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 July 27, 2011 at 9:45am: YAY! That's at least 3 of us! I'm going to invite Maryland Mom (Donna) too. She lives in Cumberland and said she may be able to drive up to Columbia. Should I ask her now? It is a 3 hour drive for her and just want to make sure that we are definiitely planning for the 6th, before I do ask her.

Comment by lori on July 26, 2011 at 3:50pm: Betsy- I'm open Aug 6th. Maybe Cindy will be free then too?

Cindy- I know it must be hard packing up memories, never an easy thing to do. Glad you found a place that will have your commute closer. That's awesome news about Paul. Glad he's loving what he's doing!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 26, 2011 at 3:33pm: Cindy, ((hugs)). Good luck and my prayers to you on your fresh start.

Lori, no problem, I understand. Maybe we can do next Saturday?

Ok, ladies, how many of us are free on Saturday, Aug. 6? (I do have plans on Aug. 12th, so that date is out for me.) If we go for a late lunch, my daughter may actually be the hostess. :) But, she works the late afternoon shift at PF Changs on Saturdays, which is usually around 3p.m.,

Comment by lori on July 26, 2011 at 1:51pm: Betsy, my daughter needs me to watch the kids on Saturday. Their car is about to die and that is the only time they have to go without them. Just when I thought it was going to happen too! Another date ladies?

Comment by lori on July 25, 2011 at 6:53pm: Cindy, wish you could come too! I'll bet the sand was to hot to walk on!

Betsy, here's my email address as I'm more likely to check that. x6nana@verizon.net

Saturday looks good so far. What time?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 25, 2011 at 3:37pm: Oh no Cindy, I wish you could come. Where are you moving too? That's awesome that your sailor is doing well. It sounds like pretty exciting :)

Lori, should we make a reservation for Saturday? I will let MarylandMom know too.

Can anyone else make it this coming Saturday? PF Chang in Columbia, MD?

Comment by lori on July 23, 2011 at 6:20pm: I have been so busy lately I have neglected this site! Sorry : (

The 30th sounds like it may work for me.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 23, 2011 at 5:41pm: Me too. :)

Comment by Linda on July 21, 2011 at 10:53pm: The 30th sounds good to me!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 20, 2011 at 9:52pm: Well, the all dreaded security interview is now history. He was here for an hour and 20 minutes and half of the time we weren't even talking about my son. I guess that's a good sign, right? lol He was a really nice older man and we talked about all kinds of things :)

Ladies, we only have 2 more Saturdays in July and since I hadn't heard anyting about this Sat., I accepted a babysitting stint for my grandson. Are we doing the 30th of July? Anyone out there? :)
