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 Theblackdot on June 26, 2010 at 10:54pm: Carol,

Great to meet you, too, hope we meet again soon!

Comment by carol on June 23, 2010 at 10:34pm: Robin, how funny. Craig is in Lemoore. He is with the Black Aces. Small world!!

Comment by carol on June 22, 2010 at 4:51pm: JJ, I think that you got the names right. You are doing well!!

Thanks for posting the picture, Becky. It does show that we had a good time.
If any one is going to Blaine's Blazing Fourth this weekend, stop at the Blue Star Mothers tent. I'm going to help set it up Friday night, might also stop in on Saturday.

Comment by JJ on June 22, 2010 at 4:17pm: From left to right: Julie, Carol, Amanda, Robin, JJ (Judy), Frances, and Becky. Gee, I hope that I have that right. Most of the time I can't remember what I had for breakfast!

Comment by carol on June 19, 2010 at 10:32pm: And, Frances, it was great to meet you. I'm so glad you came.

Comment by carol on June 19, 2010 at 10:30pm: Robin, we loved coming over. It was great to have space and time to just talk and laugh. Where are his orders to???
JJ - I forgot what you were going to look up also. We talked about so many things!!
Becky, was that English primrose??

Comment by JJ on June 19, 2010 at 10:03pm: What a Blast!! Thanks Robin for having all of us at your home. I love seeing everyone...you are all great. I am thankful that I had my GPS with me since I forgot how I got there (LOL), but arrived home just in time to make a quick change and off we went. I am still trying to remember what the question was that I was going to look up on the Internet. It will probably come to me in the middle of the night...then I will forget it again before I get out of bed! Oh, well....and so life goes.

Comment by JJ on June 18, 2010 at 5:37pm: (I am not yelling at you, just correcting you.) I am sure that I will not be the first one to tell you that in the Navy, those vehicles are either SUBS or SHIPS, (or even a battle wagon) but NEVER a boat! And whatever you do, never refer to them as boats in front of your son. He will never you let forget that they are NOT boats and please referred to them as "she" or "her" out of respect.
