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 Jesusintheboat on December 22, 2015 at 2:30pm: Oh Maggs wish I could be there to give you a BIG hug. Here for you in prayer.

Comment by Jesusintheboat on December 22, 2015 at 10:10am: I so like the pictures. That snowman , I laughed so hard- it is right on -supposed to be in the 70's here for Christmas .I am in the midwest ,Missouri. Hugs for all of you and prayers that this time is a bit of a rough time-I get sad off and on as this is the 2nd year my sailor will not be home but otherwise much to be thankful to the Lord for. So glad you had a great time in Vegas Anti-M and yes so tragic. Merry Christmas everyone. Thinking about all of you. :)

Comment by scully_the_skeptic on December 22, 2015 at 9:14am: Merry Christmas to all of you. I mostly lurk - so wonderful to see all of your stories and shares.

momplus2 - if your sailor cannot rent the car, maybe you can a car (he can pay you) and he can use yours?

I ordered a beautiful Christmas door wreath from Esty. The vendor handmakes them and it was perfect.

May you all continue to be blessed this Christmas season.

Comment by Anti M on December 22, 2015 at 7:41am: I think I've had my holiday. We went to Vegas for Santa Rampage, which was a blast. Hubby bought me some fancy stuff in the Forum Shops at Ceasar's Palace, and we ate at the Cheesecake Factory. Our friends came along too, so much fun. Scary to think we were at the very place the tragedy happened just a few hours later. I am weeping for those poor people and their families, and that tragic disturbed young woman.

I am having surgery the 28th, and have to prep that weekend (yuck ick ugh), so no Christmas dinner for me, and I'll be in the hospital for New Years.

Good news, my 'Pan sailor, who is now on a precomm in Miss, is a chief selectee, and he and the wife are newly expecting! Yay!

Comment by T-Lynn on December 21, 2015 at 10:13pm: HI

Blessing of the Yule! or happy first day of Winter.

Oh Blondie - gentle hugs. And it was nice to hear you are relaxed. but your relax and my relax are so different.

Glad to hear Drew you are doing better. Keep moving one foot in front of the other - you'll do fine.

Well, today was so overcast - rainy adn a damp cold. Even though it was in the 40s. With all this warm weather and no snow - makes me wonder when the BIG one is coming.

Everyone take care - hugs to all.

Maggs - check in please.

Comment by Anti M on December 21, 2015 at 8:42am: I think it varies by rental company... Alamo does offer rentals for military over 21, but there may be a fee. Have him check your local rental place.

Comment by momplus2 on December 21, 2015 at 3:07am: Good Morning Ladies...hope your holiday shopping is complete. I am so delighted to have my sailor home for the holidays this year. It's been 4 years! I have a question for anyone that may know. He would like to rent a car. He is only 22 years old. I know in California the legal age to rent a car is 25.He thinks it is different for military. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, please enlightened me. Happy Holidays to ALL!
