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 lori on March 11, 2011 at 8:52pm: Donna, that is a good question. I wondered the same thing. My son has spent 8 months in GL and he of course had to do his taxes. And pay. But not Chicago tax. When he gets to SD and is there for 6 months [?] and then to wherever he's stationed he will still have to file for MD taxes. Makes no sense to me at all as he won't be living in MD for the next 5 years. Have you tried asking this question on another site on NM? I would be interested to know the answer too.
I had heard about the freeze Obama wants to do and I think it's outrageous if it happens.

Comment by HisMom on March 11, 2011 at 3:44pm: I still remember he used to LOVE the frogs legs...ugh! He used to take me out on the floor and dance when the band played. What a wonderful memory. Thanks, my dad has been gone for 2 years now and I miss him dearly.

Comment by HisMom on March 11, 2011 at 3:43pm: I have known olney since I was a little girl. My dad used to take me to dinner at the Silo Inn. It was one of my favorite places!

Comment by lori on March 11, 2011 at 3:22pm: Hi Joanne, glad to see you back.

HisMom- you live in Westminster and you know "little 'ole Olney"!

Comment by HisMom on March 11, 2011 at 10:59am: Linda I am new also. My son's PIR is 4/15/11 I am learning

Comment by HisMom on March 11, 2011 at 10:50am: Hey! I know Olney! I live near Westminster.

Comment by lori on March 11, 2011 at 10:02am: Linda- welcome! Have you heard from your son yet? I remember the "newness" of first starting out on this Navy journey! I was learning all the time and still am! My son grad BC May 26th last year. He is an ET and will be going to C school in SD at the beginning of April.

You don't live too far from me. Do you know Olney?

Comment by Linda on March 11, 2011 at 12:42am: Hi, I just found this Maryland group and it is nice to have a local connection. My son left for boot camp on 2/22/11 and is in Ship 03 Div 142. He will graduate 4/22/11. This is all still very new for me!

Comment by HisMom on March 10, 2011 at 1:37pm: the RDC put him in charge of PT. I am impressed. They offered him Yeoman but he said he would rather do the PT. He was an office manager before joining I guess he had enough paper work.
