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 oneL04 on June 3, 2010 at 10:26pm: Ugh I wish I woulda WON them, I paid :( but my friend and her boyfriend are coming up from Florida with me too. Anyone else going, let me know.

BTW, Casey, my name is Alex..haha OneL04 sounds funny!

Comment by oneL04 on June 3, 2010 at 3:01pm: Cindy - the Days Inn isn't that bad. I havent personally stayed there, but it doesnt seem too shabby. I usually stay at the Courtyard in North Charleston (nice and close to the interstate) but this weekend I'm staying at the Fairfield Inn and Suites in North Charleston (Marriott rewards member! lol).

Going to the Zac Brown Band concert this weekend..anyone else going?! Should be a good time :)

Comment by RosaEdsmom on June 3, 2010 at 12:39pm: Thanks to all for the info. on patches. I texted Ed the info.:)
I have to say,"It is wonderful having you girls...just a click away." I soo appreciate the help. Have a great day:))

Comment by Kathy on June 3, 2010 at 9:55am: Cindy--I've had family and friends stay at the Days Inn and they said it wasn't bad. they also give military discounts. I've stayed at a wingate before and they are nice! the one in n. chas. is actually only like 10-15 min. away, so it's not bad. it might even work out nicer..since I'm assuming he lives in the BEQ, you can't get back there with your car anyway...by the time he walks to somewhere where you can pick him up, the 10-15 will go by fast.

Chris mom-we used the uniform shop on base the first few months (bc we didn't know we could go elsewhere)..they are always backed up and i've found the service is not very good. lines are long too esp if you r just dropping stuff off. I have had problems with Sentry cleaners (closest drycleaner on base--off redbank rd in food lion plaza)..they didn't have the clothes promised on time and even called me to come in..only to find out they didn't even start on them!

The one I use (and was recommended) is on Rivers Ave...next to the Race Way gas station. It says "drycleaner" on the building..so not sure of the name lol they are efficient and quick..and i think i usually pay $6-9 for patches.

Comment by Kathy on June 2, 2010 at 9:00pm: Edsmom--I don't know where you live, but I usually take it to drycleaners off base..the ones on base are usually backed up by weeks. the drycleaners usually have stuff back to me within a day or two

Comment by RosaEdsmom on June 2, 2010 at 6:43pm: Thanks Darla, but I also remember someone mentioning a place off base that does a great job.

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on June 2, 2010 at 12:40pm: Hey Traci...........where are you? LOL
How's Perry doing? Rob is finishing up in GL and will be heading down in a few days. Keep in touch....

Comment by RosaEdsmom on June 2, 2010 at 9:50am: Hey Ladies~ Hope all is well. I have a questions (of course) .lol. Where is a good place to have patches sewn on?

Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on June 2, 2010 at 7:17am: that would be pretty sweet... no he is still in phase one ( for a few more weeks)... he loves it so far... very tired everyday, hopefully the vols will give him a chance to bounce back to the boyfriend i remember him as... not this cranky one... lol

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on June 2, 2010 at 6:41am: Aw man. Aaron classed up on March 16th. I was hoping they were in the same class. How cool would that have been!? :)
