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 Blondie on January 10, 2017 at 11:05am: We are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace. —1 Chronicles 29:15

Maggs, hope all is going well with you. Prayers continue.

Comment by T-Lynn on January 10, 2017 at 12:30am: HI

All getting better. Just a slow pace. But weather wise - in the upper 40's tomorrow! What a roller coaster ride of weather.

Baby shower sounds fun. Share a hug please with her.

Sweet dreams all

The USS Operations Hugs - need more hugs

Comment by Blondie on January 9, 2017 at 8:54am: why every time I go to post it asks me to Prove I'm not a robot?! UGG

Comment by Blondie on January 9, 2017 at 8:53am: HUGS, I haven't left go yet. But once I get to VA I'll give you a breather while I collect and give family Hugs.

Our temps are above zero but wind chill(feels like) still in the negatives, I do see that warm up coming our way...with rain/sleet and snow! Sailors sent me a pictures Saturday, they're covered with snow. LOL not so funny tho when I think that's where I'm heading! But they have a fire place and we are having a soup bar and a hot chocolate bar for the baby shower so lots of good smells and warmth. The Theme is Baby it's COLD outside. These girls crack me up! So excited to be there and see everyone, collect hundreds of hugs, some over a year old! Geez where does the time go? Why can't they all be stationed at the same command? Oh well we will make the Best of their 4 day weekend.

T-Lynn good luck with your Scouts. Everyone's healthy there?

Comment by T-Lynn on January 9, 2017 at 1:03am: Thank you Navyfan and NavyMum

Comment by T-Lynn on January 9, 2017 at 1:00am: Navy Pan Moms Alert !!!

Urgent need of a supply of hugs.

Dear Maggs,

We see you sitting in your seat, all ready to take flight.

In the quiet you hear your heart beat, but know you are not alone.

For gentle arms surround you and warm hugs you will continuously feel.

For your fellow Navy Pan Moms are sending them your way. For you are loved so dear.

Gentle Hugs dear friend - from Navy Pan Mom TLynn

Ok Navy Pan Moms start sending your hugs.

The USS Operations Hugs is underway.

Comment by T-Lynn on January 9, 2017 at 12:32am: Have to try to replace the poem to Maggs. I was checking and click and it's gone ! Sorry

Comment by NavyMum on January 8, 2017 at 8:16pm: (((((Hugs)))) Maggs

Comment by T-Lynn on January 8, 2017 at 7:13pm: HI

Maggs - Good to hear that hubby's scan was clear. And that he is doing ok with treatments. So wising a safe and easy trip, both ways. Sad to learn that you will miss teh birth, but great news that you can skype. You do have a pass word set up for this skyping - right? Otherwise Angel is just going to go wild talking to new cat friends around the world.

Blondie - can freeze my nose off here too.But it's suppose to be passing soon. High 40's on Wednesday. So warmer weather is coming your way - at least for a bit.

Nothing mush here going on . Tomorrow back with scouts - so getting examples ready for help teh boys get some ideas on what to do to create their own treasure map. I am going to show them that REAL treasure hunters do exist and how they find it. And then talk about maps/clues. Wish me luck.

Need to split - wish all a great week.
