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 Kac46047 on December 7, 2010 at 2:30pm: Penny im pretty sure i read somewhere that age doesnt matter. the meet and great is early enough the bar scene wont start till around 10.

Comment by KLP0824 on December 7, 2010 at 2:23pm: Kathy you so silly you always make me laugh cant wait to meet you

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 7, 2010 at 2:17pm: scottysmom ... nope, nothing besides the form letter. We are all hoping that they got to write letters this past Sunday and maybe, just maybe, we might get mail from them the middle of this week. Stay tuned ... as I'm sure anybody getting a letter will announce it from the roof tops.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 7, 2010 at 2:15pm: So at the Ramada, if some of the guests are younger than 21 - then does that mean they can't go into the bar for the M&G??? Typically that is how it works. Most of these recruits are younger than 21 and some are even married and have wives that are not "of age". Is there any concession for them? Just wondering.

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 7, 2010 at 1:29pm: Only the form letter for me..

Comment by scottysmom(ship 7div55) on December 7, 2010 at 1:27pm: Kathy, thank you for setting up the meet and greet. Are you flying in to IL? I live in upstate NY, and can't figure out if I should drive, fly or take amtrak. I'm afraid of a storm and missing graduation because of it.

Has any one received a letter yet besides the form letter?

Comment by Kathy Ship 11 Div 057 on December 7, 2010 at 12:08pm: BTW I was originally staying at candlewood suites, but Ramada has a suite a little cheaper for 83.00 a night w/ graduation, so changed my reservation. Plus this way I wont have to drive if it snows lol This Florida girl is in for a big temperature shock. I told the kids I am not turning on the heat (it dropped to high 30's last night and for us that is FREEZIN COLD), because I am "in training" for our visit to ILLINOIS lol

Comment by Kathy Ship 11 Div 057 on December 7, 2010 at 11:46am: LOOK! I can't believe it ...but I think I actually figured out how to add the meet and greet event for us!!!Thank you JessicaB!
