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."

I hope everyone had a great time on Saturday.  I certainly did!!  Thank you Sheryl for being such a wonderful hostess.  You are the best!  It was nice to meet some new Moms, I hope you enjoyed the party.  It is always nice to be able to talk and, yes, laugh with Moms who can really understand what is happening in all our lives.

Hey everyone!!  A good number of you met Sheryl when we helped the UMass/Lowell cheerleaders with their packing party in Dec.  She might not tell you this, but I will ... she will be moving to Buffalo shortly after this party and get-together so this is also your chance to wish her well.

I live in Plainville and will be going.  Anyone from this area who would like to share a ride please let me know.  You can leave a message in the discussion above.

Comment by sheryl Navy 2 on February 13, 2012 at 10:32pm
I have just posted a discussion for the upcoming Febuary Packing party .please take a look and also indicate what you will be bringing to the brunch so we don't end up with all meatballs or brownies :)
Let's make this a good one ladies .it is dear to mine and PRoud/NYPD heart to send them lots of Hugs ..
