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 Sanmor on October 27, 2012 at 6:46pm: Ditto Medic Mom, I am home now after a quick shopping trip to Kohls after lunch. My bando is now passed out in her bed {:oD

Thank you all for good food, and excellent company.

Comment by medic mom on October 27, 2012 at 5:48pm: I must say that you gals are the greatest. I had so much fun today. My brother even had a lot of fun. He said you gals are great and that he was glad I found all of you. I cannot wait to get together again. I know it might be awhile for all of us but thank you for today. It is amazing how wonderful it is to be around other moms who get it.

Comment by Chocoholic (ship 02, div 924) on October 27, 2012 at 11:35am: Alas, I cannot. Everyone have fun for me!

Comment by Donna on October 27, 2012 at 11:26am: I should be able to attend!

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 26, 2012 at 7:14pm: SandySea--you picked the only Saturday----I have OPEN! Shall we go for it?

Comment by SandySea on October 26, 2012 at 7:04pm: Hey Dodie! Congratulations on the new daughter-in-law. Are you planning a visit to Hawaii?

Taptap and I are wondering if any of you all can get together for brunch or an early lunch in the Shiloh/Fairview Heights area on Saturday Nov 10th. Anybody interested??? You could start your Christmas shopping then right after lunch. If you are interested then we can decide on time and place. Carol? Donna?

Comment by medic mom on October 26, 2012 at 4:43pm: One more day and it will be Saturday! If you all can't tell I am super excited to get together. I cannot wait.

Dodie no worries about not being able to make it. I am sure we will get together again soon.

Yeah Barb!!!!!!!!! Gonna be a great time.

Sanmor yes I am a big wussy about being up too early on a Saturday. I like to half way sleep in. Not like I am going to be getting a whole lot of sleeping in time on Saturday. Gotta get the kiddo to school at 7am. They are predicting that they won't get back to close to midnight. Gonna be a LONG day. LOL

Comment by Dodie on October 26, 2012 at 4:04pm: Sorry ladies, I haven't been on here in a while. My son & new DIL were home in August after he finished his Nuke training. Lots of last minute planning to put together a wedding reception in 2 1/2 wk period of time...whew. They left for Pearl Harbor the beginning of Sept. The M&G in Bloomington sounds wonderful, but I'm scheduled to work this weekend. I'm open to getting together in central IL or metro St Louis area if anything is planned in the foreseeable future.
