, 2011 at 6:54am: This past weekend was great. Enjoyed my time with my SR. Although it was too short. Glad that I got to meet some great ladies. I am in Laura's picture. I am wearing the pink sweatshirt. Now is the next phase of going through A school. He's in San Antonio and ready to learn. It is comforting knowing that I can hear his voice when he decides to call. I wanna thank all of you for being here when I need you. It is great knowing that you gals are here. Have a great day. Hope to see more of you soon.

Comment by Laura on September 10, 2011 at 7:40pm: Sorry from the PIR 9-9 "Meet & Greet".

Comment by Laura on September 10, 2011 at 7:40pm: I couldn't figure out how to post a photo & comment at the same time.

This is from the PIR 9-9. I am top row, 2nd from left. I didn't identify nayone in the photo because I wasn't sure if I should use, N4M names, real names, or none at all!
