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."

Happy New Year to everyone!  May we all be blessed with a happy and prosperous 2011.  May our sailors and other children remain safe.

Hi Margit...my dtr spent 5 years @ Bangor (prior to entering the Academy) working as a Master @ Arms.  If you haven't been to that part of the country before, its breathtaking.  Plenty to see, things to do.  Have fun with David being close to home.  Kay (dtr) got really tired of the rain but her dad and I did enjoy driving up to Bangor and also having her home several times a year. Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas all.  The get together was fun....very small group.  Maybe we can try another one after the first of the year.

Enjoy your time with your families.

Hi all...how did the get together go? No one has mentioned it.  Hope everything went well and all had a good time.  Sorry to have missed it. 

Kim...sorry to hear about Alex.  Unforturnately those coccyx injuries seem to take longer to head than anything else.  Consider where they are located and how often that part moves...no wonder!  He'll be back to normal in no time.  He's strong.

Mery Christmas to everyone.  Enjoy your time with your sailors, if they are lucky enough to be home with you as mine is.

Rikki Lee...enjoy your time with Austin...wish my son could be home this year.

Barbarajean...we will miss you.  Get better quickly so that you can enjoy the holidays with your family.  See you at the next get together!

The party is at my house on Sunday, the 12th at 1pm.  Address is 5514 Lake River Lane in Boise.  I am located off State Street.  Best bet is to use google maps.  We are having an ornament exchange and will also be collecting toys for Toys for Tots.  See you Sunday!

Sharon...what day is your open house? We'd love to come!
Comment by snowmc on December 7, 2010 at 10:47pm
1pm...see you then!
Comment by snowmc on December 7, 2010 at 7:53pm
YEAH!!!! Can't wait to see everyone! Let's do an ornament exchange. And if you would like to donate an unwrapped gift to Toys for Tots, I will be happy to deliver them.
