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 HisMom on October 24, 2011 at 7:08am: Deneen I am also glad you and Debbie had a chance to have a Mom's lunch. I think we will keep having lunches whenever and one day we will have the whole group. I am definately going to have to do something....I have stuff to send and it is taking over the spare room. lol.

Comment by HisMom on October 23, 2011 at 5:52pm: I am in the process of finding out all kinds of good stuff especially how to get pepsi to pick up the postage tab. I have at least 4 people that want to help also.

Comment by HisMom on October 22, 2011 at 10:37am: debbie it is an hour away for me. We need to better plan a packing party and maybe seek assistance from one of the pros. Why don't you slip down to J & P and have lunch with whoever shows up. If there is enough to ship....ship it. If not save it and I will try to get some assistance from the ones who are really good at this. deal?

Comment by HisMom on October 22, 2011 at 10:17am: ok it is 10;00 are we or aren't we?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 21, 2011 at 1:41pm: HisMom, well.......as of yesterday my husband was saying Carroll County, but today he has switched back to Howard County. I wish he would make up his mind for good. :( I like Carroll County, but I know that his commute to DC would be longer, so I'm trying not to complain about Howard County too much. We are hoping to keep it under about $400,000, but if we are looking at Howard County again, that could be tough to do.

Comment by HisMom on October 21, 2011 at 10:31am: Ok I will try to bring someone along as well.

Hey Betsy.....how much you want to spend? I know of a nice place in Gamber.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 21, 2011 at 9:53am: Ugh! Things change so quickly in my world. Well, now that we don't have our grand daughter, my husband wants to meet with a realtor and look at houses tomorrow. I'm disappointed that I can't make it. :( Have fun ladies and I will be there the next time, for sure.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 20, 2011 at 10:12pm: I can come too, and I won't have my grand daughter with me

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 20, 2011 at 3:56pm: Ok, I'll see what I can do. Maybe I can make a trip to the Dollar Store tomorrow and find some goodies.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 20, 2011 at 2:52pm: Debbie, Ahhh, I know where that is. We are looking for a house in areas of Eldersburg/Sykesville, but maybe I will check out St. Louis in the meantime.

I will have to see if I can make it on Saturday, not sure yet, as I might have my 9 year old grand daughter with me. But, if I do, maybe I could bring her to help? Would that be ok? If not, it's perfectly fine and I will catch up with the next time.
