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 Binker & Bro: 2X Nuke Mom on March 14, 2011 at 3:31am: okay. I give up. I had a nice message written to everyone and just erased it. I've been thinking of you all. Binker has decided he's getting married. We will probably have a snow day tomorrow. Sheila my prayers are with your dad and your mom. It hurts to lose our four legged children. I lost my daddy not too long ago. hold on tight. Your son will remember his commissioning for ever. It was one of the proudest moments of my life. Dolphin, feel better. Come visit if you need a place to stay on the way to BS. I hope Bink makes it there. Jboys-thanks for trying, but I need to do my getting away to see my kids and that hasnt happened since Christmas with all the stupid snow days. Hi to you all. Spit on Target. I think that about summerizes it. How am I going to get through teaching tomorrow. or rather this morning.

Comment by babrams7 on March 11, 2011 at 6:15pm: Sheila - Congrats to all of your children plus the DIL

Comment by jboysmom on March 11, 2011 at 1:34pm: Woohoo, Sheila! That is such great news. I think the sunshine I am seeing today is from your beaming proud Mama smile!!!

Comment by jboysmom on March 6, 2011 at 3:25pm: Sorry, but due to the lack of interest in the get-together at Cumberland Falls, I have decided to cancel our reservations. We will not be getting together for this weekend, but hopefully we can get a lunch together planned some Saturday or Sunday later in the spring.

Comment by babrams7 on March 1, 2011 at 5:05pm: Praying for you dad Sheila please keep us updated.

Dolphin - I hope the traveling didn't make you too uncomfortable and that you are doing ok.

Comment by Cornerstone Mom on February 27, 2011 at 12:10am: Shelia so sorry to hear about your Mom's dog, they are just like family. Prayers for you guys.

Dolphin glad you are better praying your trip on Tuesday will be a good one.

Comment by Cornerstone Mom on February 24, 2011 at 2:30pm: Oh Dolphin I didnt know, let me know if you need anything. I would be glad to help. Rest as much as possible.

Comment by babrams7 on February 23, 2011 at 10:15am: Dolphin - I hope you are having an easy recovery.

The trip to Cumberland sounds great, I love it down there but I won't be able to attend this one. I'll be looking forward to the next event.

Comment by Cornerstone Mom on February 22, 2011 at 1:16pm: Hey ladies hope all is well, I havent been on in a while. Wish I could go, but still busy time at work, maybe I can catch the next one.

Comment by jboysmom on February 20, 2011 at 4:27pm: Ok, Ky Navy Moms, we have our next get-together scheduled. Now I need to hear from you if you plan to attend.

I have reserved 2 cabins at Cumberland Falls State Park for their next moonbow weekend. I reserved both Friday and Saturday nights for March 18-20 so that we could have more time to spend together. Both cabins are next to each other and each cabin has 3 queen beds. I had to go ahead and pay for them for the first night, but I can cancel the Friday night if we only want to have them for Saturday night. Please let me know if we want to change to only 1 night instead of 2 nights so I can make the change in our reservation.

I was able to get my state employee discount and got the cabins for half price! Each cabin will be $93 per night instead of the usual $190 per night. That is another reason I went ahead and reserved for 2 nights since we are getting them for half price. But I can change it to 1 night if everyone doesn't want to be there both nights. Just let me know.
