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 February 20, 2011 at 12:09am: Everyone is welcome. Correction (I made an error) APO is Army/Air (Force) Post Office and FPO is Fleet Post Office. Sorry! I remembered that as soon as I got home.

Comment by tls on February 19, 2011 at 10:51pm: Awesome lunch! Hope more people can make it next time! JJ - thanks for planning this one!! Looking forward to next month!

Comment by carol on February 19, 2011 at 9:31pm: Good job, JJ. Love the sign.

I also had a good time. It is great to meet in person and share stories and laughter. Welcome, Lee Ann. Maybe next time you can join us.

Have a great Sunday, and I hope it doesn't snow so much!!

Comment by JJ on February 19, 2011 at 7:47pm: We had a great time today at the get together! Sorry that the others could not make it. Here are the ones that were able to make it: Julie, Toni Lynn, Linda, JJ, and Carol. Remember that anyone can set up a get together, all you need is a place that will let us chat for hours (1 to 2 or more), a time and a date.

Comment by carol on February 19, 2011 at 12:15am: See you!!

Comment by JJ on February 19, 2011 at 12:11am: For those who can make it on Saturday.....see you at 1:00 at the Buffalo Wild Wings!!

Comment by JJ on February 18, 2011 at 12:37am: Just post a message with the place and time. Any restaurant will do so long as they allow you to stay for about 2 to 3 hours!! Most places don't like people sitting there and not spending $$$ for more than an hour or so. Check around the southern area for a Buffulo Wild Wings place or other restaurant that allows it. Make a few calls and they will come right and tell you whether you can or not. I am sure there are many, many places that will let 6 to 10 people came and brag about their Military kids!! Who wouldn't love to have a bunch of moms?

Sorry you won't be getting together with us on Saturday. We will miss all that can't be there. Someone will post a picture!!

Comment by MN Mom of MM on February 17, 2011 at 11:39pm: I'd be ready for a get together most anytime. I am a vendor at a women's expo in Chaska on March 5th, and we are going to visit our sailor March 17th. so those days are out, but let me know what works for others. Sounds like we have moms in Eagle Lake, Morristown, Farmington, Apple Valley along with Mankato. We should be able to find a central point. Let me

Comment by carol on February 17, 2011 at 10:24pm: We will miss you, Mary. Hope you ladies can find another time to get together. It is fun to chat and share and laugh.

Comment by tls on February 17, 2011 at 9:19pm: HI TC!! My daughter was in the 11Feb11 grad group as well. Will you be joining us for lunch on Saturday?
