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 carol on June 18, 2011 at 2:03am: JJ, you don't have to drink for me, just have some chips or fries:)

Enjoy each other, and I will be waiting for the pictures.

Comment by JJ on June 17, 2011 at 11:32pm: We'll miss you too. I have the feeling that I should take up drinking so I can have a drink for all those that are not coming!! LOL I will take pictures and post at least one. I got a postcard for my granddaughter today (she's 3). Wanted to let Grandma and Grandpa know that she is loving Hawaii. How I wish it was Winter, we would be on the plane. But it is not. So I will just have to enjoy the other Navy moms at lunch on Saturday!! Can't think of a better place to be.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on June 16, 2011 at 12:12pm: We have a couple grad parties, but will see what happens. If I don't make it, tell your daughter thank you for her service!!

Comment by JJ on June 15, 2011 at 10:20am: Will take pictures and post them so you can see what "we look like now". Just in case for forgot!! LOL We will miss all that won't be there.

Comment by JJ on June 14, 2011 at 10:48pm: Great news, Amanda!! Flights to Jacksonville are fairly cheap if you watch the airlines! We used to fly there for as little as $109 round trip! (One flight was $69 but we had to leave the day after booking it) Eric Robert used to live there and he loved it. Not a bad place to visit either! Are we going to see you on Saturday? Would love to catch up on things.

Comment by carol on June 13, 2011 at 11:50pm: I will miss you all too, and I really wanted to come, but I am previously commited.

Comment by tls on June 12, 2011 at 3:43pm: Awesome video --- please take a moment to say a special thanks from me personally to ALL those in your family who are serving or have served!!

Comment by MNSunshine on June 11, 2011 at 9:28pm: tls--

Would love to make it as I would so like to meet you in person and your lovely daughter. I, however, committed to a soccer tournament in Wisconsin with my daughter months ago.

Enjoy.

Comment by tls on June 11, 2011 at 8:59am: So far, I've got a count of 6 for lunch next Saturday --- anyone else? C'mon --- who can resist wings & chips?
