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 NavyMomx3 on March 27, 2011 at 4:09pm: JJ, I trust you feel better soon. Sorry to hear you are still coughing and feeling dizzy. I hate it when I feel dizzy; I dread that. No fun whatsoever!! I look forward to meeting you someday. Keep us posted.

Comment by JJ on March 27, 2011 at 3:10pm: Thanks for asking how I'm doing, Carol. Still coughing and still a bit dizzy. My name wasn't in the Obits this morning, so I thought I was good for another day!! LOL I am so glad that everyone had a grea time at the get together. It is nice to know that we can support other moms that need it. Our sailors, both young and older, all need to know that we are very proud of them and it is very well known that we moms love to talk about them!

Comment by NavyMomx3 on March 27, 2011 at 1:04pm: I am very pleased that I was able to attend the March 26th luncheon for Navy Moms. It was my first luncheon with MN Navy Moms. Each of you blessed me with your love and support you have for your sailors, your family and for each other.

I shared the apple cider vinegar testimony with my husband. He loved it too. It is wonderful to know our Heavenly Father hears our prayers and answers them.

Comment by carol on March 26, 2011 at 11:19pm: Did you ladies that were able to meet have a good time? Are there any pictures? My husband had his car in the shop and we were down to one car. We are trying to get a lot of things done and errands run as we are on Spring Break. Our list is long for each day. It does feel good to some things crossed off.

Julie, how was your day?

JJ, how are you feeling?

Enjoy your Sailor, Cindy. Is it still snowy there?

Comment by tls on March 26, 2011 at 10:39am: CINDY --- Enjoy your Sailor! I won't make it to this one either --- my son (my babysitter for the little ones) had a last minute rugby practice scheduled ... you guys enjoy! I will look forward to the pics!

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on March 26, 2011 at 8:25am: HI ...I am with JJ, the crud hit our house, and My Sailor is home HooooRA! Until Monday...so not missing a minute. ONE OF THESE times I will get there to meet the rest of you AWESOME NAVY MOMS :)! Yes, take pictures and post!

Comment by JJ on March 26, 2011 at 3:53am: I am still not feeling well and don't want to pass this crud on to the others, so count me out, but make sure you take pictures to post! I will be thinking of how much fun you are having and all the stories you have about your sailors. I will miss everyone.
