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."

Hey--other than week 4 of no full time person to help me in the cafeteria and pulling my hair out from frustration, I'm doing fine. However, one of the meds I'm supposed to be on for Rhematoid arthritis is no longer made in generics. The co-pay on brand name is $750 a month. Ouch. Trying to find a new med. Thanks fo rasking everyone!

Comment by T-Lynn on March 2, 2011 at 12:46pm: National Pig Day? I just watched TV last night and watch Larry the Cable Guy talk about some National Mule Day in Colins, TN. Makes you wonder just how many Nationa days there are. But that surf and turf is funny.

Carol - how are you doing?

Thngs ok here. Wish all a good day/

By the way has anyone know about this stuff called Activa? My oldest ate some and is now a resident in the bathroom. Best way to say it.

Comment by Dodie on March 2, 2011 at 9:52am: Pat, Love the surf & turf reference...lol.

Carol, I hope everything is returning to normal in Troy post tornado..

Comment by Pat L. in IL on March 2, 2011 at 8:31am: We could have given a whole new meaning to "surf & turf"!!!!! tsk! tsk!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on March 1, 2011 at 7:48pm: Hey, Carol, you falling down on the job?? It's kind of late in the day to do a proper National Pig Day celebration!

Comment by carols_kitchen on March 1, 2011 at 6:42pm: It's National Pig Day--how could I forget?!

Comment by T-Lynn on March 1, 2011 at 11:46am: Thankyou - understand now. Each division in the Navy must have a pin that every sailor can earn to be battle / emergency ready for their ship. I must have been in none thinking mode.

What an honor - congrats.

No - I have not seen any words from Michele
