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 March 29, 2013 at 12:28pm: Ok, Linda, we will figure it out when the time gets closer.

Comment by Linda on March 27, 2013 at 10:33pm: I'm in for lunch. Betsy - I'd love to carpool again.

Joanne - hope you're feeling better now.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 26, 2013 at 11:04pm: Linda, :) see, prayer is pretty powerful, lol. We can carpool if you want too. I'm so glad you can come.

Comment by lori on March 26, 2013 at 8:25pm: Linda that's great! Looks like we will have 5 of us?

Comment by Linda on March 26, 2013 at 7:59pm: Hey Betsy - your wish (and mine) came true. My course in Wisconsin was cancelled for April 6. I think the registration was low since it is the week after Easter and spring break for some, and the economy. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 23, 2013 at 9:50am: Joanne, I sure hope that your Saturday is a better day than yesterday. You poor thing. ((Hugs))

Linda, Wow, what a Friday you had, as well. I hope your aunt and daughter have a quick and uneventful recovery. I will be praying that your class gets cancelled, so you can join us on the 6th. :)

Can't wait to see you all on the 6th. mickey, I do hope you can come.

Comment by Linda on March 22, 2013 at 8:43pm: Hi everyone,

Welcome Big Blue and MIckey! I hope to meet you in the future. It doesn't look like I can make it on April 6 unless the course I am supposed to teach in Wisconsin gets cancelled.

My son is on a sub stationed in Bangor, WA. I heard from him in February, but I'm not sure when he will be back at this point.

Joanne - I hope you are at home enjoying your tea after the day you had!

Yesterday was busy for me - I was with my aunt for her outpatient surgery and my husband was with our daughter who had oral surgery. Everyone is doing well, but I am certainly glad it's Friday.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Comment by lori on March 22, 2013 at 7:19pm: Joanne- sorry the bank saga is continuing. Why can't it have been easy and straight forward?

Being rear-ended on top of it all? Not a good Friday for you : (

I'm with you on getting into warm PJ's and chilling in front of the TV. Except after the week I've had it's going to be with wine and NOT tea!

Mickey- I sure hope you can come to the lunch- it would be wonderful to meet you!

BigBlue- well we all know you are enjoying having your sailor home now!

Comment by mickey71193 on March 22, 2013 at 5:12pm: Joanne thank you for all the support it is very comforting.

I am sorry you have had such a bad day it sounds like PJ's is just what is needed and especially the tea!!!! In my house tea makes everything better.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 22, 2013 at 4:01pm: Wow, mickey, a Navy sailor and two young ones at home. I bet you are a busy lady. I hope we get a chance to meet you on the 6th. :)
