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 January 29, 2011 at 11:17am: Just got done shoveling the 3-4 inches of snow we got last night. It looks like it's done snowing--I hope! Looking forward to meeting some of you tomorrow!

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on January 29, 2011 at 10:56am: Wishing you a great get together tomorrow!! I am unable to make it this time, we are having a celebration at our church for our Pastor, wife and family as they are adopting two children, a brother and sister. It is our way of welcoming them into "our" church family.

Can't wait to hear how the day goes!! Enjoy your time together!

Comment by Colleen on January 29, 2011 at 10:32am: Hey there the 3dsmom Proud Navy/Army Mom,

You can let me know until the morning of Feb. 26. Since we are not using the meeting room, I'm just calling in that morning and letting them know how many to set up for on the main floor.

Comment by CathieRenee on January 28, 2011 at 11:39pm: I will plan on coming on Sunday if the roads are decent. It will be just me. Do we need to bring anything?

Comment by Colleen on January 28, 2011 at 11:21pm: My husband & I are planning on Sunday. It looks for driving. Hopefully the "storm" they are predicting for Wednesday won't happen. They get it wrong most of the time anyways. Be safe everyone!

Comment by btmom on January 28, 2011 at 9:05pm: have fun at your get together this weekend, looking forward to Rockford in Feb. Selling a house to a couple who's son leaves for bootcamp Feb 16. Might get her to come along too:)

Comment by Colleen on January 28, 2011 at 6:48pm: Boy, hang onto your shorts girls. The snow is coming. Good thing it will be over with tomorrow so Sunday's trip to Lansing will be good driving. Hey Dunesmom, are you coming on Sunday? I'll get a good look at your car then. Maybe I'll race ahead of you down 96 to check out the food in Lansing. As you can tell, I haven't a competitive bone in my body!

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on January 28, 2011 at 9:27am: So looking forward to Sunday's get-together! Looks like the weather should be ok (fingers crossed there).
