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."

Yes, we've got quite a few folks interested in the USS INDIANAPOLIS anniversary reunion. Block out the weekend of July 30-August 1 and I'll have more details after I get the daughter graduated from high school on June 4! (Busy, busy, busy...) k.

Dawn, you're right... it's the 14th. I just didn't press the '1' key.

Dinner last night was super! We had 9 at the table, then Misty showed up with some house guests (so they sat at another table; but she came over and spent a bit of time with us). We got to meet a fun new family, the Apassioses, whose daughter is leaving June 4 for Great Lakes (not violating OPSEC; it's not her last name). WE MISSED YOU, PAT & VERA!

We also had two sailors join us, which is always wonderful. We wish soft winds and smooth seas to Andy, who's leaving Thursday for some training in Groton before he reports to Pearl Harbor. And it'll be nice to have Mary around for almost the whole summer! Hugs, k.

Hey, Jim! It was nice you got to meet Father Walker... he has posted here a few times. So, you're out there building the "network!" The tie certainly leaves NO doubts as to where your loyalties lie! Hugs to the Mrs. for me, k.

Comment by Kaye S. on May 15, 2010 at 10:28pm
Don't worry, Pat. I'll be sure to take your share of hugs, so they don't go to waste!

Kaye S: I never thought about it being harder for him too. But that makes complete sense.. I can not wait for graduation I here it something special.. My son will be going on his 4th week next week and it feels like it has been 6 months.. But the finish line is getting closer...
