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 T-Lynn on December 27, 2011 at 5:06pm: Kim - that engagement pic is sweet. And I agree, you need to see you dr. Your body might be on overload. With the injury to your toe and the added severe cold - your body doesn't know which to get to first.

But promise - a stronger Spell will be sent as I maintain the Reiki energy. Jeffiner - your a Reiki Master - kick in here and as we have sent out thoughts to Nick and Heath - Kim needs us now.

I believe Kathy and her son are under the weather too.

Add them to you list and thanks :) hugs all

Comment by Kim on December 27, 2011 at 3:54pm: No, I am not feeling better. I am worse today. I think I need more powerful drugs or a more powerful healing spell. Does anyone have a good home remedy for a cold? I am really dizzy today, headache, really stuffy, and it hurts to take a deep breath. I am also on vacation and was planning on getting so much done around the house. I am still in the walking cast for my toe/foot.

The picture was Dec 29th last year when they where engaged. I will make sure they take pictures when she arrives. I am lousy at taking pictures.

Navymom3, I did the link thing.

Comment by Kim on December 27, 2011 at 10:56am: Welcome sailorwifenmom. I see you are in the northeast. How is the base doing after the tsunami? My son was stationed in Sasebo. He now lives in San Diego. My daughter in law is Japanese. She had to stay behind to wait for her visa. Tomorrow, she is flying to San Diego. They have been apart since last May. We love this group so much that we never leave. All are welcome to join.

Comment by sailorwifenmom on December 27, 2011 at 9:39am: We were just in the USO in Seattle when we were going to and from the States to see our son graduate from boot camp earlier this month. Katlanta is right - the USO there will take great care of him. They have a bunk room with like 6 bunk beds (12 beds total) where they can grab a couple of hours sleep (complete with them coming in to wake you for your flight), they have showers, huge overstuffed leather couches, a big screen tv, books, internet, all sorts of stuff. They even have a room for families traveling with little kids that have toys and cribs in it. He can also get something to eat there, and they will also store his luggage for him until he can check in. It can be hard having your kid so far away (our son is stationed in Florida while we're here in Japan), but Japan really is a nice place. I think he's going to have a lot of fun here.
