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 Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on July 1, 2014 at 5:53pm: MI Mom, Sending prayers! I agree that the RDCs want him to pass as much as he does. Hang in there.

Sherwood's sounds like a great idea. I'm game. Wish I could make the cardmaking, but it won't work for me on a weekday.

Comment by karent0801 on July 1, 2014 at 10:15am: As a suggestion for another time, I would love to go to Sherwood's, which is right in that same plaza with the wine tasting place. It's a microbrewery and they make root beer, and I believe, ice cream. Wendy told me about it.....feel free to chime in!

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on July 1, 2014 at 8:58am: MI Mom, it was great to have you join us and meet you at the wine tasting! It was a really fun time and hope you had a great time at tour dinner!! Hoping someone will step up to organize the next event!!! ;)

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on July 1, 2014 at 8:56am: MI Mom, Prayers for him and you as well!! Hang in there, the RDC's want him to pass!! It is so hard not being able to help him, though he is in good hands!! The power of prayers, he will do great!!!

Comment by karent0801 on July 1, 2014 at 8:26am: MI mom - Prayers being sent!

Comment by Seabeemom on July 1, 2014 at 6:00am: MI mom,
Keep those prayers going for your son. This will be one of many growth experiences he will have. Prayers also for you as well as you support him through his ups and downs!

Comment by Colleen on July 1, 2014 at 5:57am: MI Mom - I'm praying for peace and calm thinking for your son.

Comment by Miss Conception on July 1, 2014 at 2:42am: Mi mom, try not to worry too much. Most of the people that fail those tests were busy doing other things when the rest of the division was able to study slides with the test questions on them. He will likely be able to study as much as he needs to by then because the RDC's want him to pass as much as he does.

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on June 30, 2014 at 9:58pm: MI Mom, your son is in my prayers.

Comment by MI Mom on June 30, 2014 at 9:06pm: Michigan Moms please pray for my son. We got a call from him today and he failed one of his tests. If he fails it for the second time on Wednesday we are going to get a call and he may get sent home. He is a really good kid and helpful kind person in general who is very deserving. Thank you for your help. As always if there is anything I can do for you just reach out. For those at the wine tasting it was a great time I could use some of that wine right now. I am in Milwaukee today for work just 40 miles away and there is nothing I can do but pray.
