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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 3, 2013 at 1:40pm: Yay, Mickey! It will be so nice to meet you.

Joanne, I say, Go for it! :)

I will probably be wearing a pink Navy mom t-shirt.

Comment by lori on April 3, 2013 at 1:34pm: Mickey- so glad you will be able to join us! Good thing I already know you Joanne or I would be looking for the confused lady!

Comment by mickey71193 on April 3, 2013 at 12:59pm: I am planning on joining you guys for lunch on Saturday also. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 3, 2013 at 12:37pm: Oh, my bad. You are both right, we did say Uno's. I had forgotten that you could eat the gluten free pizza, Lori.

What time did we say? Linda said she was coming too.

Comment by lori on April 3, 2013 at 10:16am: I'm in. We had decided on Uno's right? Makes a change and it's right there next to Chang's I think. I haven't been to Uno's for a long time. They have a gluten free pizza that was decent from what I remember.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 3, 2013 at 10:07am: Joanne, I am still on! But, I thought we were going to PF Chang's again, although I could be wrong?

Comment by Linda on March 31, 2013 at 10:03pm: Happy Easter!

Comment by lori on March 31, 2013 at 2:22pm: Happy Easter to all of you! We are still in NC. Tried to go down to the water just now and it's so windy [ upper 50s] that you feel like you're being exfoliated! I lasted 10 mins. Most everyone else is drifting back up too. It's been a great week [ though not very warm] being with half my kids and grandkids. I really think I could get use to living in NC! We leave tomorrow.

See you all next Saturday!
