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 JJ on April 11, 2011 at 1:59pm: Names with faces.....WE ALL are fabulous looking in person!

Comment by NavyMomx3 on April 11, 2011 at 1:40pm: I'm sorry I missed this luncheon. I love the photo. I'm working on putting faces with the names. Thanks for posting. Maybe I can make May's luncheon.

Comment by JJ on April 10, 2011 at 2:56pm: I love messing with my old art program! Cut and paste from that photo and put it into this one. Looks good. Julie is the one that has been out in the sun.

Comment by JJ on April 10, 2011 at 1:30pm: These were my choices: Totally blurry, smile with narrow eyes, big eyes with frown. I just couldn't see myself posting a picture of a pretty face that looked mad at the world. Before I did a little "touch-up" on my hair, I looked as though I just got out of bed!! LOL All in all, I think we all look pretty good!! Yup, just sun in your eyes!

Now to start my day....I sent a message out to Robin to find out what happened to her. I am very concerned (as the rest of us) about her.

Have a great day, everyone.

Comment by carol on April 10, 2011 at 12:06am: Julie, it is just the sun in your eyes :)

Comment by carol on April 9, 2011 at 9:34pm: As always, good job, JJ.

Have a good night, all. Hope that the Thunderstorms they are predicting don't amount to very much.

Comment by JJ on April 9, 2011 at 9:22pm: OK....First things first. Patrick was still here when I got back, so we chatted and told stories for a while then went out to eat! Gee..can't get enough food today. I had a great time with all the Navy moms and Carol and I had a chance to catch up on the way down there. I am sure there is a better way to get to Chili's, I just haven't found it yet. For the ones that were not there today, I had great news happen right before I left to meet with the other Navy moms. First son Patrick "popped in" from Colorado and within 5 minutes Eric Robert called to say he is back on U.S. soil. I am thrilled he is back to see his little girl and wife. I won't see him before he leaves again, but I sure am happy he is back. After trying to get the colors better than they were on the photo, (too dark in the back, too light in the front) I am ready to send it over the air.

Comment by carol on April 9, 2011 at 5:02pm: Ladies, I hope that you got home safely. It was another enjoyable lunch together. I'm so glad I could go this time. Thank you, JJ.

Comment by NavyMomx3 on April 9, 2011 at 1:03pm: So true, Carol. It is so precious to talk and hear their voice.

Comment by carol on April 9, 2011 at 12:58pm: NavyMomx3, we will miss you. We just talked with all our kids on Skype this morning. We haven't all been together at the same time in forever. It is precious to talk, isn't it?
