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."

Great Pix Jim--thanks for posting. 

Is anyone missing a tupperware bowl and lid?  There was one uncovered in my van just today.

marine navymom,   Great!!!  Enjoy your time! No, you are not crazy just a mom who doesn't want to miss the chance to see their child. Have Fun!

Oh darn it Marine_Navy.  Our sailor called--tunnels closed.  They are planning to move all the sailors with dry dock boats/ships to a bunker of some sort if hurricane comes through.  He did not feel the earthquake as on the barge at the time.  Hope he and roomie have planned for the cats if they can't go back to their rental house.

Marine Navymom,   That is so disappointing!! Hope you will be able to reschedule the visit soon.
