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."

If you check my post from last week I posted directions to Bardeney from the freeway. Hope this helps. Jane

Kim, and others...I am definately in NO SHAPE to zip line! Believe me!
Physical address of Bardenay in Eagle escapes me, but I can give you directions easy enough. If you exit the interstate @ Eagle Road and go north you take a right at the light just before State Street. The Hilton Gardens is on that corner as well. If everyone is in agreement I can look up the address and post it. If anyone else has suggestions, would love to hear them. I suggested this one because (other than it being one of my favorites) I just wanted to get the ball rolling! Have a good week.

I think we got here after their growth spurt!! I don't know about all of them but the few football players I saw, well, just no way my baby girl was going to tackle them!! I don't think she knows what the glitch is. Last I heard they are still working on it. She's confident it'll get fixed without any problems. I don't think she is too concerned about it today...she leaves on a 7 day pleasure cruise to Alaska tomorrow. I'm envious.

Cindy...she was 22 on 07.23. She played football for middle and high school in Ft. Worth, TX. When we moved to Idaho the boys were toooooo big for her to try out for the team. Her dad and I said, "absolutely not"! So she played soccer, basketball and softball...all girls teams. Not much activity on this site. Hope all is well with everyone. Oh, by the way...the Navy had a clitch (surprise, surprise) and her re-enlistment is invalid. Everyone is working on it now to correct the mistake. She assures me she is still getting a paycheck! Got to love it...but we just gotta go with it.

Cindy... and she just turned 22 last week. Yes, she is a go getter. She has goals and she has always worked hard to get them. She graduated HS at 16. Played football on the boys team in middle school. She sets her mind to something, she accomplishes it.
