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 kellig on January 14, 2011 at 8:10pm: Sorry, something has come up and I will not make it tomorrow. I'm bummed cuz I was really looking forward to chatting with Navy moms. Maybe in February. Have fun!

Comment by JJ on January 14, 2011 at 12:26am: Bring Pictures, everyone! Temperatures will be dropping but the weatherman says the snow should be done by Saturday. Can't wait to see those that will be coming to the get together!

Comment by tls on January 11, 2011 at 7:31pm: I will be there for sure! SOOO excited to meet all of you!!

Comment by JJ on January 11, 2011 at 4:02pm: I just checked the weather for Saturday. Looks like it will be a high of 17 above with some snow flurries. Not too bad. Compare Saturday to tomorrow.

Comment by kellig on January 11, 2011 at 3:34pm: I will try to make it, it will depend on the weather. But what doesn't in MN this time of year!?! Sounds like just maybe really cold. As long as the snow stays away, I'm good.

Comment by JJ on January 11, 2011 at 2:26pm: I figured it out! Only took me all night, but I got it posted!! LOL

Comment by whoshero on January 11, 2011 at 11:42am: I'm sad I won't be able to join you, I work on Sat. but I'm glad you are getting together. I loved meeting some of you at the tea this fall and I hope the new moms take advantage of the great support this group can be.

My son was home for Christmas (an awesome visit) and after the tornados at Fort Leonard Wood we were even more grateful he was home! Lots of damage and loss. A School has been disrupted but they are still trying to get them through on time.

Comment by JJ on January 11, 2011 at 12:36am: Since I don't know how to put this on the "Disscussion Formum.....Here it is....I will make arrangements for the Buffalo Wild Wings place at Northtown at 1:00 on Saturday, the 15th. Those that can come will be welcomed with open arms!

I don't like driving when it's really cold either. I keep a quilt and a little extra munches in the car. But since I have lived even further NORTH, this isn't too bad. I even got locked out of my (still idling) car when it was -44 degrees. Of course my mittens and scraf were still on the front seat! And no cell phone!! Not a good time!! And I lived to talk about it. BRRRRRR

Comment by carol on January 10, 2011 at 10:43pm: Julie, it''s been so long :) And it is going to be COLD again this weekend.

Mary, I will put them in my prayers also.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on January 10, 2011 at 2:34pm: I can't come the 15th...baby shower for my niece, but I'm hoping to make it to one of these. I've never been able to make it:-( One of the Pastors at our church asked if I'd be interested in talking about what it's like to be a military mom at an upcoming women's retreat. Lots of feelings when I think about what I'll say...happy, sad, proud...
