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 medic mom on October 1, 2012 at 10:14pm: That's good for you guys. Kinda used to playing later in the day. Around this same time every year for last 4 years. Before that we played again Marian and it was even later in the day. This is kinda early for us. LOL

Comment by Sanmor on October 1, 2012 at 10:12pm: whimp {:oP lol

No I understand, Eureka don't matter sheesh.

We are actually playing late for us this year. We are usually between 7am and 7.26am will be strange being almost 8am and the sun will be up lol.

Comment by medic mom on October 1, 2012 at 10:06pm: We don't play til 10:25. Need that sleeping in time. Now if it is a weekend I have my younger son I might just go ahead and head on over to watch you guys play.

Comment by Sanmor on October 1, 2012 at 10:05pm: Hey now, where is the standing together, too early, sheesh {:oD

I will be there from 7am so pssssst lol

Comment by medic mom on October 1, 2012 at 10:03pm: Yeah Angie!!!! Sanmor yes she is. We are going to ISU together. My band is 2a and her band is 3a. So technically my band is going against your band for awards also. LOL I am meeting her there to watch Limestone and Marian Catholic together. Marian plays at noon so 1 is really doable for us. You guys play too early in the morning for her to get there and for me to be there also. Want a little time to sleep in. LOL I cannot wait. Thought it would be great to get us together to meet up with some of the gals since we will be there any how.

Comment by Sanmor on October 1, 2012 at 9:59pm: OH Zach's Mom was thinking of coming this year too. Rachelle???

Comment by Sanmor on October 1, 2012 at 9:58pm: just looked, and our awards are at 11.07am so looks like 1pm is doable for sure

Comment by Sanmor on October 1, 2012 at 9:55pm: I am also at ISU that day for sure, I am thinking our award ceremony will be around 10 or 10.30am so I should definitely be able to make it too {:oD
