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 July 8, 2011 at 12:44pm: Love the photos! They ALL look so handsome in their uniforms! We got us some handsome looking young men I'd say!

What about next Saturday? Let's get a vote!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 8, 2011 at 12:06pm: Thank you, Cindy.

Have we decided on a date for PF Chang's yet? I could even go tomorrow, but I guess that's not enough notice. LOL

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 8, 2011 at 11:29am: Thank you Cindy. We have all been blessed with good looking sailors. :)

This is a better picture of my grand daughter, (in the last one she was looking pretty worn out after our 16 hours drive, lol)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 7, 2011 at 9:43pm: I asked him to put on his dress whites, just so I could see how handsome he is in them. :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 7, 2011 at 9:40pm: Hi Ladies!

Linda, he is a very good looking sailor and you have a beautiful family.

JoanneB, I hope all went well with the wedding.

I'm good for any Saturday so far this month.

I just got back from Pensacola and I have a couple of pictures to share too. My sailor is now happy because we drove a car down to him. He is classing up on Friday, so he will start class soon. Woohoo! We all had a great time (husband and my sil went too). This trip was a lot of fun, since we surprised Adam with bringing my grand daughter to see. He was really happy to see his niece. :)

Comment by lori on July 6, 2011 at 2:24pm: Hey ladies,

Been a long time since I've been on here. It was good to see some posts. Loved the photo of your family Linda. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.

I'm all for a lunch date this month. Any saturday is open so far. The last one I might try and go see my daughter and her family in NC but that hasn't been planned yet.

Comment by Linda on July 5, 2011 at 12:02am: I can't believe this weekend is already over! My son arrived around 9 pm on Friday. He said they got a standing ovation at Charleston airport and were boarded right after business class (Southwest).

When he arrived in Baltimore, family and friends greeted him with signs, balloons, flags, and lots of cheers. This was the first time I saw him in dress whites and he looked so handsome! A few weeks ago, I asked him to have someone take a picture of him and send it to me but he said I had to wait until he came home (it was worth the wait!). After getting lots of hugs, he just wanted to go home. He left for boot camp on 2/22/11-my husband and I saw him at PIR along with his older brother, but he had not seen everyone else for almost 5 months. He really tried to spend time with family as well as friends and he did a great job. I can't wait until we see him again!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July! Looking forward to getting together with all of you (hopefully soon)!
