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 September 21, 2012 at 6:32pm: Wishing all of you gals a great weekend!!!!!!! Enjoy whatever plans you have. Sanmor......good luck tomorrow at LCHS. I won't be there but I hope you guys do good.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on September 21, 2012 at 8:29am: The "Welcome Home to all Veterans" event is going to amazing! So much bigger and better than last year due to the change in venue.

To the Moms attending: The Molly's Adopt A Sailor tent will be at the end near the Vietnam traveling wall. You do not need to stop at the Registration tent, just head on over to our tent.

Comment by medic mom on September 11, 2012 at 10:48pm: Oh and Sanmor don't worry about East Peoria. They really aren't all that good. You guys can beat them on your worst day.

Comment by medic mom on September 11, 2012 at 10:47pm: Yep our band will be of U of I. They are a 3A band so we are in the small school section. Playing in the morning. LOL

Comment by SandySea on September 11, 2012 at 9:38pm: Hey Sanmor and medic mom, are your bands going to the U of I marching band festival on Oct 13th??? Ours will be there in the 5A class.

Comment by Sanmor on September 11, 2012 at 9:25pm: {:oD

Comment by medic mom on September 11, 2012 at 9:23pm: Sanmor I think United Township is gonna be tough also. I cannot wait to see what they say tomorrow either. My fingers are crossed for you and for us. Will let you know how it turns out

Comment by Sanmor on September 11, 2012 at 9:21pm: We usually play Morton, but this year we are at pontiac at same time..Because another band wanted included at last minute, we have been moved up to 3A??? so up against Danville and East Peoria, so not sure.

for you, Macomb could be an issue, can't wait until tomorrow to see the predicts in ilmarching

Comment by medic mom on September 11, 2012 at 9:15pm: Sanmor......we are gonna be at Morton this weekend and we are gonna have to have our a game on. We are going up against some tough competition. Not worried about 2 of them but the other 2 I am worried for them unless they knock it out of the park. My youngest son has to learn not to break mallets in the middle of a performance and not to press the pedal on the vibraphone so hard that it breaks during the last song. LOL Other then that they should do good. Good luck this weekend. Sorry about the band talk gals. We are just happy to have a little distraction right now. Hope you all have a great nite.
