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 Anti M on July 10, 2016 at 5:30pm: He can check the ITT (leisure travel) office at MWR. Sometimes they can get better deals than we can. But $1800 is about right. He will want to sign up for the MWR shuttle too.

Comment by T-Lynn on July 9, 2016 at 10:52pm: Hi

YIPPEE Maggs !!!!! Soon you will part of the Granny Club. I agree, things are looking good for you. So happy.

I saw on fb, a fireworks program from Japan. Anti M is so right - awesome. Sorry to hear the base cancelled theirs.

Kim - glad you had a good time.

Blondie, Wonderful how Conor loves his new sister, but now not getting all the attention could be hurtful. But with all love that is shared in your family - he will be ok.

No new gossip here. Just cleaning - major cleaning. Hurray the garage has had its' clutter removed, been sweep ( even the ceiling) and arranged in order. I don't want to the let the car back in! Just get a few days to look at it.

Well hope everyone has a good weekend - hugs

Comment by Anti M on July 9, 2016 at 6:37pm: The cancelled fireworks are the ones on base, and personal fireworks. The City of Yokosuka probably still does theirs, which is the one I was talking about.
