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 January 9, 2011 at 11:17pm: You better bring it!!

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on January 9, 2011 at 8:21pm: Works for me...Can't wait to meet all of you!! Anyone Else's son in Pensacola FL for A school right now? My son graduated 12/17 from Boot Camp and is now in Pensacola FL. He has become friends with a another guy from MN...just wondering if his mom his part of this group :)??

Comment by JJ on January 9, 2011 at 8:03pm: We try for 1:00 because we end up staying until 3:00. We just have so much to talk about! Sometimes we cry, sometimes we laugh, but always have a great time!! That's the right place, sorta on the outskirts of Northtown Mall between Home Depot and Best Buy.

Comment by tls on January 9, 2011 at 7:54pm: Hi everyone ... I would love a chance to meet all of you on the 15th ... Northtown is on CR 10, right? I've been to a Target, Home Depot and Toys R Us up there --- that mall is Northtown I think ... My little one (5 years old) has a riding lesson that day at 9AM ... but we'd be back in town at 11AM or so --- what time do you guys usually get together?

I will keep Spencer and Eric Robert in my prayers as well ...

Comment by carol on January 9, 2011 at 7:25pm: Trina, I will keep Spencer in my prayers, also. JJ, Eric, too. Craig goes this summer, but now I guess there are some trials first.

Comment by JJ on January 9, 2011 at 7:21pm: I will wait a couple of days to see if the the 15th works for others. But that sounds good to me!

I will keep Spencer in my prayers, along with Eric Robert!

Comment by Trina (Spencer's Mom) on January 9, 2011 at 7:12pm: Hi all - just want to ask for thoughts and prayers. Spencer deploys Thursday. We leave early Tuesday morning to head down there and bring his vehicle and some other things back home while he is gone.

Comment by carol on January 9, 2011 at 7:05pm: Hi, I'm voting for Sat. the 15th at Buffalo Wild Wings. They probably wonder where we have been :)

You better bring back some warm weather, JJ!!!!

Comment by JJ on January 9, 2011 at 3:03pm: Hello everyone! I am hoping that we can all get together sometime in the next two weekends. Eric Robert is being deployed (again) next week and the hubby and I are leaving the 22nd. Robin, if you don't want to plan anything, I can arrange something over at the Buffalo Wing place at Northtown. Just let me know.

I am so glad that the Holidays are now over and we can get down to complaining about the cold weather and snow in Minnesota! LOL We are getting excited about our trip to see "our" WWII vet in Florida. It is going to be a complete surprise for him! It will be nice to get some warm weather and a little sun (at the same time). Until later....Have a great day!

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on January 8, 2011 at 5:48pm: tls & Cindy - I am in the Northern Suburbs as well. My son graduated boot camp in September.
