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 MarianneKT's Mom on April 2, 2015 at 6:09pm: Seabeemom - Congratulations to your son and his fiancé!

Comment by Seabeemom on April 2, 2015 at 1:24pm: Our son got engaged and will be getting married to a wonderful girl this summer! We will be heading over to Germany for the wedding and can hardly wait!

Comment by Lorraine on April 2, 2015 at 10:46am: Enjoying the warm up this week. Are you out running, Colleen? Still no orders for Scott yet and baby Ari is growing like a weed. Sure wish I was able to hug that little girl every week. Scott turned 26 yesterday - he's come a long way in 6 years. I hope the next 3 years in the Navy help him develop a good plan for life after the Navy in 2018.

Comment by LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on March 22, 2015 at 6:10pm: Kathy B, sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by tysmom on March 22, 2015 at 5:06pm: Kathy , I am so sorry for your loss. I have been praying for your family. 66 years is a long time, it will be very hard for FIL.

Kathy B, hugs and prayers for your family and FIL. 66 years is a long time.
So glad the mud is nearly gone and looking forward to another warm day. Enjoying the end of winter.

Comment by Colleen on March 17, 2015 at 5:54am: Kathy, sorry to hear about your MIL. Hospice staff are the most wonderful people. Prayers for you and your husband.

No flowers yet here, but I did see/smell my first indication of spring - a dead skunk in the road.

Comment by LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on March 15, 2015 at 11:26am: Kathy B, thinking of you and your family during this sad time. Prayers to everyone. I have no flowers but plenty of weeds.
